Boeing Engineers Do It Again, Despite the "Surprised" Public Officials

Community “officials” express “surprise” that Boeing is constructing a plant in South Carolina to build a new airplane line at that plant instead of in Everett, Washington.

The “surprise” is feigned. In South Carolina the engineers de-certified the union. In Washington, the engineers not only hate Boeing, they have been convicted of destroying the property of employees who have crossed the picket line. Boeing employees in Washington State have been pampered by a union-loving government – at all levels - and have priced and “attituded” themselves out of work, at least in this monumental decision. Boeing employees are the perfect example of greedy people who believe the union provides the paycheck, not the employer. For the union-bought community “leaders” to instead admit that they were not “surprised” would be to confess that they have been in bed with organized labor, refusing to voice concerns that the union goons are out of line as they suck the blood from the employer.
In Everett, Washington, where the plane may have been built, the Gestapo International Association of Fire Fighters actually runs a print shop to print yard signs for union-friendly public office candidates. This is the environment in which Boeing had to try to reign in labor costs.

Our governor, Christine Gregoire, who is a union prostitute, has spent every taxpayer dollar she can legally scrounge, to artificially lower the costs Boeing would incur in Washigton so that the non-labor costs added to the exorbitant labor costs would still be less than the total cost of building the plane in South Carolina. Normally Boeing has little appreciation of anything other than money but it may be in this case the company tired of union hatred and if the reader has seen any public TV interviewing union officials, the reader would find it tough to disagree with Boeing.

I am not a fan of big business and that includes big labor but clearly labor is at fault for the lost Washington jobs. The responsibility is not shared; labor was offered several opporunities to keep the labor costs down. The prostitute governor has no business taking my money to lower other Boeing costs so that when non-labor costs are added to exorbitant labor cost cost of production is still less expensive in Washington. Several years ago Boeing moved its corporate headquarters to Chicago to lower costs. Hello!

I am delighted that Boeing chose South Carolina for its new aircraft. There are reasonable people in any group including organized labor and perhaps those people in the Boeing Engineers' group in Washington will begin to stand up against the goon “leadership” to develop a partnership attitude instead of the “we are aggrieved” attitude.

Fun to watch.
