Boeing Continues to fight for Their Property Right
According to Reuters, Kyle Peterson editing by John
Wallace dated June 14, 2011, A hearing before an administrative law judge was set to begin later Tuesday
in Seattle, the home of Boeing's commercial airplanes division.
The world's largest aerospace and defense company is accused by the National
Labor Relations Board, an independent government agency, of putting the second
787 line in South Carolina to punish Washington-based workers for past
strikes.
Boeing has vowed to fight the NLRB complaint.
"We believe the complaint is legally frivolous and contrary to 45 years of
Supreme Court precedent," Boeing said in a statement on Monday. "The company has
no choice but to defend itself in this matter, and we believe that we will
prevail in federal court, should it come to that stage."
Boeing Chief Executive Jim McNerney has weighed in on the complaint several
times, saying the NLRB has overreached its authority.
The dispute has drawn the attention of pro-business politicians like
Republican Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, who has said he will propose
legislation prohibiting the NLRB from taking similar action against other
companies.
The NLRB complaint against Boeing stems from one lodged in 2010 by the
International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, District Lodge
751, which represents the company's workers in Washington.
Tom Wroblewski, local IAM president in Seattle, has said Boeing opened the
South Carolina line to "intimidate our members with the idea that the company
would take away their work unless they made concessions at the bargaining
table."
Boeing opened its $750 million 787 plant in North Charleston, South Carolina,
on Friday.
The company has said it did not violate the law by putting its second 787
production line in South Carolina, where workers will assemble three planes each
month. The South Carolina jobs are new to Boeing and not the relocation of work
previously done in Washington, Boeing says.
The company said that if it loses the NLRB case, it would be forced to
assemble those three planes in Washington, where it is set to assemble seven
787s per month.
The 2009 decision to open the 787 line in South Carolina came after an
aggressive campaign by workers in Washington's Puget Sound area to keep the
project there.
The IAM went on strike for 58 days in 2008 over a contract dispute. The
strike led to one of the costly delays that has put the 787 program over budget
and about three years behind schedule. Boeing also blames glitches in its global
supply chain for the delays.
The first 787, a lightweight, carbon-composite aircraft, is set for first
delivery in the third quarter of this year.
The NLRB and Boeing expect the first round of hearings before the
administrative law judge to take weeks or months. The losing side may then
appeal, first to the NLRB board, then to a federal court, and finally to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
The first several days of the hearing were expected to be largely procedural,
featuring no testimony.
J. Michael Luttig, Boeing's general counsel and a former appeals court judge,
has said he anticipates losing before an administrative law judge but prevailing
at the U.S. Court of Appeals.
------------------------------------------------
CNN reported that White House officials insist they are not involved in the dispute, noting that the NLRB is independent.
Still, some of President
Obama’s Democratic backers in the business community say the White House should
make it clear that Boeing and other U.S. firms have a right to build plants –
and create jobs – wherever they feel it makes the most business sense. Some
have told me that at least Boeing is not outsourcing the plant in another country
– as so many American manufacturing companies have done in recent years.
Boeing founded in 1916 by William E. Boeing in Seattle, Washington. Boeing has expanded over the years, Boeing is among the largest global aircraft manufacturers by revenue, orders and deliveries. No one is above the law which the Boeing is continue to fight according to the their property ownership where they want as property owner, the following property law describes more detail according to the property ownership by the law:
According to the Property Right, A property right is the exclusive authority to determine how a resource is used, whether that resource is owned by government or by individuals. All economic goods have a property rights attribute. This attribute has four broad components:
1.the right to use the good
2.the right to earn income from the good
3.the right to transfer the good to others
4.the right to enforcement of property rights.
The concept of property rights as used by economists and legal scholars (see property rights) are related but distinct. The distinction is largely seen in the economists' focus on the ability of an individual or collective to control the use of the good.
If they do not own the property, should not telling what to do with others' property. The rule of law is there to protect the citizens which the property ownership law is there to protect the owners who are supporting the economic and capital in U.S marketing system which our country relys on capital marketing. The Government, leaders, must obey the law even Everyone must follow the law which all people value the constitution. Each organization or business may have their own rule but, the constitution was written to protect the citizens in 1787 by Thomas Jefferson.
