"However, in doing so, we were also able to increase benefit levels in dental and vision, and win protections that cap the amount you will be paying, including guarantees that you won't have to pay any future federal taxes on healthcare plans."

I’m confused as to how (or if) this affects the new SC plant and NLRB actions.

An article from Reuters.

excerpt:

The 28,000 members of the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers will vote on the contract deal next week, the union said on Wednesday.

If ratified, the union said it would drop its grievances against the company over its establishment of a new 787 production site in South Carolina, which is the subject of a dispute between Boeing and the NLRB.

Boeing, union make early deal, would end NLRB case

That looks like the big deal to me, the NLRB complaint about the SC plant will go away.

South Carolina & Washington Ping?

This NLRB/commie fiasco is a good reason to outlaw Unions in the USA.

Here’s a newsflash for the NLRB and the Unions:

(Boeing should have said...)

We’re opening our S. C. plant and proceeding with production.
Neither the NLRB or any Union have any standing in our decision.

Boeing surrendered to the thugs

In 25 years at Boeing I have NEVER seen IAM settle so quickly on a contract. The threat moving the 737 MAX out of Renton was one heck of a card the company held. My wife will be thrilled to know we will not have to move. We now have enough work to carry me well past retirement. :-)

[jazusamo]

I’m not privy to what’s going on in the negotiations but if this truly does make the NLRB complaint go away on the SC plant I believe Boeing got what they wanted.

[jazusamo]

That’s good news!

[AFreeBird]

Yep, a foot in the door of a non union plant. They expand the plant for the “plastic” planes, and let the union guys build the aluminum ones back in WA.

Then they come out with another composite model to be built in SC.

My 2¢ anyway.

...including guarantees that you won't have to pay any future federal taxes on healthcare plans."

That makes me feel so much better about paying that extra 10% hike in my self-paid premium this month.

My BC/BS now officially takes more of my already taxed income than my mortgage.

Boeing is too dependent on Gov’t contracts to be able to tell the NLRB to shove it.....but they should.

I assume that BNSF will remain in the business of air travel by rail (from KS).

Thanks for the ping.

“I assume that BNSF will remain in the business of air travel by rail (from KS).”

Yep. And BNSF delivers more than 737 body sections. Spirit Aero has part cars that go to Everett as well. So even if the 737 moved out of state, they would still ship from KS to WA by train.

I love seeing 2+ fuselage assys zipping across the fruited plains (and mountains).
