Though workers in South Carolina’s new Boeing Company plant recently booted out union bosses trying to organize them, local representatives from the International Association of Machinists (IAM) still linger around Charleston. (more)

Adam Smith described an “invisible hand” that, in a free market economy, fosters growth based on competition, supply and demand, and private decision-making. But the economy produces winners and losers, and given the latest jobs report — indicating unemployment surged to 9.2 percent last month — the U.S. needs more winners: companies making smart investment decisions, producing things more people want, and providing more jobs for American employees. (more)

The reliably liberal Washington Post editorial board ripped President Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for its campaign against the Boeing Company in its Sunday column. The NLRB is trying to force Boeing to move a plant it recently built in South Carolina to Washington State. One of the many reasons Boeing says it built the plant in South Carolina, instead of its current base of operations in Washington State, is because recent machinists union strikes caused disruptions with workflow and productivity. (more)

Over the last few weeks, much attention has been focused on the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) decision to issue a complaint against Boeing for constructing a facility in South Carolina, a right-to-work state. The alarming overreach by the NLRB has shed light on the role of regulatory agencies in government and their affect on the economy. (more)

The recent lawsuits filed by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against Arizona and South Dakota are an attack by the federal government on states that adopt laws that are consistent with federal law but inconsistent with the views of the current NLRB political leadership. With the exception of its lone Republican, Brian Hayes, the board’s political appointees seek to promote the interests of organized labor without regard to legitimate managerial interests, as amply demonstrated by the recently filed complaint against Boeing, but also without regard to employee rights. (more)

There are many reasons why individuals choose to go into business in this country. We are blessed to have many freedoms here, including the ability to choose in which state to operate our businesses.

Graham also asked the president to publicly state if he agrees with his chief of staff’s and Export Council head’s private sector business decisions. If Obama doesn’t publicly state that, Daley’s and McNerney’s actions at Boeing could be viewed as a “violation of the law” if the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) succeeds in its complaints against Boeing according to Graham. Graham added that an NLRB victory would mean Obama hires “union-busters” in his White House. (more)