A rule of inapplicability to the states remained until 1868, when the Fourteenth Amendment was passed, which stated, in part, that:
“ No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
The constitution was written to protect the citizens which we must obey the law according to the constitution written and now we do have 27 amendments to follow.
The amendments that became the Bill of Rights were the last ten of the twelve
amendments proposed in 1789. The second of the twelve proposed amendments,
regarding the compensation of members of Congress, remained unratified until
1992, when the legislatures of enough states finally approved it; as a result,
after pending for two centuries, it became the Twenty-seventh
Amendment.
Fourth Amendment: guards against searches, arrests, and seizures of property without a specific warrant or a "probable cause" to believe a crime has been committed. Some rights to privacy have been inferred from this amendment and others by the Supreme Court..
Fifth Amendment: forbids trial for a major crime except after indictment by a grand jury; prohibits double jeopardy (repeated trials), except in certain very limited circumstances; forbids punishment without due process of law; and provides that an accused person may not be compelled to testify against himself (this is also known as "Taking the Fifth" or "Pleading the Fifth"). This is regarded as the "rights of the accused" amendment, otherwise known as the Miranda rights after the Supreme Court case. It also prohibits government from taking private property for public use without "just compensation", the basis of eminent domain in the United States.
Boeing attorney William Kilberg asked Judge Clifford H. Anderson to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that the move hadn’t taken any existing Union jobs away.
The NLRB has until next Tuesday to reply to Boeing's motion
to dismiss. Until then, the parties are meeting periodically to
discuss what documents need to be exchanged. Presentation of
evidence and arguments before the judge are not expected to
start for several weeks.
Neither Boeing nor the NLRB said what it was spending on
the litigation.
Lafe Solomon, the NLRB's acting general counsel, will
testify on Friday in South Carolina at a field hearing on the
complaint before the House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform. He had initially declined the request for
his testimony, citing the ongoing open case.
Boeing Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney has weighed in
on the complaint several times, saying the NLRB has overreached
its authority.
Some blogg says, Judge Anderson asked the NLRB to submit its response to Boeing’s
motion for dismissal a week from today, with Boeing’s rebuttal due June 24. Meanwhile, other media shows that The first several days of the hearing are likely to be
largely procedural, featuring no testimony.
The Boeing Company planned to have two different production facilities for 787 production line in Everett, WA which has a planned capacity of seven airplanes per month. Another production line in Charleston which will build three additional airplanes to reach total prodcution 10-per-month capacity plan. In addition, production of the new U.S. Air Force aerial refueling tanker which was contracted by Air Force in February 24th, 2011, continue to sustain and grow union jobs in Everett, too.
The Boeing Everett Factory, in Everett, Washington, is an airplane assembly building owned by Boeing. Boeing continues produce the products: 747s, 767s, 777s, and the 787 Dreamliner(Both South Carolina and Everett) in Everett Factory Pudget Sound in Washington.
Fox news special poll shows that the Boeing would win this case, which supported by the citizens:
Here is an another report shows to protect the property right and preserve Right To Work Law via CNBC youtube:
Most of the statistics and many citizens want to see good ethic and support the companies to grow. The constitutions should be able to help and support the property rights and capitalist and marketing economic system in the United States of America. The Union should be supporting the companies. Intimidation Tax payers will increase to choose other countries which will hurt the Union themself.
See the following via National Right To Work Legal Defense Foundation (1):
The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation is a charitable organization that provides free legal assistance to employees who claim that their civil rights have been violated by compulsory unionism. The Foundation was founded in 1968 and has represented 20,000 employees in over 2,200 cases, including 14 trips to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Here is an example case: Locke v. Karass, No. 07-610 (2008),is a court case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Constitution permits the local chapter of a labor union to charge a "service fee" to non-members to cover non-local litigation expenses if the expenses are "appropriately related to collective bargaining" and there is a reciprocal relationship between the local chapter and the national union. The case expanded on and clarified the earlier Lehnert v. Ferris Faculty Association, which permitted such service fees for non-political activities but did not reach a consensus on the question of whether "national" expenses were chargeable.(2)
The research and Government matrix shows that percentage of Americans who belong to labor unions has fallen dramatically in the past three decades, from 23% in 1980 to 11.9% in 2010, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Business owner should be able to create their businesses and buy their property where it's appropriate place by their research. Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production are privately owned and operated for profit.
