Workers at Boeing Co.'s large plane-making facility in South
Carolina on Wednesday voted against joining a union in a move that
could affect where the company manufactures future aircraft
models.
Seventy-four percent of the nearly 3,000 hourly staff at
Boeing's plants around Charleston, which assemble 787 Dreamliner
jets and other parts, voted not to recognize the International
Association of Machinists, Boeing said in a statement. The
hard-fought campaign drew criticism from both sides for the tactics
employed to sway workers.
The Charleston plants are the sole assembly facility for the new
787-10, the largest member of the Dreamliner family, which is set
to be rolled out Friday at a ceremony attended by President Donald
Trump.
