NLRB Boeing ruling goes beyond South Carolina

As Fred Wszolek writes in Townall, the National Labor Relations Board decision on Boeing reaches far beyond South Carolina:

The NLRB complied and almost two years after the new facility was announced, and as construction was concluding and hiring commencing, the regulatory agency told Boeing that they could not extend operations to South Carolina because it was retaliation against Big Labor. This is a blow to South Carolina. It is a swipe to freedom. And it sends a chilling message to any company seeking to relocate in the United States: you are better off moving to Canada or Mexico than creating news jobs in your own country.

But the true damage of this political power play on behalf of Big Labor and against Boeing and South Carolinagoes much farther. An NLRB spokesperson recently stated, "The effect would have been the same if the line had been moved to a nonunion facility in any state."

This is a more straightforward way of saying that the NLRB can tell any business anywhere in our nation and at any time where it can and can not go. This incredible overreach by a little known agency owned by labor bosses seeking "payback" having expended nearly half a billion dollars electing President Obama is simply shocking. The NLRB is clearly saying their complaint against Boeing applies to every company and state in the union.

It also effectively outlaws businesses from moving into any of America's 22 right-to-work states if a union boss takes issue with their decision.
