Know the whole story here or just posting? How many LOST good paying union jobs in Wichita when this move to SC happened. Boeing had been here since about 1930 when Boeing bought Stearman. Let me give you a clue MORE than 200 HIGH paying union jobs went away.

Oh and losing jobs?? Ask around about what happened when Boeing supposedly "sold" production to a new Company called Spirit (many claim Boeing owns it) here and how many who had 15-20-30 years with Boeing got CANNED and were never told why. Gosh...wonder WHY Boeing/Spirit would get rid of people with 20-30 years service and at the TOP paygrade...duhhhhhhh.

There was a class action lawsuit that never went anywhere because of the money Boeing had to squash it. Workers were thrown out of a job litterly overnight when DHL delivered their "YOUR FIRED" notices on a Saturday and Sunday and workers didn't need to report to work on Monday.

The whole sceniero behind that move to SC was DIRTY and nothing but an attempt at union busting. Yeah,laughing at what's happening IS progressive of me.
