Looks Like Boeing Isn't Playing Around this Time: Boeing machinists reject contract offer
The IAM voted down Boeing's contract offer today to secure work on the 777X. It would appear Boeing intends to look elsewhere for a location for this work to take place. Going forward it will be interesting to see where the 777X ends up getting assembled. (boeing.mediaroom.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Well, love or hate the unions; whether the offer was good or bad, as some of the rank and file said in the article, "We protected our union". That's all well and good except that the union don't sign the paychecks and is not owed a thing by Boeing. That said, Boeing is going to have to make good to do something else with the plane, lest it be weakened.
Bring it to Long Beach.
Besides being located in the PRoC, wouldn't they inherit the same union problems they are trying to get away from?
Long Beach has one major problem...it is located in the Peoples Republic of California.
Look for a large wing fabricating plant in a right to work state where finished products can be easily moved to final assembly plants for all the Boeing models, now and future. This vote probably lowered Boeing's cost after a capital investment for a plant.
That leaves a question of location for final assembly of the 777X. Hopefully Boeing has a location outside of Puget Sound available.

Minor Clarification: that is PRoSC República Popular del Sur de California.
As opposed either the PR of Davis or Berkeley, or the nascent State of Jefferson.
I know they all seem the same from that side of the Mississippi, but as the AngloSaxon asked, "Angle, or Saxon?".

Beware of matches, aren't you under a red-flag warning today?
Nope. LOL
