In Shot Heard Around Business World, Obama’s Labor Board Issues Complaint Against Boeing

Boeing Aircraft

Not only does Boeing have to compete with other aircraft companies but they must fight battles with workers unions that think they are running the company. If the unions managed the company everything would be biased toward the unions. That is not the most profitable approach for the company and the company management have the fiduciary responsibility to make profits for the stock holders.

Obama's unconditional support of unions has no bounds. He is raising a complaint that work product was moved from union site to a non-union site. The complaint is the company has no right to discriminate against union workers, and Boeing was executing discriminatory practices against union workers.

Lets think about this for a second:

• company management has a right to schedule what ever work teams are on a particular product. It's called project management and everybody does it, all the time, everywhere in America and around the world.
• project management has the responsibility to produce cost effective products that are profitable
• non-union workers cost less compensation than union workers. So it's more cost effective to use the non-union workers. Now if the unions hadn't pumped up their compensation to such high costs well then it would be cost effective to use unions. But unions have greedily and selfishly collective bargained themselves out of their own jobs. They are too expensive to hire.
• Unions  should not have power to say where and to whom work is scheduled. You know why? Because unions would always select union shops and therefore would be discriminating against the non-union workers. They would be guilty of exactly what Obama is charging Boeing is guilty of. Choosing one work shop over another. Thats what management does. They select the projects and the workers on those selected projects.
• All the unions can do is collective bargain for compensation, entitlements, and benefits. They've done plenty of coercive bargaining forcing  companies to pay unions too much and the company is not free to hire or fire workers as it sees fit.
• so either unions take a pay cut or benefit cut, or more and more projects are going to go to non-union workers 
• Conclusion? this is the classic company busting by the union and union busting by the company. Through coercion, extortion, and entitlement demands. But Unions have greedily and selfishly fought for better and better compensation  and this has come at a cost to the unions. Union compensation is through the roof and most companies realize they promised too much to the unions at the financial peril of the company. Unfortunately, instead of partnership and cooperation between companies and their unions we are seeing excessive inflexible demands on both sides jeopardize the solvency and future of the company.
