Companies like these die a slow death when they hook up with these stiffs. The unions at Winchester never allowed this, 100 year old +, firearms manufacturer to fully modernize. They closed up and reopened here under license with F and N Manf. What disturbs me is that Boeing is coming here with only lease agreements. They are renters until they get a foothold. I hope it works for them as well as SC. Folks in southern California brag about how much the corporations there pay their employees and here in SC the companies brag about how little they pay their employees. So, basically we are couple of pay scales above China. However, any job is better than no job. Wonder how many South Carolinians will get hired? There will be 50,000+ applications coming in from all over the nation. Maybe Boeing should get additional incentives for each SC resident they hire. Full throttle to the wall… By SnakeMD on October 29th, 2009 at 7:19 pm

I'm fairly certain that not all of the 3800 projected employees will come out of the Ashley-Cooper basin and elsewhere in SC. Are there enough employees in the state with the skill sets needed by Boeing in this plant? What is the break down of the prior residences for workers in the other aircraft manufacturing plants n North Charleston that are up and running now? Was training required to get these employees up to Boeing standards. I expect that many will be relocating from the Seattle area along with their own ideas that are somewhat foreign to SC's way of just pissing along. Like providing a quality education to our children. Sure don't want an untrained riveter assembling an aircraft that I will be flying in. “How many are coming?” I’m fairly certain that not all of the 3800 projected employees will come out of the Ashley-Cooper basin and elsewhere in SC.

Where would we find that? Does anyone really believe that the powers that be did anything more than give up what they had to to land Boeing? Hell, maybe I can sell that empty house I have to one of their executives. Anyone know how many are coming?

The state of South Carolina and local governments in the Charleston area are going to be putting out a lot of money for many kinds of infrastructure, from roads to schools, before Boeing starts paying off that investment. We have already invested a lot of public money in tech schools, harbor development, and so forth to attract businesses like this one. Presumably the deal with eventually be good for everyone, but without that government-funded investment, they wouldn't be coming here. The notion that this is a triumph of the unfettered "free market" is absurd. This is a fine example of the need for both strong government and strong private input to maintain a 21st century society.
