Sticking it to the NLRB

"North Carolina, a right-to-work state like South Carolina, could have found itself in exactly the same position if Boeing had chosen, say, Greensboro rather than Charleston to open a new production facility. Yet only two North Carolina Democrats, Heath Shuler and Mike McIntyre, voted for this bill.


Brad Miller, Mel Watt, David Price, Larry Kissell and G.K. Butterfield opposed it. That means they would not object if the NLRB took similar action to block a company from locating in North Carolina because of our state's more business-friendly labor climate."



The U.S. House of Representatives struck a well-warranted blow at the National Labor Relations Board today, passing H.R. 2587.


It would stop the NLRB from dictating where a company could or could not conduct business operations.

The action responds to the NLRB's effort to shut down a Boeing production line in North Charleston, S.C., and force it to move to Washington state. The NLRB contends Boeing opened its plant in South Carolina to retaliate against unions, which had orchestrated several strikes in recent years at Seattle-area Boeing installations.
