In an outrageous move, the National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint against Boeing that demands the company move its South Carolina 787assembly line back to Washington under union jurisdiction.
Feds Accuse Boeing of Retaliating Against Union in 787 Decision AP, April 21, 2011
The NRLB appears miffed that Boeing executives don’t like strikes happening every three to four years in Puget Sound or that one reason for moving to South Carolina was to reduce Boeing's vulnerability to delivery disruptions caused by work stoppages. Those morons seem to think that gives them authority to mandate where a company builds its products.
Boeing has every right under both federal law and its collective bargaining agreement to build additional U.S. production capacity outside of the Puget Sound region, said the Boeing General Counsel.
Senator Lindsey Graham said the NLRB complaint, if successful, would give unions a virtual veto over business decisions. "Left to their own devices, the NLRB would routinely punish right-to-work states that value and promote their pro-business climates," he said.
It’s a cynical political move with no chance of success but it will cost Boeing a lot of money and some disruption. Congress should take the opportunity to clip NRLB wings and Boeing should resolve to move vastly more operations away from union states.
Most importantly, this President has to go. We cannot tolerate every aspect of government bureaucracy being run by radicals.
