This is no surprise to me. I live in the Seattle area and I remember the strike that the Boeing Machinist Union took during the economic downturn. I thought that they were idiots; but, I have come to the conclusion that union people do not think that the laws of economics should ever impact them. It was right after that strike that Boeing opened it's plant in the South.

I think that eventually, Boeing will be leaving the Seattle area permanently. They have already moved the corporate offices to Chicago. They are putting more and more of their production lines outside of the state of Washington. And, Washington State and the Machinist's Union will have only themselves to blame.

Then you remember the Almost Live skit about the Boeing union members sleeping on their desks?

Hey, they can always work at McDonalds or Wienerschnitzel in Sea-Tac and start at $15 an hour.

Hotdog!

Now the NLRB has Richard Griffin on its side so the union probably is more confident that Boeing can’t move out of Seattle.

And the Seattle Times also - they’ve always come down on the side of the unions, constantly bashing Boeing.
