Boeing Moving To Charlestom, SC
“This is obviously a very disappointing day for all Washingtonians, particularly the more than 73,000 Boeing workers in our state. We did all we could to demonstrate that Washington is the best place in America to build airplanes. State and local government worked hand in hand with our capable Congressional delegation, business and community leaders, educators and countless others to show our collective support for locating the second 787 assembly line here." “Unfortunately, the active and intense discussions between Boeing and the Machinists union did not result in an agreement acceptable to both sides. My colleagues in the Congressional delegation and I worked tirelessly to urge an agreement if at all possible; ultimately the two sides could not come together."

If the Unions keep it up all the jobs will be in the Conservative South.
Hip Hip Hooray for Unions! They've been doing a hell of a job at destroying the liberal states they've sunk their roots into. Like Michigan where unemployment is the highest in the nation. |

Oh no, no, no...tax breaks aren't the real reason it's the difference in Labor Laws. Some states are damn near right to work states, but you don't find that in the south. Southern states have atmospheres that make it much more pro-business than pro-union. |

Where in the state is this plant going to be? I hadn't heard anything on the news at all about Boeing even looking at SC for a plant. My dad may be interested. He has a Masters in Aerospace Research and Design, his specialty is rotary wing, but who knows, maybe they are willing to hire a middle aged intellectual with a background in the classroom and cockpit.

Pretty sure the first line of the article. The airplane maker Boeing is moving to North Charleston, South Carolina.  |

Yeah! Unemployment & lost revenue is a winning option in this economy. They need to stick to their guns & be defiant to the last unemployment check. That'll teach 'em over yonder in SC. You know Olympia wants a state income tax so bad they're already spending the "projected revenues". I swear they're aiming to "beat" Kali's $28B+ debt, & we're ~1/2 way there. 
Vote "yes" on 1033. |

Probably outside of Charleston. The Port Facilities and Military airport are close by, good power, great workforce, low cost of living. I think large parts of the old Naval Base are still available. Lockheed has/had a plant there. Bosch was there for ages. The folks there are generally hard workers, and can learn assembly skills quickly. Probably not a lot of design engineering (maybe project engineering), not rotary wing stuff. For rotary wing, check sites for Huntsville Alabama. The military is consolidating the rotary wing stuff here, sounds like a better fit. Check monster, and the government job sites. |

The only other comment I will add to this is that bids are not solely up to to unions and as far as labor cost are involved in manf. they are ill if none in manf. bids. I've been involved on both sides for over 13years now. Business is business as they say and as a business owner and organized labor supporter I will say no one ever sees all sides including me.
