So, to hell with it and sink the ship you're on to spite the captain? I think you can fight those fights when you get through the storm not while you're in the eye of it.
I have not sympathy for management, but this move is cutting off their noses to spite their faces. It's not symbiotic.
Obviously management have been absolute bastards in managing the company almost to the point of bankruptcy, but it would be foolhardy to add insult to injury and speed up the company's demise --which it can only blame itself for.
If I were the union, rather than ask for large raises at inopportune times, I would ask for veto power in the Board to overrule stupid moves like the 737-MAX fiasco. This would save jobs and provide more opportunity for profits and raises.
It is impossible to know for outsiders if the demands are fair or not, without historic details.
Boeing will blame the workers at least partially when they file bankrupcy. At least other companies will take workers more seriously.
Historic example: Banana companies in poor countries were terrible. Lives and environment were destroyed in exchange for years of explotation. It was not fair for the workers. Absolutely without a doubt in retrospective
The workers always lose, but without a fight the situation doesn't improve for them.
