I've been steaming about this for a few days, and I still don't know what to make of it. How can Obama, and the National Labor Relations Board, possibly justify filing a lawsuit against a top employer like Boeing because they are planning to open a new plant in South Carolina, which is a right-to-work state? It's not as if they are closing down a plant with union workers in order to open one there. And by the way, even if they were, there wouldn't be a damn thing anybody could legitimately do about it. Companies relocate to friendlier business climates all the time. But its beginning to look like Obama plans to put a stop to that for good.
Nevertheless, this is not the case here. The company's plant in the state of Washington is still going strong. Actually, I think it just expanded recently, or not too long ago. No workers are being laid off. The plant in South Carolina is meant as an expansion, not a replacement. So what gives?
As if that were not enough, the new plant in South Carolina will, or would, make use of green energy in the form of sixty acres-yes, I said sixty acres-of solar panels on the roof of the plant. The way Democrats carry on about environmental issues, you would think they would hail this development as an example to emulate. But of course, the corrupt labor unions, one of the special interest groups to whom Barak Obama is nothing more than a mutually owned White House Lawn Jockey, are adamant. South Carolina is joining forces with Boeing in an attempt to hurt the unions, and union workers. Therefore, the NLRB is also filing suit against Governor Hayley and several of her appointees and other government officials on the grounds of-get this-violations of the First Amendment guarantees of Freedom of Association.
Nikki Hayley, the newly elected governor of South Carolina, is incensed at the NLRB's latest action and is going to fight it, as well she should. But let's face it, its going to take more than politics and the courts to settle this nonsense. The only thing that's going to put a stop to this kind of egregious, over-the-top abuse of the free enterprise system by an increasingly monolithic and dictatorial government bureaucracy is one thing and one thing only.
The citizens of the US need to go on "strike". I recommend a boycott on any Made In America product that is made by union labor. "Shop At Walmart" and "Buy Chinese" should be the orders of the day. Not only would that hurt the labor unions and their political lackeys where it really hurts, but it might forestall the latest threats by the Chinese to dump the two trillion dollars in US debt that they currently hold.
Sometimes you have to be willing to surpass the enemy when it comes to dirty, sleazy tactics. Yes, it would add to unemployment and cause grave overall damage to the national economy, but let's face it, we are on the way out now anyway. We are teetering closer to the edge of insolvency, of bankruptcy, and possibly a great Depression like nothing we have ever seen before. Democrats either don't get it or, as I actually suspect, want it to happen so they can impose a more socialist vision on the rest of us, in a way that would be impossible to forestall or resist.
By boycotting union products, we could not only destroy the unions and their stranglehold on our nation and its leaders and bureaucrats, we could actually bring Obama's rotten Administration crashing down to the ground before it brings the whole damn country crashing down with it.
"Look For The Union Label".
Then, buy something else.
