Boeing warns Seattle could lose 777X if deal rejected
Boeing Co said on Friday it was ready to look for another location to build its newest jet if assembly workers and local politicians do not ratify plans to build it in the Seattle area, its traditional manufacturing base. The U.S. planemaker issued the warning just hours after senior members of the International Association of Machinists union voiced strong opposition to a proposed labor contract that is due to go to a membership vote next Wednesday.

Whether it is just hotheaded union talk or serious will be told next week at the vote but Boeing is in a position now that they haven't been in for times past as far as being able to move or do things different. Folks in Seattle need to realize that there are other places that Boeing can go and that they are not ENTITLED to a job. It will be interesting.
Have they been asleep for a decade...... Or so.......???
Like I said, they feel ENTITLED to it; damn profitability; they must provide us a job; There were a whole bunch of industries that were in the North/Northeast that were there forever that moved South when they couldn't effectively manage their own company. It will be interesting. People have done stranger things but they need to realize that Boeing is serious. On another subject, looks like you might get some snow up there next week, depending on who you listen to.
I've got my fall chores done. Bring it on. Mess with me and I'll go to Florida. Lol
We may get snow here TOMORROW!
I guess the Machinists union didn't get the message with the 767 plant. So unless the NLRB decides it's illegal for a company to put a plant where they want, I say Boeing should break the strangle-hold that the union has on them in Seattle and move on down to the Southeast, where things are less expensive and the union is pretty powerless.
