Elections Have Consequences

The now biased NLRB (with the appointment of SEIU attorney Becker by Obama) has issued a complaint against Boeing for their decision to start a new production line in South Carolina.  The accusation is that the decision is “discriminatory” and based on recent strike activities by the Washington Boeing employees.  Two years ago Senator Clyburn from SC was thrilled about the new jobs going to SC, but now he is receiving presure from the Democrats to change his position.  This is the kind of meddling and high stakes pressure games that the Obama administration and their union growth arm of the NLRB are playing which hurts our nation.  It will be interesting to see and hear the communications from Boeing CEO McNerney.  The Governor of SC is speaking out forcefully against this assault.  The Republicans have talked about reducing the NLRB budget by one third; and now some are thinking a total structural change is in order.   By making the NLRB more like the bankruptcy courts it could avoid the ideology swings.  NLRB Acting GC and Becker are both past AFL-CIO and SEIU attorneys.  They vowed to not be involved with any issues that involved their past employers.  Well that worked out nicely.  Anyway . . . . elections have consequences . . . . .
