Machinists blog about Hawker Beechcraft

The Machinists union has launched a blog called “Project Pelican: Kansas Jobs Flying South,” about Hawker Beechcraft’s plant in Mexico. The blog is part of the union’s protest of a Hawker Beechcraft internal document, which describes six phases of growth for the Chihuahua, Mexico, facility over the next several years. The plant opened in October. The company says it continually performs analysis but doesn’t always go forward with the plans.
