Machinists Blast Hawker Beechcraft for false claims on company website.
Wichita, KS, August 11, 2008 – IAM leadership today countered false numbers posted on the Hawker Beechcraft negotiations website. The company website touted “well over 1,000 hourly employees are now working on our production lines and the numbers are growing every day.”
“This is absolutely why we’re on strike,” said Union spokesman Bob Wood. “Company negotiators, led by lead company negotiator Dan Dymarkowski, lied repeatedly to union negotiators at the table, and they are now lying to the public.”
“It’s nowhere near one thousand workers,” said Wood. “We have enough friends on the inside to know they are not building new aircraft, just pushing things around.”
“Our strike is strong, and it’s clear that HBC Management is in a panic mode, and resorting to false claims,” said Wood.
************************************************
Folks, we ALL know there haven't been 1,000 who've crossed the line. It's the same as when they told the paper that they didn't hand out. proposals with the union logo on them - they have NO credibility.
They said the numbers have "tripled". Maybe that means that they took the real number, and tripled IT!
This simply shows our strike IS working, and they are grasping for straws to try to scare people into crossing the line.
