The NLRB’s Kangaroo Court & Boeing Employees’ ‘Insurance’ Option…
redstate.com, 6/14/2011
While the National Right to Work Foundation, which is
providing free legal assistance to Boeing’s Charleston employees, has said it
would appeal, there is another tact that the employees could take that will
place them squarely in the middle.
As noted previously, Boeing’s Charleston employees were
previously unionized by the International Association of Machinists. When,
Boeing bought the Charleston facility from Vought in 2009, the employees in
Charleston exercised their legal rights to decertify the union. A few months
after that, Boeing chose the South Carolina for its second assembly line and, in
March 2010, the Machinists filed its charges against Boeing over its decision.

Pawlenty described the unions positions as forcing people
to be a member of a group, something the government should not be condoning. He
pledged his support for national right to work legislation, adding that
“government shouldn’t tell us what we should do; we should tell the government
what to do.â€
Support Right to Work legislation

Unions are the largest contributors to the Democratic
party, and no Democrat voted for the RTW bill when it passed. Regrettable, but
predictable. But why did District 13 representatives Lee and Matt Quandt join
Rep. Copeland to vote against the RTW legislation, when all are listed as
Republicans and have pledged to do what’s best for all of their constituents?
They have time to reconsider their votes and support overriding the governor’s
veto, just as voters will have a chance to reconsider who we choose to represent
us in the future.
Graham vows to delay obama pick over boeing
Island Packet Online, 6/13/2011
Graham said he is asking Obama to stand up for the men and
the company they represent.
“Tell the country we think Boeing’s a good, ethical company
and they’ve done nothing wrong,” Graham said.
Until Obama shows his support for Boeing and against what
Graham called a “frivolous complaint,” Graham said he would put a hold on
Bryson’s confirmation.
Graham said that though the president can’t take sides in
the complaint, he could stick up for Boeing as an ethical company.
