Good as a game, mostly bad – in any form – in real life

This is why the unions want it to suck everywhere.

On Wednesday, Boeing announced it would put a second 787 assembly line in Charleston, S.C., rather than Everett, WA.

Competition – it works!

Washington’s competitiveness, from a labor standpoint, is dismal. Other states should take note. South Carolina is a right-to-work state, meaning workers do not have to be members of a union as a condition of employment. Workers at the South Carolina plant where Boeing plans to locate its second 787 line recently voted to remove the union from the plant—an unlikely feat in Washington given our current labor laws and the history of organized labor in this state.

So, Boeing machinists get less work and are less secure. They ought to fire their union leaders, but they won’t.

Labor .monopolies are just as bad on monopolies of production. All states should be right to work. And all states & the United States should strongly enforce monopoly laws against labor organizations as well as producers.  Boeing should have its choice of unions and/or unaffiliated machinists to hire.
