The Empire Strikes Again : 700 Boeing Workers Picket

All because some employee was “clocking on when he wasn’t there.” (At least that’s Boeing’s version of the story)
You’ll see a stark difference between the perspectives of this article that I Dugg and the Union Solidarity site. One side of the story says that the strike is because “time-keeping irregularities” (that can be avoided using TSheets, sorry for the shameless plug, I couldn’t resist ;-) )and the other side says that it’s because of a failure to follow procedures. Whatever the reason, Boeing is out 700 employees trying to patch the holes with Scabs while picketers brace themselves to handle line breakers coming tomorrow. – What a mess.
Avoid finding yourself in this position by setting up standards for your employees to hit the time clock whenever they’re coming and going and any other standards your organization may need. Then don’t be afraid to enforce it across your organization. If you find yourself in Boeing’s situation you’ll know how to proceed. Just make sure you obey the rules just like everyone else. :-)
