Jones said the complaint had no effect on relations between Boeing staff in Washington State and in South Carolina. "They are right there with us. They are our partners," Jones said. "The NLRB could not be here with us today," Graham told the crowd to hoots and cheers. "That means a good decision on their part. The only one I can remember lately." He told the workers: "You have made the state shine. You have put us on the map of the world economy." "Let's make this very clear. It has been a long two and a half years," Haley told the crowd. "Everybody is going to be talking about Boeing. They are going to be talking about it across the country. They are going to be talking about it across the world. They are going to be talking about how we built the most efficient plane in the state of South Carolina." Michael Hargrove, a fabrication specialist who works on the composites building the aft end of the 787s, was working with an automotive manufacturer when he got laid off and started working for Boeing. He went to school and got his associate's degree in aircraft technology at Trident Technical College. The plant, he said, "is a great thing. It's good for our economy."
