'The contest unfolded in a mere matter of weeks after a machinists' union in Washington state rejected Boeing's proposed contract for the 777X because it would have replaced their traditional pension with a defined-contribution savings plan. The Chicago-based company said it would look elsewhere and gave states until Tuesday to submit proposals. Winners will be announced early next year.'
'The Boeing buzz has been loudest in Missouri, where Gov. Jay Nixon immediately convened a special legislative session to approve an incentive package valued at up to $1.7 billion over more than two decades.'
'This time, Gov. Robert Bentley is stressing more than just financial incentives. He's tapping into Boeing's recent union frustrations by highlighting that Alabama is a "right-to-work" state, where union fees cannot be a condition of employment.'
