Just astounding – from Newsmax:
South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint said Thursday the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) complaint against Boeing for violating federal law shows the Obama administration is against right-to-work states and “is acting like a bunch of thugs.”
The NLRB said Wednesday Boeing violated labor law when it decided jim,demint,labor,relationsto open an assembly line for its 787 Dreamliner airplanes in a non-union plant in South Carolina instead of at a union factory near its Washington state headquarters. The aerospace giant said it will go forward with its South Carolina plans — first announced two years ago — while it fights the NLRB complaint…
What the Labor Relations Board is saying is that if you make a legal product in the United States you can only make it where it pleases the Labor Relations Board. The people of South Carolina? Screw you – unless you form a corrupt, restraint-of-trade union and become as utterly screwed up as unionized areas of the country. This is an unconstitutional outrage – a plain diktat from tyrants.
But it is, also, what you get when you vote for “hope and change” rather than rational policy. Allow yourself to get blinded sided by a slick media campaign and you’re going to find yourself in hot water. The corrective of this is to be found in 2012…and hopefully the lesson will be learned.
