Boeing’s new South Carolina plant is for assembly of the 787 Dreamliner, not a military aircraft, but an attack on one part of that vast company is an attack on all of it, and Obama’s hard-left appointees to the NLRB are indeed attacking.
A group of Republican senators is pressuring the White House to remove two picks for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) after the board filed suit against Boeing over its decision to move production work to a different state.
Luttig’s recent letter to National Labor Relations Board acting general counsel Lafe Solomon accusing the NLRB of mischaracterizing and misquoting decisions by Boeing and statements by the company’s top executives raises some especially disturbing questions.

Today, the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW) filed a brief requesting that the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) provide statistical data justifying its plan to reverse over 50 years of established law in order to dramatically change the way unions organize America’s workplaces by allowing “micro unions”.
It seems like lately at every turn the National Labor Relations Board tries something new to upend years of fair workplace practices and standards. As the board drifts more and more into being an official taxpayer-funded extension of Big Labor, it gives new meaning to the old adage, “if you can’t win the game, change the […]
