Boeing officially opens South Carolina second B787 assembly line

Boeing officially opened its South Carolina B787 second assembly line on Friday, to the background of more controversy over its relationship with unions. Later this week, US National Labour Relations Board will begin hearings against the US manufacturer, claiming the company specifically cited the new plant in South Carolina as retaliation against union unrest in Washington State. South Carolina is one of the 22 US states with right-to-work legislation, forbidding compulsory unionisation of its workforce.
