2.22.10: Governors launch U.S. Tanker Coalition, call for Pentagon to award refueling tanker to Boeing

When it comes to building a strong, diverse economy for Washington State, all of us play a critical role. That's why a dynamic, diverse coalition of business and labor officials, civic and elected officials and private citizens across Washington are joining to ensure that we protect and expand jobs in aerospace.

The partnership's efforts are currently focused on U.S. Tanker 2010, a bi-partisan effort to advocate for the awarding of the U.S. Air Force refueling tanker contract to The Boeing Company. For all the latest news, visit www.ustanker2010.com.

"We are committed to working with the Partnership to retain and create aerospace jobs here in Washington State. The Machinists stand ready to strengthen Washington as the world hub for aerospace."

--Tom Wroblewski, President/DBR, Aerospace Machinists DL 751

"Washington's aerospace industry is the most diverse in the world. The Aerospace Futures Alliance is pleased to be working with other industry and other community leaders in the Partnership to strengthen Washington's ability to win the Tanker contract and anchor our future in aerospace."
