This ham handed union toadying At least it removes doubt about who owns the oval office these days

This complaint filing could have a negative in FL as well. Gov. Scott is attempting to attract more business here since we are a right-to-work state as well.

Unions had their role in the past, now they must go. They are creating more problems then solving them.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I don't see how building a plant in South Carolina is any different than building one in Mexico as far as the union workers in Seattle are concerned.

But to drag Obama into it is assinine. Believe it or not , there are some things that happen that you don't agree with that have nothing to do with Obama. If it's rainning and you can't go jumping, Obama was fucking with the weather. Obama was not the 22nd hijacker, he did not lead the mob into the American Emabssy in Tehran and he wasn't the shooter on the grassy knoll.

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

Who honestly believes that the NLRB has a legitimate complaint?

Could you expand on that a bit?

Gotta love lawyers.

Boeing executives apparently made (and had documented) a number of comments saying that they'd build their next plant somewhere with no unions to avoid all the hassles with the (strike-prone) Seattle unions.

Then they did so.

Unfortunately, it's against the law to retaliate against employees for striking. That's the crux of the complaint, and since documentation was provided, it was kind of open and shut.

Had the execs been smarter, or had they had a process for selecting the plant that involved employees, it probably would have flown with no problem -- companies do that all the time.

The fact that the union in this plant is a pain in the ass is irrelevant if the law is that way. Personally, I wish that the execs had been smarter and not run off at the mouth.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Thank you Wendy for the voice of reason. I agree. (and I certainly do not favour unions.)

Only valid if unions were illegal or banned in SC-they're not, they're just not mandatory. It's a personal touch state-back when, I've stepped out to the parking lot with a supervisor to 'negotiate' over some work issue. WE usually came to terms.

We're not talking valid, we're talking legal -- two entirely different things sometimes

They said they'd build in a right-to-work state to punish, and they did.

The biggest issue with this sort of law is it just encourages companies to just go overseas even more. Had they threatened and done that, there's nothing that the unions or our government could do.

Unions had their uses but then just got too greedy and prior to being a global economy, they could get away with it. Those days are long past...

With the decline of unions, so has the median income of middle class Americans.
