Thread: Obama board to workers: sit down, shut up

Rec'd this in an email... Stuff like this is maddening!


The message from the unelected bureaucrats at Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to American workers couldn't be more clear: sit down and shut up.

Last week three Boeing employees, with free legal aid from Foundation staff attorneys, filed a motion to intervene in the NLRB's outrageous case against Boeing for creating thousands of new jobs in Right to Work South Carolina rather than forced-unionism Washington State.

At the urging of the NLRB's Acting General Counsel, an administrative law judge has denied their motion to intervene -- effectively telling the workers, "You have no stake in your jobs."

Incredibly, even though the Acting General Counsel is seeking to force Boeing to move over 1,000 jobs from South Carolina, the administrative law judge ruled that the Boeing workers who would lose their jobs have no "legitimate direct interest" in the outcome of the case.

Foundation attorneys have already appealed with the full NLRB and filed a motion with the judge to stay proceedings until the Board rules on the appeal.

But rest assured, even if the Obama appointees stonewall on these requests, your Foundation will not relent.

We will pursue every opportunity in the press and the legal process to expose this case for what it is: the latest outrageous example of political payback by the Obama Administration to the Big Labor bosses who spent hundreds of millions of dollars in 2008 getting Obama elected.

"This is our Wisconsin," one IAM union official told the press, inadvertently revealing it's once again all about Big Labor's lust for forced dues.

Government-sector union bosses threw a tantrum in Wisconsin after Governor Scott Walker pushed for and ultimately signed a Right to Work law for most government workers, cutting off the forced-dues pipeline that corrupts the political process.

But due to South Carolina's popular and longstanding Right to Work law, IAM union brass can't seize a dime from the Boeing workers in Charleston.

That's why the IAM union hierarchy is asking the NLRB to move those jobs 3,000 miles away to Washington State.

And if that's not bad enough, if the NLRB rubber stamps this despicable union-boss greed, job providers across the country could be forced to get approval from union bosses before they expand their businesses.

It's a blatant attack on the rights of workers and businesses alike.

And as the economy continues to struggle, it's the last thing we need.

"If I lose my job, my family will be devastated," explained Dennis Murray, one of the Boeing workers seeking to intervene.

But Big Labor and the Obama Administration don't want Murray and other Boeing workers to tell their story.

That's why your continued support is so critical.

By chipping in with a tax-deductible contribution of $10 or more, you'll help the Foundation stand up to the forced-unionism bullies at Big Labor and in the Obama Administration.

These Boeing workers deserve to be heard. And your Foundation will not stop until they are.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix

That is kind of like me going door to door, telling everybody I will force them to pay me money to wash their driveways.

Moreover, has anyone addressed the impact on the cost of the contract? If Boeing must move jobs to Washington state and those jobs are unionized, they will incur increased costs. Their bid for this contract was apparently based on building and hiring in South Carolina and the wage rates that prevail there. What are the additional costs and who pays them? And the contract has already been approved by the government, so what gives the NRLB the right to revise the terms of the contract after it has been let, bid upon competitively, and awarded?
