    Workers rally as Boeing board meets in Wichita By ROXANA HEGEMAN, AP
    A loud rally by workers in front of the administration building while the top brass was in town was obviously not on the company's "to do" list. Boeing tried to shut down the rally, saying it was disruptive to people inside the building. Sheriff's deputies and company security asked participating employees to move off company property.

    So union leaders relocated the rally from the Boeing flagpole — the usual site of more acrimonious labor rallies in the past — to the public sidewalks in front of the administration building.

    Sheriff's deputies eventually blocked off a lane of traffic after cars whizzed just inches away from the demonstrators.
