I would agree with you. The problem you would have is that as soon as you tried to do those things, and they are exactly what is needed to bring the company around, you would be facing endless lawsuits, which you would most likely lose. Boeing, tried to build a plant in a right to work state, and the union members in Seattle were able to stop it from doing so, the the union got the backing of the government. Most likely the trademarks will go to Bimba in Mexico, the plants will close, and 18,000 union members will lose their jobs. That's the part that doesn't bother me. They did it to themselves.

Actually, it was a complete liquidation. All assets are liquidated including labor and contracts, the Boeing problem was that the labor board got involved and stopped them using their current holdings. New ownership means a new start legally, it doesn't mean the unions wouldn't try to get in the middle, but they wouldn't have much standing.

I understand the situation. I just can't see the current administration allowing the demise of union jobs to be replaced with non union jobs.
