ILWU Local 32 members handle Boeing parts at the Port of Everett, WA.
Dennis Kronewitter works on the Boeing Field flight line and is one of many who opposes the TPP.
At a meeting of the Machinists Union District 75, Kronewitter was getting 737s ready for delivery. Business these days has never been better, but both he and his union fear because of the TPP, jobs could be moved more easily to other countries.
“If a layoff were to come, I would be at the top of the list,” Kronewitter said. “Not just the ’37, but what about the next airplane program? Is that airplane program going to another country or another state?”
