There’s a new employer in town

Rancor over the sale of Boeing’s local commercial operation will be with Wichita for a while. But it was a relief to see the Onex Corp. and Machinists union restart contract talks Monday and adopt an optimistic new tone. Also welcome were more signals that the new company expects to add jobs soon, giving priority to former Boeing workers. Going forward, it will help if people in the community try to keep in mind what Dick Schneider, aerospace coordinator for the Machinists union, said: “This is not Boeing. Onex is a brand-new employer here.”

    People need to understand that all of us — employees, the company, and Wichita — need Onex to succeed.
