JobsSouth Carolina Gears Up for Job Grab
If you have seen the news lately, you are certainly aware of the struggle between organized labor and big business in South Carolina. In another case of labor claiming the company is out to get them, a union and their supporters in government are trying to stop a major American company from opening a new plant that will employ thousands of workers.
The company involved is Boeing. Boeing is relocating part of their 787 Dreamliner production to South Carolina from the Seattle area. South Carolina is a right to work state while Washington is heavily unionized. Boeing needs the extra production to be able to meet delivery of the long-anticipated jumbo jet. The battle between Boeing and the National Labor Relations Board also involves the usual political suspects - Democrats versus Republicans, both screaming their point of view in front of any available camera. The basis for the NLRB's complaint is that Boeing is punishing one of the Washington unions, the IAM, for a strike in 2008. Boeing, of course, says that strike by the IAM had nothing to do with their decision to open a production facility in South Carolina. Boeing went on to state that none of the 23,000 IAM union members in Washington will lose work to the South Carolina plant which will build three of the ten 787 jets produced each month. Boeing needs the extra production capacity in South Carolina to avoid costly penalties for delivering an aircraft past deadline. The strike in 2008 cost the company $1.8 billion due to the 58 days the union employees did not work and the company assembly lines were down. Obviously, the IAM is not buying that line. They contend the new production plant is punishment by Boeing and a sign of things to come. In other words, their position is that Boeing is attempting to break the union by building plants in right-to-work states rather than states that are unionized. No matter. South Carolina is welcoming Boeing and the new jobs.
