The Harbor Freight Tools store 2 exits from the plant has a sign saying that they are hiring cashiers at $22.50/hr. No exaggeration, sign is in the window, Edmonds WA location.

So what's stopping them from jumping ship to supposed greener pastures in Edmonds[1][2]?

That a IAM union machinist would even consider a voluntary career pivot to the retail antithesis of "Buy Union-Made & American-Made products" because of a window sign says a lot...no exaggeration necessary.

Unfortunately, landlords do not accept Union Pride as rent payment. We all live in a society.

Sold out 2 contracts ago in return for a clause guaranteeing work placement in Washington state, which Boeing promptly moved to South Carolina as soon as the contract expired.
