I didn’t realize the SC employees still had a union. I knew it’s a right to work state but I thought they voted the union out after Boeing bought the plant, I know they had an election about the union.

We’ve lived here about 15 years now, I well remember the union strikes at Boeing and especially the last one you mentioned and how it hurt them.

Thanks for the info.

There are more unions at Boeing than the Machinist Union. Engineers and Planners have a separate Union, though they rarely strike. The Boeing truck drivers are in their own Union, I think they are Teamsters. And many of the Subsidiaries and non Boeing suppliers such as Spirit where the 737 body sections are made have union shops. So just because there is a SC plant does not mean workers are all non-union. Same here in WA. Almost my entire office building is non-union.
