Hard not to think negative things about a union being "pushy" at a place where there are serious cultural failings around safety, the company has engaged on a decades-long campaign of financial engineering where it has slashed investment into the company and instead paid out huge dividents to its shareholders, and the company regularly pursues and demonises whistleblowers (partly in what a cynical person might term collusion with the regulator, but also independently) who attempt to apply pressure to the company to improve and inform the public about the risk to life that the dangerous practices the finance types at Boeing have adopted.
