Boeing faces new petition for union at South Carolina plant
Workers at a Boeing aircraft factory in South Carolina are petitioning for union representation for the third time in the last three years. They are seeking to be represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). The vice president of Boeing South Carolina said that the company plans to fight the petition, based on a recent NLRB decision that made it more difficult to organize workers into smaller bargaining units. The workers will not get an election date until the legal issue is resolved.
