"H. L. Mencken defined puritanism as the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy. The National Labor Relations Board is haunted by the fear that a company somewhere might be creating jobs with a nonunionized work force.
Boeing has run afoul of that fear by investing more than $1 billion in a new plant in the right-to-work state of South Carolina. With only the flimsiest legal justification, the board wants to force Boeing to reverse course and locate the facility with its current operations in Washington State, where its workers are unionized."
Yea, right. That would be the ultimate BS, telling a company where they can and can not do business. It's one of the huge reasons, I have NO use for unions.
Think of the employment opportunities for the lawyers at the NLRB. Why, all of those companies who picked up and moved their production to another area could be sued. Hershey's, Levi Strauss, even Government Motors who has production facilities in Canada and Mexico. Think Government Motors is next because they located their facilities away from UAW control? Somehow I doubt it.................
Lamar Alexander was just talking about this case on Hugh Hewitt this week. He noted that tthe UAW/GM/Saturn plant is now shutdown and those people are out of work. It never paid off. Wheras the non-union Nissan plant down the road is still running and making money.
Hopefully Nissan was able to hire some of the former UAW workers.

Bwha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ah...H.L. Mencken was talking about people there, people like you, not Corporations...The first time I see any of you express compassion for anything and it's a building.. A nameless faceless corporation
Boeing is going to win this one. The NLRB needs to go away. They are clueless, it all about them and no one else. Screw them. Boeing should start production at the new plant and give NLRB the finger.
Right. What we need is government or unions dictating where one opens a business and whom one hires. Yes, I get it now. Corporations exist only for parasites who want to make sure of their survival while letting the host do all the hard work.

I can't see how Boeing can't win. Who in their right mind would even believe that they can prevent someone from opening a company where they want to? Were this to happen, I can see Boeing saying F***k u and moving their operations overseas. And then we'll hear about evil companies, evil because the parasites are left looking for another host they can suck dry. Talk about myopic morons.
