It must be maddening to have the government siding with your former union to destroy your jobs. Yet, that is what is occurring with the Machinists’ union (IAM) having filed a charge against Boeing for opening its second 787 assembly line in Charleston, SC, a plant that used to be represented by the same union, and the union-controlled National Labor Relations Board going along with the union—thousands of South Carolinia jobs are at stake.
Well, with the Obama NLRB and their former union trying to destroy their jobs, Boeing’s employees in Charleston are now beginning to fight back.
The law says you cannot retaliate for unions using their right to strike in any way.
You cannot threaten them, you cannot move the work away. The company officials by their own words and actions did just this.
This is yet another thread...were uniformed right wingers will argue for their preferred outcomes ....regardless of what the law says......without knowing the facts of the case.
Yeap ! Obama pro-jobs ? Only union jobs, the other jobs can be destroyed
That would be wonderful to increase union jobs....they are higher paying and give more benefits.
Corporations in the USA are making historic profits for the richest 1% of American. The gap between rich and poor is at the highest level in our Nation's history.
Unions help spread the wealth.
I'll never understand why poor, uneducated, whites hate their fellow citizen who organizes to provide a better life for his family.
So, you expect us to just believe you? How about showing us the law?
Not a blog, not a site that is pro union site....
Look under National Labor Relations Act
I'm not going to walk you through the specific points.
I don't know why this is so hard to believe because if you read up on the case....the NLRB is accusing Boeing of "retaliating" against the Seattle workers?

Companies can certainly take into consideration the economic/business impact of a striking union.
Are you aware of how many times the union has engaged in a strike within the last 8 years? How many BILLIONS it has cost Boeing?
They aren't moving work away. This is NEW work. The NLRB is on shaky ground here.
I can't believe even the most extremist of the Left would think it is OK for a government entity to dictate to a private sector company WHERE they can set up shop.

They can accuse all they want, but it's not true. In fact, Boeing was engaged in negotiations with the union for YEARS before deciding to OPEN A BRAND NEW PLANT FOR NEW WORK.
They have ADDED 2000 jobs in the WA plant. I'm sure you're not aware of ANY of the above.
The unions don't get to dictate where new work will be.
Did you know this?

Would the Machinists’ union have filed charges against Boeing if the workers in South Carolina did not decertify the union and had remained members instead?
If the answer is ‘no,’ then union’s actions are nothing more than retaliation for employees in Charleston exercising their legal right to decertify the union and, through its position, the NLRB is aiding and abetting the union’s retaliation.
So the workers USED to belong to the union, but they threw the union out on their ear.
What were you saying about retaliation?
The most radical, leftist, job killing, economy destroying president this country has ever seen.

Tell us, how many times have the Boeing workers gone on strike in the last 8 years, and where were the locations?
We will wait.

Two, one in 2005 and the other in 2008.
