| Abstract: | The author states the questions - why Boeing's engineers and technicians striked for 40 days in early 2000; and what other companies with large cadres of knowledge workers can learn from the experience. The morale of Boeing's cadre of engineers was in a real slump by the end of last century. Newly imported management had suddenly begun focusing on financial results rather than engineering excellence, and the engineers had begun to feel that their basic contributions were receiving short shrift. Failing to detect this decline in morale, Boeing management had made no preparations for weathering a strike and was caught by surprise when its knowledge workers walked out. |