Capitalism generally refers to an economic system in which the means of production are all or mostly privately owned and operated for profit, and in which investments, distribution, income, and pricing of goods and services are determined through the operation of a market economy. It is usually considered to involve the right of individuals and groups of individuals acting as "legal persons" orcorporations to trade capital goods, labor, land and money.Bill of Right, Amendment III describes that "No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law."
Also Amendment V describes "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use,without just compensation. AMENDMENT XIV
also shows that Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2.
Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified in July 9, 1868. (1)
Without the companies, there are no employees to join for their union therefore it is very important to working together and harmonize together for the communities and businesses and all.... There are benefits to the society when it's working together with companies and communities, meantime, people are putting their voice to consider their concerns. Some says that many companies are trying to going away their businesses to other countries which we do not want to see the tax payers reducing. See the following concerns via youtube .............
Last May 16, 2011,Freedom at Work reported that The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) disclosure request with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on the heels of the agency’s recent announcement that it will prosecute airline manufacturer Boeing Corp. (2)
Freedom at Work also The reported that South Carolina Workers Speak Out Against the NLRB's Attempt to Shut Down Boeing's Charleston Dreamliner Plant with that, the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation announced it was providing free legal aid to three South Carolina Boeing Employees, who are moving to intervene in a case brought by the Obama National Labor Relations Board and IAM union bosses that would to shut down production at Boeing's Charleston Dreamliner facility.
You will be able to see the link of the Foundation's motion to intervene includes statements from the three Boeing employees, who explain their negative experiences with IAM union officials and their reasons for speaking out against the NLRB's attempt to move production of the Boeing Dreamliner back to (non-Right to Work) Washington State.

Workers in education, training, and library occupations had the highest unionization rate at 37.1 percent.
Black workers were more likely to be union members than were White, Asian, or Hispanic workers.
Among states, New York had the highest union membership rate (24.2 percent) and North Carolina had the lowest rate (3.2 percent).
The union membership rate for public sector workers (36.2 percent) was substantially higher than the rate for private sector workers (6.9 percent).
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is backing up for Boeing's Right Protection. (3)
Pretty soon June 14, NLRB and Boeing will be hearing in Court in Seattle, WA. and on consecutive days thereafter until concluded, a hearing will be conducted before an Administrative Law Judge of the National Labor Relations Board. At the hearing, Respondent and any other party to this proceeding have the right to appear and present testimony regarding the allegations in this complaint.

Boeing: WTO Affirms Landmark Decision That European Subsidies To Airbus Are Illegal
-- Illegal European launch aid
and non-launch aid subsidies must end
-- Appellate ruling concludes the
WTO’s review, compliance must occur within 6 months
-- Ruling sets governing
standards for the global aerospace industry, ensures a fair and level playing
field for all companies and workers
CHICAGO, May 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The World Trade Organization’s
Appellate Body today confirmed that Airbus received $18 billion in illegal
“launch aid” and other subsidies from European governments.
“This is a clear, final win for fair trade that will level the playing field
for America’s aerospace workers,” said Jim McNerney, Boeing chairman, president
and chief executive officer. “The WTO has concluded that launch aid and other
illegal Airbus subsidies distorted the market, harmed U.S. industry and now must
end. The administration—particularly the Office of the U.S. Trade
Representative—and the Congress are to be commended for their long-standing
efforts in this case to enforce global trade rules. We join them in calling for
immediate compliance with this landmark ruling,” McNerney said.
“The WTO has rendered its final verdict, and now Europe must comply within 6
months,” said Boeing Executive Vice President and General Counsel J. Michael
Luttig.
