Morning Discussion: Post-It From America
by Alice O'Connor, Sep 10, 2009 7:00am PDTMy American adventure is drawing to a close and I must say I'm going to miss you, young man. You're the progeny I shall never understand but you're alright in my book. We should see more of each other.
Having received a dose of the Virginia suburb experience, I would rather like to take similar jaunts to other parts of your mahoosive and diverse land. Downtown Salt Lake City, a tiny apartment in San Francisco, a bungalow in a one-stoplight Minnesota town, out in the New Mexico sticks... not chasing sights and attractions but simply enjoying a snifter of life. Take care, have fun, be good and don't be a stranger.
Workers at Boeing's Charleston plant vote out union

It could simply be an overthrow of poor representation, shitty union benefits, or even one asshole in the machinist's union.
Hopefully the workers will argue for themselves and Boeing can come to a good contract for both sides, but, honestly, under 500 person operations that self manage are where some unions can still do some good in this country. It's the unions that get big that start to bloat and take on self interest of the union over the workers and the companies.
