Boeing's Dreamliner workers in South Carolina head toward union vote for second time in two years

Machinists and other workers at Boeing's 787 Dreamliner facilities in South Carolina appear set to hold a vote on whether to join the International Association of Machinists in the next few weeks..

The IAM said in a news release Thursday it will hold a news conference Friday morning, where IAM leaders will make what they called a "major announcement about the ongoing organizing campaign to secure collective bargaining rights for workers at Boeing’s North Charleston operation."

The IAM said other labor and community groups that are supporting the Boeing workers efforts to form a union also will attend. They are expected to reveal they've filed a petition to hold a union election at the South Carolina Boeing facilities.

The IAM District 751 already represents thousands of Boeing (NYSE: BA) machinists in the Puget Sound region.