Altogether, the WTO confirmed that Airbus received $18 billion in illegal
subsidies (principle amounts only). That includes $15 billion in launch aid,
including $4 billion for the A380, without which Airbus could not have developed
its fleet of airplanes. It also includes $3 billion in non-launch aid
subsidies, which alone exceeds the $2.7 billion of un-remedied U.S. subsidies to
Boeing (mainly NASA R&D spending) that the WTO identified in a separate
ruling in March and that currently is under appeal.
“Airbus and its government sponsors have tried to justify their illegal
subsidy practices by claiming that Boeing benefitted equally from government
R&D contracts,” Luttig said. “But the WTO in March categorically rejected
that argument, dismissing 80% of the EU’s claims against the United States and
confirming the huge competitive advantage Airbus has as a result of massive
illegal government subsidies.”
Luttig stressed that Europe’s obligations resulting from today’s decision do
not hinge on the ultimate WTO decision in the European case against the United
States.
“Europe must end all practices held illegal by today’s decision—particularly
launch aid; government loans for the A350 and future products must be on proven
commercial terms,” he said.
Luttig also answered recent calls by Europe for a negotiated settlement.
“I understand why Airbus and its sponsor governments now want to negotiate.
For 40 years they have relied on massive injections of launch aid, which today
were confirmed to be illegal. We’re not interested in a settlement that would
allow a continuation of illegal launch aid—the most pernicious,
market-distorting subsidy of all,” he said. “Airbus currently has more than $17
billion of cash on hand. It can well afford to bring itself into compliance with
the WTO ruling and thereafter develop airplanes without illegal aid from
European governments.”
“The WTO rules, combined with the ruling in this case, give clear guidance on
what governments can and cannot do to support their respective aerospace
industries. These rules will govern all market participants and help ensure that
competitions are won or lost based on the merits of the respective product
offerings rather than on government subsidies,” he said.
WTO (World Trade Organization), the Appellate Body on May 18th, 2011, upheld the Panel's finding that certain subsidies
provided by the European Union and certain Member state governments to Airbus
are incompatible with Article 5(c) of the SCM Agreement because they
have caused serious prejudice to the interests of the United States. The
principal subsidies covered by the ruling include financing arrangements (known
as “Launch Aid” or “Member state financing”) provided by France, Germany, Spain,
and the UK for the development of the A300, A310, A320, A330/A340, A330-200,
A340-500/600, and A380 LCA projects.
The ruling
also covers certain equity infusions provided by the French and German
governments to companies that formed part of the Airbus consortium.
Additionally, it covers certain infrastructure measures provided to Airbus, The Appellate
Body found that the effect of the subsidies was to displace exports of
Boeing single-aisle and twin-aisle LCA from the European Union, Chinese, and
Korean markets and Boeing single-aisle LCA from the Australian market.
Moreover, the Appellate Body confirmed the Panel's determination that the
subsidies caused Boeing to lose sales of LCA in the campaigns involving the
A320 A340 and A380 aircraft.
However, different reasons, the Appellate Body excluded certain measures from the scope of the finding of serious prejudice those included the civil aircraft research and development and aeronautics research programmes which means they cannot finger pointing each other about the research programmes although the European Union's unfair subsidies for Boeing must withdraw and prohibited subsidies within 90 days.
All of these recall back in 2005, April 11 that Senate approved to Senators (96) included U.S. Senators Patty Murray and Maria
Cantwell approved on the Senatefloor in April 11, 2005 on a resolution that
called on European governments to reject launch aid for Airbus and
supports the President's authority to take any
action necessary to protect American aerospace jobs. The
Senate voted on the resolution in April 11, 2005 (96 to 0)The result came out
positive.(6) (6.1). After 6 years of all of these, finally WTO ruled and grant the Boeing what it's needed.The following lists show that EU Launch Aid by Plane which the media explored over the years:
The following matrix show that the yearly orders for Boeing vs Airbus since 1989 to April/May for 2011.
The following matrix show that the yearly deliveries for Boeing vs Airbus since 1989 to April/May for 2011.
You can see the delivery trans has gone down since 2003 for Boeing.
The recent Boeing News shows that 737 production will be 40 a month in Renton, WA in the future, however,
the company, which now produces about 31 of the twin-engine planes monthly in Renton, already is committed to raising the pace to 35. Speaking of 737 production, see below for 737 vs A320 differences which show the lighter plan for Boeing which would make more fuel efficiency and reliable to fly....

