NLRB Issues Complaint Against Boeing For South Carolina Expansion

May 2011
Employment Law Notes
In 2009, Boeing, Inc. decided to complement its production lines in Washington State with a new assembly plant near Charleston, South Carolina. The second line, scheduled to open this summer, will focus primarily on assembly of the 787 Dreamliner. Boeing plans to produce three 787 planes per month at the South Carolina facility, while producing seven planes per month at its Puget Sound facility. Boeing recently reported that construction of the South Carolina facility is nearly complete and that the company has hired more than 1,000 new workers to work the assembly line.
