Marathon Pundit: WFI release: Ben Nelson stands with union bosses, deserts Nebraska employers

Ben Nelson likes to pass himself off as a moderate Democrat. Siding with Big Labor betrays the truth. From a Workforce Fairness Institute press release:

Senator Ben Nelson Stands With Union Bosses, Deserts Nebraska Employers

Washington, D.C. (September 22, 2011) – The Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI) today released the following statement in response to Senator Ben Nelson voting against a measure in the Senate Appropriations Committee de-funding any efforts on the part of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) concerning its complaint against the Boeing Company:

"Senator Ben Nelson made a choice. He chose to stand with Big Labor bosses over his own constituents who are working every day to create jobs and remain afloat in arguably the worst economy since the Great Depression," said Fred Wszolek, spokesperson for the Workforce Fairness Institute (WFI). "Senator Nelson will have a tough time explaining to Nebraska's citizens why he is in favor of the government dictating to American employers where they can create jobs."
BACKGROUND:

Eight In 10 Americans Oppose NLRB's Actions Concerning Boeing Matter:

"When presented with a lengthy explanation of the Boeing case – where the federal government has filed a lawsuit over the their motivations for locating a new facility in the non-union state of South Carolina – fully 78% of voters side with Boeing in agreeing that a business should be able to open a facility in any state, and that the government should not be involve in the decision about where Boeing or any company locates new plants."
