Here in Washington state, the machinists union has historically gone on strike every few years. This has occurred for decades and makes it difficult for Boeing to operate efficiently.
Also, Washington state, at least the western part where Boeing has its plants, is a very expensive place to live. The high-paid Microsoft, Amazon and other tech company employees drive up the price of homes and rentals substantially.
And we have a crazed Seattle mayor who is more interested in non citizens than he is citizens. He reigns over a miles long under-the-freeway tent city.

Boeing is trying to have a minimal foot print in the state of Washington. A lot of smaller companies will fold as Boeing slowly moves away.