"THE CAPITOL IN D.C: GOVERNMENT IS NOT INVOLVE WITH INDEPENDENT AGENCY LIKE "NLRB " The following script is part of the Office of the Press Secretary at The White House in May 11th, 2011. See the following detail in below (1)Q46

For
Immediate Release
May 11th, 2011
Press Briefing by Press
Secretary Jay Carney, 5/11/2011
12:20 P.M. EDT
Q Boeing CEO Jim McNerney, who chairs the President’s Export Council, said
the National Labor Relations Board suit against his company for building a plant
in a right-to-work state is a fundamental assault on capitalism. I’m wondering
is the President aware of the issue, and does he think the government should be
involved in how businesses allocate capital or resources?
MR.
CARNEY: Well, it’s obviously been in the news, so we are aware of it, but I
would refer any questions about it to the NLRB because it is an independent
agency, and we do not get involved in particular enforcement matters of
independent agencies.
Q The President has weighed in on outside
issues before, though. I mean is this something -- it’s also coming from
someone who is chairing the Export Council, who’s saying this is hurting job
creation.
MR. CARNEY: I don't have a reaction to this from the
President. And I think the fact that he’s weighed in on outside issues doesn't
mean that he will weigh in on an independent agency’s enforcement
action.
Source: White House -------------------------------
Speaking of Boeing, Boeing Chairman,The Boeing President and CEO Jim McNerney was appointed as a Chair, President’s Export Council since March 11, 2010 by President Obama.
Back in April, President and CEO Jim McNerney emphasized and urged the Administration and the Congress to work together as soon as possible for those pending for South Korea and Panama. These agreements will certainly benefit America's workers, companies, and communities, because they eliminate numerous impediments to the sale of U.S. goods and services in key markets and put us on a level playing field with competitors who already have such agreements in place. (2)
Surely, THE CAPITOL IN D.C: GOVERNMENT IS NOT INVOLVE
WITH INDEPENDENT AGENCY LIKE NLRB. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent agency of the United States government. Independent agencies of the United States federal government are those agencies that exist outside of the federal executive departments.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) administers the principal United States labor law, the National Labor Relations Act. The board is vested with the power to prevent or remedy unfair labor practices and to safeguard employees' rights to organize and determine through elections whether to have a union as their bargaining representative.
The NLRB is governed by a five-person board and a General Counsel, all of whom are appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate.
The Board's jurisdiction is limited to private sector employers and the United States Postal Service; other than Postal Service employees, it has no authority over labor relations disputes involving governmental, railroad and airline employees covered by the Adamson Railway Labor Act, or agricultural employees. On the other hand, in those parts of the private sector its jurisdictional standards are low enough to reach almost all employers whose business has any appreciable impact on interstate commerce.

The Boeing Company planned to have two different production facilities for 787 production line in Everett, WA which has a planned capacity of seven airplanes per month. Another production line in Charleston which will build three additional airplanes to reach total prodcution 10-per-month capacity plan. In addition, production of the new U.S. Air Force aerial refueling tanker which was contracted by Air Force in February 24th, 2011, will sustain and grow union jobs in Everett, too.
Those are clear statement which we all understood even the local Washingtonians.
The Boeing is going greener and Boeing is the world's leading aerospace company and the largest manufacturer of commercial jetliners and military aircraft combined. Additionally, Boeing designs and manufactures rotorcraft, electronic and defense systems, missiles, satellites, launch vehicles and advanced information and communication systems. Boeing Company is the largest exporter by value in the United States. Its stock is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.(3)
" UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS BY NLRB" A.G. Response to NLRB Concerning Secret Ballots
"secret ballot is a requisite for a free election"(1)

NLRB preventing media after their intimidation distributions (4)
Press release 2011, via Utah Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff, showing that MLRB was threatening to file lawsuits challenging to Utah constitutional provisions guaranteeing the secret ballot in elections for determination of employee representation that was "stipulate to the unconstitutionality" of those amendments which is unconstitution (1) according to the legislative and Federal Law. This rejection letter has been sent out to Mr. Solomon, back in January 27, 2011 respons letter requested to respect constitution how important to our democracy than preserving the right to vote by secret ballot and signed by as the follow:
Alan Wilson - Attorney General State of South Carolina Mark L. Shurtleff - Attorney General State of Utah Tom Horne - Attorney General State of Arizona Marty J. Jackley - Attorney General State of South Dakota(1a)
see more detail in below:
Many companies and hospital doctors are suffered and shut down because some cases (Ref. searches) by the unethical manerism like lawsuit is their goal to be set for some people's life and making money which is not Godly way of living and unethical way.
