South Carolina: Worker alleges union complaint is retaliation
The News Tribune Online, 6/17/2011
A worker who led the successful campaign to decertify the
Machinists Union in Boeing’s South Carolina plants has filed an
unfair-labor-practice charge against the union.
Dennis Murray, aided by the National Right to Work Legal
Defense Foundation, contends that the union’s own complaint against Boeing about
locating a new 787 Dreamliner assembly line in North Charleston, S.C., is itself
retaliation against him and workers who voted against union representation
there.

Herman Cain: Obama’s NLRB ‘A Direct Assault on the Free Market System’
Publius Forum Online,6/16/2011
“What’s at stake is a direct assault on the free market
system,” Cain said. “What the National Relations Labor Board is doing is an
attack on free enterprise and that is exactly what we don’t need. I hope that
Boeing hangs in there and they do fight it all the way to the Supreme Court if
that’s what they have to do.”
Cain echoed what he said on the state of the recent
Republican debate on the charge that he is and the other GOP candidates are
anti-union. “I am pro workers and I am pro right to work,” he told Fox Business
Network. “I am pro free market. They are trying to bring states and businesses
down. I don’t agree with it and most of the American people, they don’t agree
with it either.”
