The National Right to Work Act just received an unexpected endorsement from the Obama National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).In fact, the forced unionism apologists have finally admitted that Right to Work laws are such a powerful tool for job creation, workers who benefit from these protections should be thrown out of their jobs.
I know this is confusing, so let me explain.
You see, yesterday the NLRB’s acting general counsel, Lafe Solomon, issued a complaint against Boeing, the airline manufacturer.
In 2009, Boeing opened a new plant in South Carolina, one of 22 states that protect the Right to Work, employing over 1000 hardworking Americans.
But Solomon has agreed with International Association of Machinists union bosses who want to shut down the plant because they can’t force the workers to pay any dues or “fees.”
Solomon’s complaint is outrageous. It’s no secret that Right to Work laws spur job growth and innovation, which is exactly why Boeing opted to build in South Carolina.
The Wall Street Journal today called the decision “The Death of Right to Work.” If the NLRB can tell a company it can’t hire workers in Right to Work states, it can do anything.
But to paraphrase Mark Twain, the rumors of our death are greatly exaggerated.
As you know, we have a plan to end forced unionism nationwide.
It’s called the National Right to Work Act.
