Last week I brought up the ruling by an NLRB functionary that Boeing was in violation of federal law by investing in a new factory in South Carolina. Allegedly, the company didn’t bargain “in good faith” with the union that wanted to keep all Boeing’s work under its heel in Washington state.
Today’s WSJ has a good letter on this from a fellow in Winston-Salem.

NLRB Shows Anti-Business Animus in Boeing CaseRegarding your editorial “The Death of Right to Work” (April 21): President Obama’s 2012 re-election prospects are heavily dependent on support from organized labor, so last-minute legal maneuvering by the National Labor Relations Board to block Boeing’s imminent expansion into South Carolina should come as no surprise. Boeing announced its plan to build a new plant in South Carolina, a right-to-work state, nearly two years ago. After sitting on the sidelines while Boeing invested $2 billion in a new plant and planned to hire 1,000 new workers, the NLRB suddenly determined that Boeing acted out of anti-union animus. Democrats desperately need union votes and organizing skills next year. They don’t need Boeing, or for that matter, South Carolina. Perry Scott Winston-Salem, N.C. |
