Boeing is not leaving Washington. All of their production facilities will remain.

They do intend to relocate their corporate HQ, and to decentralize control of their major divisions.
Funny that Chicago would be considered as a site for their new HQ if they were trying to leave unions behind.

Didn't Boeing move its headquarters to Chicago years ago?

Boeing's headquarters has been in Chicago since 2001. I remember when they were talking about moving it and the DFW area was in contention. The talk at the time was that they chose Chicago because of Lake Michigan and how it would cater better to the executives with the large boats as a replacement somewhat for Puget Sound.

There are rumblings of them moving a great part if not all manufacturing to places like South Carolina. That would be the anti-union aspect of the story.

I have heard that Boeing would like to build a second production line for the 787. With the safety issues that the 787 is having, i don't know of that will come off.
If it does, I've heard that eastern Europe is as likely a spot as South Carolina.

I remember the talk about Boeing looking at chicago for a HQ. Odd that I live 120 miles from there and never heard that it happened.

As far as I know, even Boeing's white collar bunch is union. Not sure how far that extends.

Manufacturers worldwide are focusing more on bottom line profits and less on core product issues. Investor driven business models generally focus on the near term. Hope that doesn't occur with Boeing.

Darn. I guess Foxy News just got the story several years late.

Here is the real story.

BOEING MOVING HUNDREDS OF JOBS TO NONUNION LOCATIONS

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...g-Hundreds-Of-Jobs-To-Nonunion-Locations

On Friday, Boeing announced plans to transfer 300 engineering jobs from Washington state to nonunion locations in Long Beach, California and North Charleston, South Carolina.

The aeronautics giant also says it is considering opening a new design facility in Kiev, Ukraine to support its Moscow operations, which employ 1,200 workers.
�It doesn�t mean the sky is failing,� Gov. Jay Inslee�s aerospace chief Alex Pietsch told the Seattle Times. "They are not leaving. They are just diversifying. It�s the nature of the industry and the way things seem to be going.�
Boeing�s decision to shift work to the nonunion South Carolina location comes on the heels of its April announcement that it would make a $1 billion investment in its South Carolina operations.

Last week, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Courier of Charleston obtained an email sent to South Carolina Boeing workers from general plant manager Jack Jones that encouraged them not to unionize.

"I want to be clear that it's Boeing's desire to remain union-free in South Carolina so we can keep the open culture of collaboration between teammates that we're all working hard to build,� Jones wrote. �I firmly believe a union is not in your best interest, nor is it in the best interest of our company, our BSC site, our customers, nor our community."

Boeing employs over 170,000 workers worldwide.

300 engineering jobs moving from WA to SoCal does not equate to Boeing leaving WA.

But it is another attempt for employee take aways. Too bad some of those take aways aren't coming from Jimbo McNerney who is the first CEO to ever deliver an Airplane not only late but 3 years late. Even at that he got what a 20 million dollar boneass. But the company just can't afford many employee benefits any more. Just ask Jimbo.

The fact is when bOEING paid McDougal Dauglass to take them over a large number of the McDougal share holders wanted the HQ in Chitcago because it was closer to them and would cut their travel to share holder meeting. When the dust all settled McDougal share holders owned the greatest share of bOEING. Not a bad scam if you can get a company to pay you for buying them out. Plus pay to upgrade most of you're behind the times computing technology you have neglected for ten years.

Sounds like yet another case of a union wanting to be where it's not needed. The unions originally were born out of the horrible conditions in the mines, the packing houses, and the railroads. They were sorely needed at that time and a lot of blood was spilled before they won and got decent working conditions for the members. However, that's not the case with a company like Boeing. Here the union would just be a greed and power grab.

keeping their HQ's flagged in the US is going to become job one.

South Carolina would be a last ditch effort to keep their flag stateside, imho.

they can go anywhere in the world, based upon offers recieved.

and who could blame them?

Actually the quote was "will the last Boeing employee to leave Seattle turn out the lights". In 1969.

Boeing has owned and used the Long Beach, CA plant for years, purchasing it from the McDonald Douglas company. Their plan from what I've read so far is to move their division that deals with the maintenance and upkeep of planes that they no longer produce to Long Beach from Washington which will wind up with the relocation of some 300 employees from the Washington plant.

Doesn't mean anything except that Boeing is making use of property they already own, and one which is a huge site.

What it really means is bOEING McDougal sold off a ton of Kaliforniastan properties so that they could show share holders a profit while they were losing their ass. But they kept a few more valuable properties. I doubt you're ever going to see anything substanial ever happen behind the citrus curtian. Other little games are being played.
