Vought Aircraft Industries – June 2008
Machinists and aerospace workers at Boeing Charleston, formerly Vought Aircraft Industries, are voting from 1:30 to 5:00 PM ET on the future of the workforce’s relationship with International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The vote could play a pivotal role in deciding whether or not Boeing selects the North Charleston, South Carolina site for the second 787 line. Company officials insist that the vote is not tied to the decision on the second line, but the issue of labor relations with the IAM in Seattle are at the center of Boeing’s thought process on the location of expanded 787 assembly.
FlightBlogger will cover news of the vote as details become available.
