The International Association of Machinists’ (IAM) petition to represent Boeing’s South Carolina employees has been granted an election date. That vote will take place on February 15. Currently, unions only represent 2.9% of South Carolina’s workforce, and Boeing South Carolina’s general manager has spoken out against this move, stating that “The Company achieved an impressive list of accomplishments without the IAM. A union is not in the best interests of our teammates, their families, and the state of South Carolina.”
