Obama Administration Goes After Boeing to Protect Unions

I have to ask this question: why can't Boeing split off the South Carolina plant as an asset to a separate, newly formed company incorporated in SC and license it to build the 787 aircraft?

You mean like GE does, along with no taxes, but the CEO picks up the dinner check. Holder cliam to fame is as Clinton’s pardon pimp.,

If the plane can’t be produced in South CAROLINA, Boeing could always propose to move production to South KOREA. I doubt that the South Koreans would attempt to block that.

Its hard to create jobs when the government position is NO YOU CAN’T.

Boeing is simply going *Galt*.

Let Obama and the Union bastards howl all they want; if Boeing decides to put a plant on the moon and use robots instead of humans...that is their business.

Obama can go fu&%k himself.

Just what I was thinking. Another good candidate for the budget axe while we’re at it.

Atlas is getting ready to shrug!..........

[Campion]

Obama is screwing the South (Red States) in favor of his union buddies.

Same reason they made GM close the almost-new Saturn plant in Spring Hill, TN. Standard practice in Chicago politics -- punish your enemies, reward your friends.

South Carolina is a “right to work” state. One can be hired and fired at will. No reason is needed whatsoever.

Bull Pucky!

Good post Bill welcome to FR.

[Rich Mitchell]

I am definitely the author of that article. I looked through many FR posts and saw that many did use excerpts. I took the “When in Rome..” and all approach.

I was unaware that it was so offensive to do such a thing.

“Strangely, the first hearing will be with a judge that works for the NLRB”

Conflict of interests. Recuse yourself, Judge.

I have a friend who works for Boeing..and said "the CEO wanted to move it to a cheap right to work state". What he didn't say was the union wanted a seat on the board and an agreement that ALL future Boeing airplanes would be made in SEA. No CEO in his right mind would agree to that. This is classic tail wagging the dog...the unions think they run the company these days. Wouldn't blame them if they did move the whole store to Korea...or China.
