Boeing Relocation

09/19/11 11:22

The opening of new plant in South Carolina would open thousands of jobs for workers. However, this would also increase the struggle between organized labor and Boeing. The group takes it as a form of revenge of the company for the strike few years ago. I guess the company would prefer to stay in a right to work state in South Carolina than in heavily unionized place like Washington. But according to the company, they need to have more production to meet the delivery of jumbo jet and to avoid penalty. This is an advantage in the workers of South Carolina but not of the organized labor group in Washington.
