Seriously, I watched the late KIRO TV breaking news on the rejection of the Boeing contract. The members were hopping mad at Boeing. It shows how much they have been inflamed by the union rhetoric. They think this is a bluff by Boeing, so they are going to stand their ground. I believe they are taking a big risk. Boeing has already built a new plants: St. Louis, Missouri, and Charleston, South Carolina. Both have great locations to port facilities.
Seattle is a great port facility, however, the transportation to and from the port is horrible. The politicians in Washington State's capitol think highway construction will only benefit those pesky cars. Between the environmentalists and the unions, the cost of highways is sky high and takes forever to build. I bet St. Louis and Charleston have great highways.
There is a black cloud hoovering over rainy Washington State. If Boeing moves out, the economy will be hit hard. The nitwits in Olympia (the state capitol) have no clue what the real consequences will be. To me it will be the result of the liberal politicians who will have sold the State of Washington down the river. If they think their tax revenue is hurting now, wait until there are no Boeing workers to provide the state sales tax (which is one of the highest in the nation) and the property taxes.