According to the New York Labor & Employment Law Report, dated December, 28, 2010, reported by Joseph Dole, the NLRB’s Acting General Counsel, Lafe E. Solomon, issued a memorandum to Regional Directors discussing other remedies they should seek in cases involving alleged employer unfair labor practices committedduring a union organizing campaign in additional to the NLRB’s renewed focus on remedies, including the use of federal court 10(j) injunction proceedings in cases involving discharges of union organizers.(2)
If any organization and or anybody did these actions, this is not respectful manner and only can be refered that propagating the situation before even anything happened for their nomination was given to them and that is not good citizenship action. It is already urging the community and society disrespectful manner. Those situation would make harming the society and community unorganized and madness order....and it is unconstitutional.
On the other side, the Senate rejected his nomination in February 2010. All 41 senators wrote a letter to President Obama respectfully in March 2010 that urging him not to give Mr. Becker a
recess appointment, which he did later that month, effectively circumventing
the will of the U.S. Senate. The Senate has been unacceptably denied the ability to exercise its
constitutional duty of advice and consent in regards to the NLRB.
In light of the NLRB's recent actions that would have a serious effect on
job creation and economic opportunity across the country, requested to hold
NLRB accountable and the legislative Law makers urged President Obama to withdraw both Mr. Solomon's and Mr. Becker's nominations to
their respective positions immediately. (3)
Meanwhile, MLRB intimidated and distributed to media and commercialized (via youtube) theirs (see youtube): "In repeated statements to employees and the media, company executives cited the unionized employees’ past strike activity and the possibility of strikes occurring sometime in the future as the overriding factors in deciding to locate the second line in the non-union facility.
" (4). Despite all of this, MLRB stated again "We hope all interested parties respect the legal process, rather than trying to litigate this case in the media and public arena.”In May 9th, 2011 release. (5) Which was not fair for viewers to see.
Many are requesting and support the innocent citizens and people who are unemployed also the communities are seeking to be handled accordingly. It is critical for green environment especially, the economic crisis to be recovered as soon as possible.....
Again, I would like to say again and again, Boeing Company fully committed to produce 787s – America's next great export – from both factories in both Puget Sound and South Carolina for decades to come. In addition, production of the new U.S. Air Force aerial refueling tanker which was contracted by Air Force in February 24th, 2011,sustain and grow union jobs in Everett, too. as what Boeing Company CEO and President, Jim McNerney says.....This is good for both states: Washington State and South Carolina even for all nation as recovery action....Even President Obama should know better than that.....for Green activities....
" NO STRIKE UNION WOULD GO GREEN " NLRB SHOULD PROCEED ECONOMIC RECOVERY FORWARD with "NO STRIKE UNION"
The Boeing Company planned to have two different production facilities for 787 production line in Everett, WA which has a planned capacity of seven airplanes per month. Another production line in Charleston which will build three additional airplanes to reach total prodcution 10-per-month capacity plan. In addition, production of the new U.S. Air Force aerial refueling tanker which was contracted by Air Force in February 24th, 2011, will sustain and grow union jobs in Everett, too.
Those are clear statement which we all understood even the local Washingtonians. Regardless all of these great production plan, assuming and intimidate the company which would harming the company, especially in the situation of economic crisis to recover.
