Remember a company called Hostess? The company had a very difficult time with strikers, so what did Hostess do? They closed up shop and sold the company...LOL EVERY individual had no job after that...LOL. How long would it take for these strikers to truly spend and lose their savings and not have any income to pay for their homes, bills, personal vehicles, etc?
Even if there is some agreement, some of these people probably still won't have a job, as Boeing looking to cut costs. For some, the strike will have done them more harm than good.
