Boeing slams NLRB over law-inventing

Boeing headquarters, Chicago

Boeing, in a letter filed last month, rips the National Labor Relations Board over its law-inventing. I touched on this letter earlier today.

From AP:

Boeing Co. is accusing federal labor regulators of unfairly twisting or misquoting statements by company executives to make a case that the company illegally retaliated against union workers.

In a letter, the company urges the National Labor Relations Board to withdraw a complaint "based upon these misstatements" that accuses Boeing of locating a new plant in South Carolina in part to avoid future labor disruptions in Washington state.

"You have a responsibility to correct these misquotations and mischaracterizations, for the public record and also for purposes of the complaint you have filed," Boeing general counsel Michael Luttig wrote. "Through these misquotations and mischaracterizations, you have done a grave disservice to The Boeing Company, its executives and shareholders, and to the 160,000 Boeing employees worldwide."
