jgoose71 0 #1 December 12, 2011 QuoteWhat a sham, or scam, or choose a synonym. On Wednesday, the International Association of Machinists approved a new contract with Boeing in which the company agreed to make its 737 Max jet with union labor in Washington state. Yesterday, after getting the machinist all-clear, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) dropped its lawsuit against Boeing's investment in South Carolina. Has there ever been a more blatant case of a supposedly independent agency siding with a union over management in collective bargaining? QuoteThe ability of the 21 right-to-work states, which passed such laws under the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act, to attract businesses from pro-union states will also be eroded. The AFL-CIO may cheer that message, but in practice the result is likely to be that more companies simply send jobs overseas where there's no NLRB.

The lawsuit was bunk. The only way it would have been illegal was if they were planning to fire all the Washington employes and re-open the plant in South Carolina. But the case was the 737's were supposed to continue being built in Washington and the 787's were to be built in South Carolina. However, the government and unions held the South Carolina plant hostage with a law suit to get them selves a sweet deal. Debt paid."There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.
