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

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.

I've wondered the same thing many times and wouldn't be surprised to see them decertify eventually.

Another thing that I haven't seen brought up is the factor of workers, both Machinists and Engineers, that could possibly relocate to SC. I believe that's a real possibility, especially for the younger workers.
