Labor Board Tells Boeing New Factory Breaks Law (Page 3)

I am an intern at a supplier for Boeing currently. And we are union. And many of the experiences I have had are very much negatives, with regards to unions.

My experiences to date:

1. I have been yelled at for helping an operator assemble a non-production part (Government research that will never be put into an aircraft). Mind you, not actually laying down the carbon fiber or cutting something, just handing an operator a silicone tool.
2. Our labor costs are higher, and we have lost bids for parts on that alone.
3. The union protects operators who are terrible workers. We have some very old operators (70+) who are do almost no work, yet are paid the highest because they have the most seniority. Also, we have a couple that have sued the company 5+ times, manage to do next no work, and are still paid employees because the union fought for them. I will admit that most of the operators are great workers, but some have told me they don't care too much for unions. One operator I worked with told me "some people around here need to be fired for their own good".
