Union cancels Boeing vote, claiming gun-toting workers told it to take off

Via Iver


The union looking to organize workers at Boeing's South Carolina plant has put its plans in a holding pattern, claiming workers are so opposed to signing up that they chased labor leaders off their porches at gunpoint.

The North Charleston plant, which opened in the right-to-work state four years ago and builds fuselages for 747s and 787s, employs about 7,500 workers. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers had been trying to build support for a vote this week on unionizing 3,175 production and maintenance workers, but called off the vote days before it was to happen.

  1. The labor leaders see nothing wrong with their own use of tactics like showing up on someone's front porch, demonstrating they know where you live. Subtle coersion meets resistance. It must be a new experience for them.

  2. The teamsters were trying to get interested mechanics to sign up for a union at my old workplace in Indianapolis. So a few of them went to the meeting and when asked if they had any questions the line of questions centered around "where was Jimmy buried". That pretty well ended their efforts and we were once again safe from their BS.

  3. Anyone with the gall to show up on someone's front porch to try and bully them into backing a union deserves to be run off at gunpoint. Too bad some of them didn't get a bit of rocksalt in their backsides for good measure.
