Both the International Association of Machinists and Boeing say the strike by 18,000 workers there could be a long one. One analyst says Boeing is willing to go three or four months. The big issues for Boeing workers are their pensions and health insurance. Workers want a 33 percent pension increase - which still won't get them near the Boeing CEO's multi-million dollar pension package. Boeing offered ten percent but wanted to shift some health care costs to workers.
