Union sues over S.C. gov's remarks about Boeing plant
KOMO ^ | 1/21/11

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is facing her first big lawsuit after saying the state would try to keep unions out of the Boeing Inc. plant in North Charleston.

The lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Charleston by the International Association of Machinists and AFL-CIO asked for a court order telling Haley and her director of the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation to butt out and remain neutral in matters concerning union activities.

"There's no secret I don't like the unions," Haley said when asked about the litigation. "We are a right-to-work state. I will do everything I can to defend the fact we are a right-to-work state. We are pro-business by nature. I want us to continue to be pro-business. If they don't like what I said, I'm sorry, that's how I feel."

Five negatives in one sentence. No bad, Dear Senator.


But during her confirmation hearing, state Sen. Robert Ford asked her if she had orders to crack down on labor unions. The Democrat represents the Charleston district where the Boeing plant is being built.

“But you don’t have no mandate from nobody that we’re not going to let no labor union exist at Boeing?” Ford asked.

I’ll just be kind to you here, and remind you that hunches are not always correct. If you stop by more econ threads, you’’ll figure me out quickly enough.

Save your kindness and the rest of your crap.

You were “figured out” some time ago by everybody but you.

Just one more thing: what makes you think English is my second language? There are some internationally-regarded English professors who might find your opinion amusing.

I’ll admit that sometimes I’ll neglect to add a sarcasm tag, but the contention that I was “’figured out’ some time ago by everybody” indicates something else, like a grudge, maybe.

Sarcasm? You are a sad and vindictive little prick full of hate. No one could fail to figure you out if they paid any attention to your history of flinging poo on FR. Cosmic justice is when Obama’s little prick Immelt sends all those union job to China, Vietnam, Mexico, Nook, or any other hellholes that you leftist seem to so admire.
