As far as I’m concerned, Boeing may build their planes wherever they find a favorable business climate and the resources to complete the task.
Union thugs here in Washington can’t stand a little competition, can they?
I hear you. It’s just a shame that these union slugs don’t realize or care that Boeing may just pull up stakes and leave.
“Union thugs here in Washington can’t stand a little competition, can they?
I’m a non union Boeing employee and my first taste of what you’re talking about came a few years ago. There was an hourly employee (union) that was trying to remove this large display board from our office building. I could see he was struggling to turn a corner with it, and could see that all it would take was for someone to lift the trailing corner and swing the board around for him. So being the helpful soul that I am, I get out of my desk and said, hear let me give you a hand. An easy lift for me and around the corner he was. All of a sudden I hear this from behind me, “Hey what the Hell are you doing?” I turn and see a shop steward in the hall with as angry a face as I have ever seen, saying, “Yea you, what the Hell do you think you are doing? That’s an IAM job, get your hands off it”.
What a horrible way to treat a fellow humane being that was just trying to lend a hand. That is IAM. That is Union. I would hate to see Boeing move out of WA because it is my livelihood, for at least the nest 10 to 12 years, but if I didn’t work for them, I would love to see them stick it to IAM once and for all.
