I don't know where to attach this comment.

This isn't about PE juicing the company and doing layoffs.

This is about transplanting and nurturing a lucrative industry into a former Petro state.

This is sowing the seeds of a prosperous, post-oil world. It's an investment in the future as the world is changing.

This will look more like Lenovo and Thinkpad North Carolina than a PE shake down and gutting.

The jobs will not evaporate, but they will absolutely start cross-training engineers in the Middle East and building up new talent there.

If this is what the union fears, this is the moment to negotiate safeguards.
