Dave Jamieson has been HuffPost's labor reporter since 2011. Before joining the D.C. bureau, he was a staff writer at Washington City Paper and a freelancer contributing to Slate, the New Republic, the Washington Post and Outside magazine, among other outlets.

Boeing locked out 125 unionized firefighters and emergency responders from their jobs in Washington state this weekendThe aircraft manufacturer and the workers’ union, the International Association of Fire Fighters Local I-66, have been negotiating since February. Boeing forced the workers out early Saturday morning after the union turned down the company’s final offer.

The union said the lockout was “intended to punish, intimidate, and coerce its firefighters into accepting a contract that undervalues their work.”“When is Boeing going to make safety a priority? When is Boeing finally going to listen?” Casey Yeager, the union’s president, said in a statement. Yeager maintained that the firefighter lockout could end up siphoning resources from other fire departments in the area.
