SEATTLE - Boeing is encouraging its suppliers to attend a workshop next month in Chicago to learn how to outsource business to Mexico.

The Seattle Times reports that a company official wrote a letter to suppliers of the aerospace company asking them to attend the Nov. 15 workshop.

Tom Wroblewski is president of District 751 of the International Association of Machinists. He says outsourcing work hurts efforts to build the domestic labor force and that his union plans to raise the issue with Boeing.

Boeing spokesman Larry Wilson says "it's a matter of routine business" to keep the company's suppliers informed of opportunities to expand their capacity around the world.
