Boeing’s anti-union campaign hits workers where they eat

A trio of table toppers that have shown up in the Boeing Co.’s employee cafeteria are enough to give any supporter of organized labor a case of indigestion.

Boeing placed the table-toppers — which are usually used by restaurants to promote menu items — in the cafeteria of its North Charleston campus to get its anti-union message across to employees. The International Association of Machinists last week filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to hold a union election for more than 2,400 eligible workers at the facility. A vote has been scheduled for April 22.

Meanwhile, the president of IAM Lodge No. 751, which represents Boeing workers in Washington state, said in a statement that he is hopeful his North Charleston counterparts will vote in favor of the IAM.

All the best to the IAM! My husband belonged for over 20 years. The main reason we have a decent retirement.
