Just as business brought on it's own woes with terrible labor practices, so too have the unions brought on their own set of woes. The pendulum swings both ways.
This Union / Non- Union argument will go on forever and politicians will forever get involved in those affairs, whether they should our not. We have heard it all before in one form or another and will probably hear it all again. As there is no argument that could be fostered by either side that would change an opposing viewpoint, I think it would behoove most of us to just sit back and see how this plays out.
Well said. Nothing to gain by taking sides here as there are sound arguments either way, and this is emotionally charged. The employees will ultimately determine their destiny.
If you want a strong union state move to a place like Illinois. If you prefer a strong non union state SC will do. I'm guessing Boeing didn't move there just for the climate. So it stands to reason SC's governor will stand with Boeing.
They said we couldn't build tires in SC. We now make more tires than any state in the country. They said we couldn't build cars in SC, now every BMW X-Series in the world is built here. GE builds some of the largest gas turbines in the world in Greenville across the street from where I'm sitting. We build guns, heavy equipment, high tech carbon fibers, robots, solar panels, transmissions...... I could go on and on and on. Guess what? Ain't a DAMN union in any of those places. Get over it.
I hear you and well said....
Amen, raise costs and they will have to move to stay competitive with govt subsidized AIRBUS.
