Hawker Beechcraft and The Union
The above link will take you to an article in the Wichita Eagle. It has to do with an aircraft manufacturer possibly leaving town. One that has been there since the beginning.
Just two years ago, I went to work there. It was just after a strike by the IAM&AW employees.
Seems that unions and their members are now in the position of having to make concessions. Ones that would be very significant, like keeping the company they work for in town.

Unions seem to be morphing into lemmings. Rather than preserve their jobs, they'll surge over the cliffs and drown rather than concede anything at the bargaining table.
And the ones in the aircraft plants are probably going to be out front.
When I got laid off at Learjet in '04, I went on to something completely different, the ballast trains with Herzog. And finally got on at Edwards with the AF civil service last year after getting it at Hawker Beechcraft.
There is a large percentage of them who refuse to think of other possibilities. And, frankly, it is quite sad.
