Boeing Plant Moving To South Carolina; 12,000 Jobs To Be Created In 3 Years
The company has been embattled with union workers the past year back in Washington state, which, along with manufacturing troubles, has delayed first flight and deliveries of the aircraft. Governor Chris Gregoire of Washington issued the following statement on Boeing’s decision to locate the second 787 production line in South Carolina:
“Unfortunately, the active and intense discussions between Boeing and the Machinists union did not result in an agreement acceptable to both sides. My colleagues in the Congressional delegation and I worked tirelessly to urge an agreement if at all possible; ultimately the two sides could not come together.“

HARLEY PLANT
To workers, neighbors it's a beloved constant
Union and local residents
Gov. Ed Rendell told a rally last weekend that the state would offer $15 million toward construction of a new facility, as well as help with infrastructure improvements and training.
That offer is appreciated, Harley spokesman Bob Klein said.
But it likely isn't enough. The company wants concession from the unionized employees.
H-D is set to make their decision in December.
