OK.. lets slow down for a second.
Boeing is subject to a NLRB complaint for retaliating against its labor unions. Here is a copy of the NLRB Complaint: Complaint
This hearing is scheduled for June 14th.
"The Acting General Counsel seeks an Order requiring Respondent to have the Unit operate its second line of 787 Dreamliner aircraft assembly production in the State of Washington, utilizing supply lines maintained by the Unit in the Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, area facilities. (b) Other than as set forth in paragraph 13(a) above, the relief requested by the Acting General Counsel does not seek to prohibit Respondent from making non discriminatory decisions with respect to where work will be performed, including non-discriminatory decisions with respect to work at its North Charleston, South Carolina, facility. "
The relief requested is not to shut down the SC operations but to preserve the second line operations and supply lines in Washington.
That's not the essential problem here. If there were no unions in the first place, then only the <del>masters</del> bosses would get to make these decisions and we'd have a lot less trouble.
