Jim DeMint on NLB and Boeing’s Battle: This Is Going to Hurt Workers In Every State
Last Month’s NLRB decision to side with a union trying to block Boeing Co. from operating in South Carolina has entered a new stage in the US Senate. Sen. Jim DeMint and a few others introduced a bill, called the Job Protection Act, to bar the board from overriding an employer’s decision to site a facility in a particular state. Senator Jim DeMint talks to Neil Cavuto about whether “Right to Work” laws are the right move for America. For more, go to www.foxnewsinsider.com.
@man4ourseason There is not a single production facility built by a foreign automaker in the North East. They produce almost exclusively in conservative states, mostly right-to-work. The South has also become headquarters of US aerospace: Gulfstream, Bell, Cessna, Spirit, Hawker Beechcraft, LearJet… 2nd Boeing facility in SC, new Embraer facility for bizjet assembly in Florida, new RR facility in Virginia
@man4ourseason Are you trolling? Or are you really a corporatist? I can’t tell…
They didn’t build it in Seattle because you would of had a bunch of lazy tree huggers building airplanes….that would of been dropping out of the sky lol….that’s why tthey moved to a state with balls next to a giant air force base …employing real americans
@man4ourseason, whether or not its illegal, what Boeing is attempting to do is not immoral. They are a business, not a charity. Workers have the right contract with whomever they want. If Boeing is not paying them enough the can quit. But the fact is that state backed unions disincentives businesses from expanding or opening. I would rather work for minimum wage without a union than be employed because of one, but that is just me.
@airmama100 Ditto here too. Union Worker’s are the Laziest..!!
@man4ourseason nobody has the right to tell a company where they can open or move a shop. And attempting to do so will just cause more companies to relocate overseas and take the jobs with them. Nobody is above the law of ECONOMICS.
@man4ourseason If, because of unions, there’s no work in Washington State….Move. The last time I looked it was still a free country.
Having worked with union workers, I found most to be overpaid, under performing people. When we had to be warned against waking up union workers sleeping on the job in parts bins, that’s past what should be protected. We couldn’t complain to the union or fire the workers either.
It has already hurt 1000 workers in Washington state when Boeing illegally targeted and retaliated against them when they ended their jobs and tried to move to a right to work for nothing state. That is illegal and Boeing is not above the Law.
Obama your a jack off people need Jobs
