Union vote quells NLRB controversy
2011-12-13
Unions take more precaution against voter fraud than the country
A Boeing Machinists union voted late Wednesday to approve a four-year contract extension, likely ending a months-long labor debate that provoked Republican attacks on the National Labor Relations Board and the White House.

Seventy-four percent of District 751 members voted to accept the deal. District 751 represents more than 45,000 active, laid-off and retired Boeing employees, most of them in Washington state. The contract increases wages and ensures Boeing's new 737 MAX plane will be built in Washington's Puget Sound region.

#4  What's not said is that BCAC is considering closing the Wichita plants ( they make 737 fuselage barrel sections) and co-locate those activities in the Renton location. That after they wined and dined the Kansas politicos into supporting the Tanker jobs are going to be put into Wichita. no word yet if the tanker jobs are moving to Everett ( where the PAX versions of the 767 are built)

#3  The NLRB is just the extortionist arm of the Union crime syndicate.

#2  If Boeing wanted to move to South Carolina, they should have. No interference from the Feds. I'm thinking the NLRB is looking a lot like the U.N.
