A Tale of Two Manufacturers
A Tale of Two Manufacturers:
In the year 2011 two major aircraft manufacturers have made major headlines. Boeing opened a NEW manufacturing plant in the US in June of 2011. The $750 million facility, which finished construction six months ahead of schedule, features 642,720 square feet (roughly 10 football fields) of space and will produce three 787 Dreamliners per month. Over 9,000 American jobs were created during the construction phase alone, and thousands more have been created to produce
the 36 annual new Dreamliner planes.
On the other hand G.E. has just inked a deal to partner with a State Owned firm in Communist China to build planes together in China that will directly compete with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s. This agreement includes the sharing of technology with the Chinese Government owned firm. Among the technologies it will share with the Chinese firm under the agreement is the same airplane electronics technology used in Boeing’s new high-tech 787 Dreamliner aircraft. General Electric is a fixture in American corporate culture and was once a symbol of American ingenuity. Formed in 1890 by Thomas Edison as Edison General Electric, the GE name was a symbol of the spirit of the American Capitalist society. Now the same company is assisting China in the pilfering not only of American jobs but also helping them to rip off American technology that may one day be used to build fighter jets and other weapons systems to threaten the United States and the rest of the free world.
The US government seems to agree that one of these companies should be punished, while the CEO of the other company is held in high esteem as a leader in creating American jobs. The shocking problem is WHICH company the government is punishing and which CEO is being praised by the Obama Administration.
The National Labor Relations Board and arm of the Obama Administration decided earlier this year to sue Boeing for building its factory in South Carolina instead of Washington State where it’s other facility is located, because the South Carolina is a “right to work” state, meaning the labor unions are far less powerful. While alleging that the South Carolina location was selected in retaliation for previous union strikes on the Washington location, Boeing did not close its Washington facility or reduce production. They merely chose to expand in a state more hospitable to business and less risky to the bottom line, while still keeping the jobs in the USA. On the other hand, the CEO of GE Jeffery Imelt was chosen in January of this year to head President Obama’s council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
How is it that the Obama administration can continue to champion a CEO that sells out the United States to China on so many levels in the name of corporate greed, while persecuting another company for merely choosing the state that the company feels is most business friendly?
Does the president think that Big Labor and Communism are a better fit than American Capitalism? Mr. President, your actions speak volumes over your words.
