The union looking to organize workers at Boeing's South Carolina plant has put its plans in a holding pattern, claiming workers are so opposed to signing up that they chased labor leaders off their porches at gunpoint.
The North Charleston plant, which opened in the right-to-work state four years ago and builds fuselages for 747s and 787s, employs about 7,500 workers. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers had been trying to build support for a vote this week on unionizing 3,175 production and maintenance workers, but called off the vote days before it was to happen.

Yes it would be. It’s been around about 10 years or so.
“The union said its organizers encountered a “toxic environment” in South Carolina.”
I don’t doubt that, but they can hardly blame that on Boeing, now can they? South Carolinians are still quite familiar with what unionization did to the textile industry there a few decades ago, namely sent the entire industry packing to China.
“Two organizers were threatened at gunpoint during home visits to gauge support and urge votes for unionization, and others reported “near-violent confrontations,” it said.”
I reckon the union “gauged” those folks as belonging in the “don’t support” column, huh?
“Dumb thugs brought clubs. We showed our bang sticks and they rethought their position on letting us in.”
Never bring a club to a bang stick fight.
Note to Boeing union thugs: Do NOT bring thug attitudes and clubs to a gunfight — unless you intend to leave at room temperature.
unions should be forced to hold a vote every four years to see if the union is aloud to represent the workers it claims to represent
>> I discretely slipped the Glock into the drawer of a table by the door
heh... note to self: not a bad idea to HAVE a table with such a drawer parked next to the door.
LOL!
YOU decide.
The law is a whole lot worse than that. I was once manager with a group of 12 people the UAW was trying to organize (they finally gave up). It was explained to me by our Legal Staff that a vote of 7 (half plus 1) would make the group all UAW members. If the group were to later realize their mistake and choose to leave the UAW, it would take a million votes (half the UAW at that time) to allow the dozen in the group to leave the UAW.
