And this is against the law? Why is this a "so-called right to work state"?
Isn't this the essence of the free enterprise system?
I think that the NLRB is claiming that in making the decision to build a new line in SC, Boeing made statements that the possibility of labor stoppages and strikes played a part in the decision in some general statements that were made by some level of their company.
They are using the prohibition against unfair retaliation for properly waged strikes as a general principle and applying it against all company decisions that the company makes for expansion.
If I have a union agreement on a plant and in contract negotiations a proper strike occurs and then I tell the union that if they don’t stop the strike I will shut down the plant permenantly in retaliation, that is unfair bargaining.
That is not the case here as expansions for their product lines are still happening in Washington in the union plants and they have just chosen to make one aspect of a NEW product line elsewhere from its first introduction.
The NLRB is taking its labor negotiating monitoring status and using it as a massive political tool to favor unions and to bludgeon states that are not union controled and to likewise hold a state working in a union state hostage.
