Did the unions push Boeing out of much of the production business?

“Did the unions push Boeing out of much of the production business?”

boeing has had unions for over half a century and was the envy of the world in terms of super high-quality engineering and manufacturing prowess ...

newgen C-suite bean-counter MSB’s who couldn’t engineer changing a light-bulb off-shored everything possible, just like every other “American” giganacorp ...

“global” manufacturing to save a buck via slave labor wages, you know, so-called Democrat/RINO “free trade” ...

it wasn’t that long ago that most everything we consumed was made in America, and yes things cost more, but blue collar workers were also paid enough that they could afford to buy the things made in America, buy a house and two cars, and raise a family ... now we have cheap chinese junk sold by the megaton on amazon and folks who struggle to buy eggs at the grocery store ...

No. Filling management with financial types who knew nothing about building airplanes and viewed it as an inconvenience ruined them. The unions didn't cause this mess, Boeing's current problems with the unions are a result of years of C suite screwups and screwing over their employees.
