Bob Wood Quotations

My dad and grandpas are turning over in their graves.

We've fought this company for three months and this is definitely not a loss. We did get some improvement in our medical insurance and medical insurance is what this strike was all about.

We are nearing three months on strike. We have a duty to send this to the membership for a vote. It's democracy at its finest. The strikers at Boeing have the final say on whether to keep striking or not.

We lost in double-overtime, but we were down 18 at the half. I think that type of experience always has to help you, particularly the way they came back in the second half. Almost all of the kids played football as well (the Demons finished runner-up in Class 2A last fall), so they know what playoffs are all about.

To be honest, they played us much tougher than I anticipated. We had a couple girls playing in different positions, and Ludlow did a real nice job making a lot of digs on balls.

There was some movement on the part of the company in insurance premiums and deductibles, as well as caps on premium costs. Boeing offered the establishment of a committee to find ways to reduce retiree health care costs for future hires.

That's easy. We always make sacrifices for our future. Employers try to make things a two-tier system to pit workers against each other.

The camaraderie amongst runners is tremendous. I always have a wonderful time. I continue to be the oldest runner and that makes me feel good and people treat me so well that I feel like one of the boys,

All the contracts have been ratified and everyone will go back to work on Monday.
