During GM’s faux-bankruptcy proceedings, the Obama administration forced a law-evading reprioritization of claims: secured creditors were pushed down the totem pole – below unsecured UAW members.
That was an omen of things to come.
This week, there have been two government salvos fired.
First, the pro-union NLRB filed suit against Boeing, claiming that they were trying to escape the unions in Washington by building a plant in South Carolina – a right to work state.
The redress the NLRB is seeking: make Boeing close the new SC plant (which cost over $2 billion), fire the non-union workers, and hire union workers in Washington.
The NY Times thinks that’s a nice idea.
Are you kidding me?
Today, the NLRB announced that it’s filing suits against the states of Arizona and South Dakota.
Their crime?
Citizens in those state voted to preserve the use of secret ballots in union elections.
Unions (and Obama) want “card check”.
English translation: no secret ballots … rather, a union thug gets to look over a workers shoulder to check on the way he’s filling out his ballot.
All is the spirit of accuracy, of course.
Wonder why companies aren’t hiring …
