Workers at Boeing's Charleston factory will be voting on union representation on February 15th. Despite working in the least unionized state in the country, the airline manufacturer's 2,850 employees are hoping to be represented by the International Association of Machinists, the world's largest airline and aerospace union. Boeing has fought union representation in the past and believes that organization is not in the best interest of its employees. The IAM attempted to organize the factory in 2015, but suspended its campaign.
