"You've got a chance to keep the rest of it," McCallum said. The Charleston selection, he said, is "a wake-up call."

I wonder if the Boeing unions are going to wake up.

Ever since I can remember the Seattle Times, the PI and the Unions bashed Boeing incessantly - so now when the battered wife leaves they’re upset????????

No they will not wake up until it is far too late for the states with closed shop laws.

............The Machinists must accept that if Boeing doesn’t like their demands, it can direct future work to its nonunion Charleston plants....................

Nah!

Zero, dead fish Rahmbo, Princess Pelosi, and Reid will all get their Rats to back “Card Check” and the thugs will intimidate enough Charleston workers to vote into a union within a month of opening.

It’s the Saul Alinsky Chicago way

Hopefully, at least the engineers' union will decertify the union. It always amazed me that the well-paid engineers were unionized.

Mark my word, the South Carolinians will make a play for the future engineering work, also. They brought a BMW plant to SC about 10 years ago and Lockheed Martin has had a strong presence in aircraft maintenance and logistics there for years.

Kudos to SC.

There’s no waking up the government in this state, that’s for sure.

It’s like DC. They just don’t get it!

The engineers have a union? There are a lot of good engineers out there looking for work. Some of them used to work in the auto industry.

Shouldn’t you be saying “Isn’t is time for the UNIONS to wake up”?
