It’s not the state. The state granted Boeing NINE BILLION in tax incentives to keep it here.
Boeing had offered the machinists a guarantee that they would keep the plane here, and pretty much offered them a guarantee for EIGHT YEARS OF CONTINUOUS EMPLOYMENT.
That wasn’t good enough for the machinists, (like they could get that kind of deal anywhere else in the world), so they voted the contract down.
Now seems like they are waking up and smelling the coffee after crying in their beer all night!
They’re gonna get twinkied.
