Boeing gives unions the finger...sweet!

[Texan2]

I have been following this story and am amazed that the NLRB has the audacity to try something this ridiculous.

Boeing faces NLRB persecution | The Columbia Daily Tribune - Columbia, Missouri

Boeing is adding jobs to the union plant as well as opening a new one. WTF is the union crying about?

I attribute the fall of American dominance of the world economy to unions gone wild. And this case showcases the heights of their insanity.

"Clearly, Boeing made a grave mistake in its labor relations. It should have located its production in South Carolina from the beginning."

I love it. There seems to be many companies moving production to SC. I am glad that companies are starting to fight back against these idiotic unions. A company must do what it has to do to survive, and I am just happy they aren't moving production to another country.

If the NLRB were to win, which is unlikely, it would drive more jobs overseas

I lived up in the NW a ways back, and had a roomate in the machinist union, working at the Boeing plant in Renton near Seattle. This guy made crazy money w/great benefits and was the laziest SOB you ever saw. Not to mention a drunk and pothead of the highest magnitude, as were most of his coke snorting union buddies. Nice to know who builds your airliners ain't it?

Man. Boeing could have moved the shop to Mexico or otherwise and saved a ton of money. Instead they keep the jobs stateside and the NLRB bitches? Fools.

Imagine that, trying to dictate what a private company does with its business operations! And they wonder why the jobs keep moving overseas....

The NLRB can’t point to any Boeing worker in Washington who has been harmed — let alone restrained or coerced — by the company’s decision to hire additional workers in South Carolina.

This pretty much slams it up the ass of the NLRB. Boeing is not closing down or relocating its current plant. It's opening a new one, therefore creating NEW jobs. One would think that the Obastard administration and its drooling lackey minions would support the creation of new jobs in this economic recession. Obviously, with the comments from the NLRB, this is not the case. But then, these jobs are NOT union which, as the article notes, erodes the "semi-guild system of 20th-century unionization," not to mention that there won't be a union to tell the South Carolina workers how to vote and the union doesn't get more money to back the socialist agenda of Odumbass and the rest of his ilk.

Go, Boeing!!

The arrogance of the unions is incredible! Agreed, go Boeing!!!

If I was in charge of one of these companies totally mired in union BS, I would just close the damn company at this point. Not sell it or pass it on... Closed. Doors are shut, assets liquidated, we're done. Wonder how the unions would feel about that? It would be fantastic to see all the good talent from the company start a new one in a free state and not make the same labor mistakes.

Lockheed Martin has a huge plant right here in Ft Worth, Texas. Texas is a right to work state and workers cannot be forced to join a union. Lockheed is doing quite well in Texas.

Good for Boeing!

How very John Galt.

however if a collective bargaining unit is formed its rules generally cover the position...

I can think of another prime that has collective bargaining units.

Got some family here that worked for BNSF (Railroad) as an engineer. He refused to join a union and after he told me some of the crazy and incompetent stuff unionized employees got away with I was blown away. I mean I've never supported any unions as they seem to want to kill the very thing that "feeds" them. GM is a good example. Instead of taking a few pay cuts they acutally pushed for more pay and bennies which the company couldn't support. But the stories from the BNSF union were out there man.

Coca-Cola here in DFW area is actually fighting to keep the union out of their plant. They know it will end them and they'd be better off bottling it in Mexico and shipping it up here.

lol good

Bring em here. We live in a great state that says; "If you wanna strike, do it outside, we need your desk."
