House to Vote on Bill to Block Government Case Against Boeing
Published September 13, 2011

House Republicans, angry over the government's labor dispute with Boeing Co., are taking up a bill that would prohibit the National Labor Relations Board from ordering any company to close plants or relocate workers, even if a company flouts labor laws.

The measure would undercut a high-profile lawsuit filed in April that accuses Boeing of violating labor laws by opening a new production line for its 787 airplane in right-to-work South Carolina.

The board says Boeing is punishing unionized Washington state workers for past strikes.

Boeing has vigorously denied the allegations, claiming the move was an economic decision.

Business groups claim the board has overstepped its bounds, and say no agency should have the right to dictate where a company can or cannot create jobs.

That's good, but what real effect will it have with such a pro union admin?

At the minimum, it disassociates the House Republicans from responsibility for dictating which state a company can or cannot operate in.

The objectives of the NLRB would appear as if they believe they have controls similar to interstate tariffs.

The government has no authority to prevent a company from relocating production to another state even if labor costs are the only reason for such a move.
