History

Historical Context

After Boeing announced a $1.5 billion expansion of its 787 final-assembly line in South Carolina in 2008—backed by Governor Mark Sanford and Senator Lindsey Graham—the company faced a 2008 machinists strike and low-unionization (2.7 %). Limited production began in July 2011, and in 2020 Boeing consolidated all 787 assembly at the plant, reflecting a decade-long shift toward federal incentives and political support for aerospace manufacturing.
