The unions and the Obama Administration are  suing because they say Boeing is retaliating against the unions in Washington state.

It was so heartwarming, just thinking about how wonderful and awesome that idea was. They were such a patriotic company after the economic crash, picking up the American flag off the ground and being brave enough to AGAIN outsource 5,000 MORE jobs to India---All while simultaneously begging the government for stimulus money. It really tugged at my heart-strings!