The Federal Government is emphasizing the green eco environment, and urging recovery action via green action, now that Boeing is going forward for green activities, NLRB is appearing and intimidate and discouraging "going forward Green" To Making flip side, Good opportunity to talk about "Go Green" "No strike Union" which will gather more membership of union: "many are requesting no strike including the communities". Which is reminding last lay off in 2009 caused by strike and shut down facility with no production line for 58 days and panalty paying over million dollars per day, eventually non unions also goes out the door and hurt over 50,000 people for those of who got lay off after this strike. ....Is NRLB willing to take over the penalties
for over million dollars a day? The consequences of strike; namely, this kind of heavy loaded penalties (wasting Dollors from tax payers) of amendment
should be taken care: ....
Many companies are suffered by the strike or shuting down their company by the union even their own union families hurt their own family. The worst case media reported that some families eliminated themselves because no money to pay during their economic crisis and lay offs. This has to stop!! the strike have been hurting the companies, communities, nation wide and globally.
Union is to make better community and better society not hurting the environment. Many are agree to have union but, NO strike POLICY.
THE UNION WILL HAVE MORE MEMBERSHIP DUES TO COLLECT WITH NO SURPRISE with no strike policy. GO GREEN UNION AND NLRB: YOU should push for policy no strike union and make green environment. When Boeing and NLRB meeting on June 14, 2011, Wednesday in Seattle, they should talk about going green "no strike union" this will be a great opportunity to discuss going green forward and production will grow with no delay and no panalty and tax payers to pay Federal taxes on time.
Union can negotiate with no strike. The representatives are there to discuss their contract but should not be discouraged their company. This remind that Korean Women Association and their Union Team Service Employees International Union (SEIU) made great improvement with Korean Women's Association which would make the best example to follow their green action last year. They are agreed to have no strike but it's serving as union team for Employees International Union (SEIU) as a labor union representing about 1.8 million workers in over 100 occupations in the United States (including Puerto Rico), and Canada. SEIU is focused on organizing workers in three sectors: health care (over half of members work in the health care field), including hospital, home care and nursing home workers; public services (local and state government employees); and, property services (including janitors, security officers and food service workers).
"The NLRB is wrong and has far overreached its authority," McNerney wrote. "Its action is a fundamental assault on the capitalist principles that have sustained America's competitiveness since it became the world's largest economy nearly 140 years ago."
The United States of America economic system is capitalism and market driven economy system not the socialism and dictating. Should encourage to go forward system what would make it successful company. Again, I would like to say again and again, Boeing Company fully committed to produce 787s – America's next great export – from both factories in both Puget Sound and South Carolina for decades to come. In addition, production of the new U.S. Air Force aerial refueling tanker which was contracted by Air Force in February 24th, 2011,sustain and grow union jobs in Everett, too. as what Boeing Company CEO and President, Jim McNerney says.....
After all of this, NRLB would make sense to praise and support the Boeing going forward economic recovery action and to deliver......in order to increase their production with no delays and with no expensive panalties ...

Boeing to Fight NLRB Complaint Backed by Union
CHICAGO, April 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Boeing Company said it will vigorously contest a complaint brought before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) today by the leadership of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). The complaint challenges Boeing's 2009 decision to complement its production capacity in Washington state with a new assembly plant in South Carolina and seeks to force Boeing to place its second 787 final assembly line in Puget Sound instead of Charleston.
"This claim is legally frivolous and represents a radical departure from both NLRB and Supreme Court precedent," said Boeing Executive Vice President and General Counsel J. Michael Luttig. "Boeing has every right under both federal law and its collective bargaining agreement to build additional U.S. production capacity outside of the Puget Sound region."
Union officials have been pressing the NLRB for more than a year to bring forward the complaint and force Boeing to abandon plans to produce three 787 airplanes per month in the company's new North Charleston, S.C., factory and build them instead in Puget Sound. With today's action by the NLRB's acting general counsel, the board now will begin a formal proceeding to hear the IAM's allegations.
Boeing also was critical of the timing of the complaint, which comes a full 17 months after the company announced plans to expand its manufacturing capacity in the United States in South Carolina. Construction of the factory is nearly complete and the company has hired more than 1,000 new workers. Final assembly of the first airplane is slated to begin in July.
