Boeing South Carolina workers began casting secret ballots on whether to unionize under the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers at 5 a.m. Wednesday.
The vote is being held under the oversight of the National Labor Relations Board and 3,000 employees are eligible to have their say.
Many advertisements have been run from both sides on the subject.
Proponents say employees would get respect on the job, better wages and consistency in unionizing.
"Workers at Boeing deserve to be treated fairly and they deserve to be treated with respect," Lead IAM organizer Mike Evans said when he announced the vote last month. "Over the past year and a half, management at Boeing has repeatedly failed to make improvements they promised workers. Instead, workplace policies remain inconsistent and raises remain subjective. Boeing workers deserve better than that."

The workers in Mississippi don't want a union

Think Bernie gives a shite if the factory closes?
He doesn't work there.

As a resident of Madison, I find this most hilarious.
The overwhelming majority of Nissan workers love it and are not interested in unionizing. There's a few workers stirred up because they think it will line their pockets.
This has to be the 10th time Danny Glover has been here
This. The UAW has been trying to unionize that plant and any other southern auto plant for the last 20 years with only a small maintenance unit at VW in Chattanooga to show for it. Most Southern workers remember the screw job they got when the textile mills closed left their mommas, daddies, and grandparents scrounging on welfare. Unions are straight bullshite these days.
Just basically handing money to a bunch of democrat political operatives for them to skim from before they hand it to politicians who then enact policies that cost these folks their jobs. It's fricking workplace suicide.

They saw the value in providing a decent wage with a pension for doing a shitty, mundane, repetitive job at a factory. Then somewhere along the way greed became a virtue, and treating them like a number instead of a human being became the norm.
Likely coincided with the realization by shareholders that it is less expensive and more productive to have robots bolt on auto parts than it is to pay a lazy whiny arse UAW member $75 per hour wage and benefits to do it 6.5 hours per day. Robots work 24/7 baby.

My dad was a union guy in the South, and I remember the hardship our family felt in the mid-80's when Republicans started their war on unions.

Management always likes to scare the workers every time the word union gets mentioned....dirty secret is that overall, management in most big operations could not care all that much
Some of the ones who have had cozy co-dependent relationships with unions don't care that much - like the Detroit automakers and their suppliers. But they caved to union demands to hard and had to be bailed out of their dumbass bargaining agreements by all of us. Which was total bullshite, they made the bad contracts, not sure why we all had to pay for it. They should have gone bankrupt and come out the other end stronger with no union.

They are engaging in what I can only describe as general social justice activism untethered to the environment. I suspect it will be the downfall of their organization.
That is the story of the entire leftist cult. They have no mission or ideals other than consolidation of power for power's sake. It's fricking scary.

If he was a "union guy" as in a paid union organizer I can see how that would be. If he was just a regular joe union member not sure how he would be hurt by Reagan kicking the union in the arse.

Just a regular Joe union member.
I didn't say he was hurt. I said it hurt our family. Wages frozen, change in health insurance shifting some costs to him, rotating shifts instead of a fixed schedule, etc.

Why does anyone care what Bernie Sanders thinks about anything?

That had nothing to do with Reagan. Had to do with the shitty union taking dues money then not effectively bargaining for its members. Like always.
