Can we go on strike with the ports and get a pay increase as well? Pretty underpaid to be building these wonderful private jet airplanes.

Things are happening just ask the manufacturing and completions folks and ask yourselves why and is this how we define our pay policies? Looks like all the recent union activity is having an impact. Butt is it’s fair. Asked my PP and they knew nothing.
You might want to ask around the Manufacturing's floor as the momentum might already be starting. Nothing like unfair treatment and pay practices to get people fired up
Go git yerself a job at the port.
To initiate the groundwork for organizing a strike, it is crucial to first establish a small, dedicated core group of trusted individuals. This group will be responsible for gathering and assessing key information that will inform the strategic direction of the strike.
One of the immediate steps will be to create an anonymous sign-up system. Given the sensitivity of the situation, employees may be reluctant to openly provide their names due to fear of retaliation. Therefore, the anonymity of participants must be guaranteed to encourage broader participation. Secure methods—such as encrypted online platforms or discreet physical drop boxes—should be utilized to protect the identities of those who choose to join.
In terms of momentum, a target participation rate of at least 25% of the workforce should be aimed for. Achieving this level of engagement will signal strong support and provide the necessary leverage to advance the cause. Once this threshold is met, the core group can confidently move forward with planning and executing the next steps of the strike.
To ensure success, communication must remain discreet and confidential at all times, and the group should continually review legal protections and risks associated with collective action.
As Griswold said, there would have to be an overwhelming number of workers joining in and following thru. I'd say at 90% to 95% of all including contractors. The chances of this are slim, and most are probably watching the Boeing situation first to see what happens there. But if we did, it would raise an eyebrow quickly and probably only need to last a single week
You'd have to ensure much of your team and many employees are on board. If not and it's only a select few who strike, you can count on being let go or best case, the 1st in line for the next RIF. Too many dedicated folks who are worried about their paychecks and well being at this company would probably not join due to fear of repercussions.
