Boeing firefighters picket in Everett for better pay
EVERETT —The sprawling Boeing aircraft assembly plant at Paine Field is like a small city. The plant employing 35,000 workers has its own security force, medical facilities and firefighters.
Now, 160 Boeing firefighters — members of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local I-66 — are seeking a deal from the aerospace giant that includes competitive pay and better staffing.
Pay for Boeing fire fighters is on average 20% less compared to regional fire departments and fire districts, union officials said.
Local I-66, which represents firefighters at Boeing facilities in Everett, Auburn, Renton, Seattle and Moses Lake, held an informational picket Monday outside an entrance to the Everett factory.
