Obama's NLRB Bursts Its Bounds with Boeing

The following news item appeared in American Thinker:

From the Chicago Tribune editorial page we read:

This week, the National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint over Boeing's plans to open a plant in South Carolina. It plans to open a second production line of its 787 Dreamliner plane there. The plant has been built.

Boeing executives have acknowledged that they were reluctant to expand in Washington state because of the risk of a labor strike. Boeing's workers in Washington belong to the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. Its plant in South Carolina would be nonunion.

Boeing is not being alarmist. Workers in Washington went on strike for nearly two months in 2008. The company said it couldn't reach a deal with the union to expand operations at Puget Sound, Wash., for the Dreamliner.

Seizing on the words of Boeing executives, the NLRB inferred that the decision to choose South Carolina was retaliation against the union. The labor board demands that Boeing open the second production line in Washington. [Emphasis added]

Next time you want to tell someone else how to live, what their water usage, electricity usage, public dress and actions should be, how to think, etc., make sure you have gone to the mirror and admitted you are a closet communist.
Sitting around waiting for theirs. Everyone has gotten used to there "being a law!". Remember when people used to say, when something went wrong and someone got screwed, "There oughtta be a law!" Well, we got laws, from Unions, Government agencies of all types, local governments and ngo's, you name it. All without the seperation of powers.
