Boeing makes a decision to invest hundreds of millions to build a new manufacturing facility, expand production and add hundreds of jobs only to be challenged in court by the NLRB.....seriously? Dear Mr. President, do you think this will make domestic companies more or less likely to make meaningful capital investment in the US and add jobs? Is it any wonder why US companies are hesitant to employ the billions of cash on their balance sheets or make other meaningful investment commitments under this administration? You can't add jobs without investment....meaningful investment will always be limited by uncertainty.....the uncertainty of this administrations treatment of business and the uncertainty of the impacts and implications of its policies are a monumental drag on this economy.....sorry people, Obama is doing it. http://www.npr.org/2011/06/14/137141619/labor-agency-challenges-boeing-factory-location
:roll: 16,000 brand new, high paying, long lasting, jobs down the drain. Next time, Boeing will build it's assembly plant in Brazil, Argentina or Indonesia where the NLRB can't touch them. So will Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman... American companies are no longer allowed to outsource jobs to other states; they must now go where the labor unions, like the IAM, tell them where to go. My dad belonged to the IAM and he worked for Lockheed over 30 years and I'm dead certain that he would have told them all to go to hell. He worked at three Lockheed operations at Ontario, CA; Burbank, CA; and Marrietta, GA. It was OK to cross state lines to work for the same company in those days, without asking permission of the labor thugs in the Democratic Party...
JO'Co, the Obama administration has refused to defend the law defining marriage, but has stepped in to interfere with a massive investment by a company wishing to expand domestic production capacity that will yield thousands of new US jobs......if we are to believe it's best to interpret the priorities of a government by their actions, how are we to interpret the priorities of this administration and does it have anything to do with job creation? Anybody?
The list of industries that these idiots are killing off would be too long to write out. Off the top of my head Obama's policies are killing: 1. Domestic oil drilling 2. Coal 3. Aircraft manufacturing 4. Banking 5. Construction Many of their policies are counter-productive too. Ethanol receives government subsidies so that corn, which would have gone to feed the hungry of the world, is used instead for fuel, which is less efficient then gasoline. Electric cars, like the Chevy Volt, use more energy and produce more pollution in the manufacture of their batteries than comparable gas-powered cars. The lists are endless. He's changing our country alright. He's changing us into Italy without the opera...
The plant will be built in Charleston. Judge has asked for a settlement stating that litigation could take years. This tells me the plant will move and Boeing will be asked to take steps, largely unenforceabl to generate additional work in Seattle. The NLRB has become a tool of the Democrats and this time there has been a huge overreach.
