So Boeing is building the 787s in south Carolina. So what????
I apparently have been laboring under a false impression that Boeing, or any other company for that matter, could manufacture their products any place that wanted. But now the union goons don't like corporations thinking for themselves. The union goons should be damn happy Boeing didn't "outsource" the manufacture of the 787s to China or Bangladesh or (Heaven forbid!), France.

Remember that march on the mall a few years ago? That was the time. The last chance, it appears. We came this || close, but lacked the spark.
Sounds like a high crime to me.

You may have noticed Microsoft makes nothing in Washington State. Most of their employees are exemp..ie. engineers mgmt etc.
no union thugs.
And of course the politicians from South Carolina have sent a nasty letter to the NLRB head and requested he attend a blanket party in his honor. Some heads from other right to work states have also chimed in and have said they want to bring some socks, locks, and bars of soap.
What a load of manure. "Retaliation" against employees for engaging in organizing activity has always been a violation of the National Labor Relations Act (which creates the NLRB), but this ridiculous ruling by the Board would have every business decision that a business makes be couched as "retaliation" for "strikes and potential future strikes."
As long as the company didn't violate the terms of the collective bargaining agreement by moving its operations, it is free to do so.
Bizarro world.
Jim-PRS, I'm sure every one of those WA state employees got a "We're moving to SC, wanna come along?" letter.
In which case, f*ck 'em.
I don't understand. If it's about unions, why didn't the Federal government go after Michael Moore when he used non-union workers on (of all things) "Capitalism: A Love Story"?

I don't see retaliation against employees, rather it is against the union itself.
