re: #191 Targetpractice

“Hence the move now towards “right-to-work,” which they convince their mind-numbed minions is actually “good” for them because businesses love to move to states where workers have virtually no rights and the state/local laws on worker rights and safety are treated like suggestions rather than enforced.”

My youngest brother lives in Washington State and works for Boeing as an electrician. A few years back, we discussed the company’s decision to build a plant in S.C. I told him the top starting salary in S.C. would be a little over $10.00/hr. I used to read The State, SC’s largest newspaper. Those who were commenting there thought that $10.00/hr was a great salary. Working for the same company, my brother makes more than three times what Boeing workers in S.C. make. Part of the deal S.C. lawmakers offered Boeing included the fact that Boeing wouldn’t have to be bothered by “union interference” in S.C. Mark Sanford sold his state’s citizens out to get the Boeing plant. Shortly after the plant went into production mode, work had to stop because the company discovered that quite a few of the workers they’d hired didn’t have the necessary skills to do their jobs and fill the orders. Boeing had to pay a fine to the customer for every Dreamliner it couldn’t deliver on time. Imagine that!
