The following documents were found by the Union in their lawsuit against Boeing. http://www.iam751.org/nlrb/Gemini.pdf One of the things this revealed is th at Boeing *knew* it was going to lose money by moving part of production to S. Carolina. Not only did it cost more to set up the new production line in a new place than adding a second line to an existing plant, but they knew there was huge risk of missing deadlines and lowering quality and losing money from that. They were able to put huge dollar figures to those costs, much larger than any projected labor savings. On the pro side in that document they simply mention greater bargaining power against the union. To this they were able to put no number. But in the end that unknown long term dollar benefit outweighed costs.