Boeing has made it clear that none of the production jobs created in South Carolina has come at the expense of jobs in Puget Sound and that not a single union member has been adversely affected. In fact, IAM employment in Puget Sound has increased by approximately 2,000 workers since the decision to expand in South Carolina was made in October 2009.
Prior to that decision, Boeing held extensive discussions with the IAM over the potential placement of the new 787 production capacity in Puget Sound. Those discussions ended with Boeing unable to reach agreement with union leadership on demands that would have hampered the company's competitiveness in the increasingly competitive global market for large commercial airplanes.
Luttig said Boeing was confident that the claim would be rejected by the federal courts. He also emphasized that the company will begin assembling 787s in South Carolina this summer, as planned. "We fully expect to complete our new state-of-the-art facility in South Carolina in the weeks ahead, and we will be producing 787s – America's next great export – from our factories in both Puget Sound and South Carolina for decades to come," he said.
Besides the Boeing Company still uses the Everett factory site actively on going project for both sites Everett and South Carolina site, on the other side, Boeing is going on Greener environment, too. On April 19th, 2011 Boeing News shows that South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G) announced an energy partnership that will enable Boeing South Carolina to operate as a 100 percent renewable energy site.
"This is an important announcement for Boeing and we're honored to share it
with South Carolina Electric & Gas," said Jim Albaugh, president and CEO of
Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Our 787 Dreamliner is manufactured using fewer
hazardous materials and designed to consume less fuel, and produce fewer
emissions. It only makes sense that our business operations in South Carolina
reflect the environmental progressiveness of the airplane we'll build here."
Renewable energy will be generated at the North Charleston site in part with thin-film solar laminate panels owned, installed and maintained by SCE&G on the new Boeing 787 Final Assembly building roof. This solar installation will provide up to 2.6 megawatts of electrical power for the site, enough to power approximately 250 homes. The installation will be the largest in the Southeast by production capacity, and the sixth largest in the U.S.
See below more detail via Boeing Flash:
The following Solar system was one of Solar Two’s heliostats, which directs sunlight onto a central receiver on top of a tower. Solar Two is a 10-MW solar thermal electric power plant located in Daggett, CA.
However the solar on November 25, 2009 the Solar Two tower was demolished The mothballed site was leveled and returned to vacant land by Southern California Edison. All heliostats and other hardware were removed.
Back in Aug. 28, 2006, Boeing has signed a contract to provide 600,000 solar concentrator cells to SolFocus,
Inc., a California-based renewable energy company that is developing renewable
terrestrial energy alternatives. With this renewable energy these cells produced for SolFocus are capable of generating more than 10 megawatts of electricity, or enough to power about 4,000 U.S. homes. With the average solar cell efficiency above 35 percent at concentration, Spectrolab's concentrator photovoltaic cells generate electricity at a rate that can be more economical than electricity generated from conventional, flat panel photovoltaic systems.
The Boeing 787 has not entered service. The first 787 is scheduled to enter
passenger service in 2011 with All Nippon
Airways. ILFC (International Lease
Finance Corporation) is its largest customer ordering a total of 74 Boeing 787s,
comprising 67 -8s and 7 -9s.
Boeing has stated that it is likely to develop another version, the longer 787-10, with seating capacity between 290 and 310. This proposed model is intended to compete with the planned Airbus A350-900. The 787-10 would supersede the 777-200ER in Boeing's current catalog and could also compete against the Airbus A330-300 and A340-300. Boeing was having discussions with potential customers about the 787-10 in 2006 and 2007. This variant has not yet been officially launched by Boeing, but Mike Bair, at that time head of the 787 program, stated that "It's not a matter of if, but when we are going to do it ... The 787-10 will be a stretched version of the 787-9 and sacrifice some range to add extra seat and cargo capacity." The 787-10 has remained under consideration by Boeing.
According to media, date is not confirmed yet, the Boeing expects to build a freighter version, possibly in 10 to 15 years. Boeing is reported to be also considering a 787 variant as a candidate to replace the 747-based VC-25 as Air Force One.
Boeing Company fully committed to produce 787s – America's next great export – from both factories in both Puget Sound and South Carolina for decades to come as what Boeing says.......
