A powerful House Republican committee chairman accused the National Labor Relations Board of being a “rogue agency” in a letter to its general counsel Monday. The chairman claimed the NLRB knowingly withheld damaging documents relating to his committee’s probe of the agency’s controversial Boeing (BA) complaint.. If one follows the time line, the union has no case against Boeing. From what I've read, prior to Boeing buying that private aircraft company in South Carolina, the workers of that company were unionized......in fact represented by the same machinists union as the Boeing workers in Washington. The South Carolina workers became disenchanted with the union and the union realized this and somehow forced thru one of those fly by night elections on a new union contract. Only about 13 out of 200+ workers participated in the vote. The vote was 12 to 1 to accept the new contract. The union immediately claimed 92% worker backing for the new contract. In fact the contract was terrible... not even making up for the increase in union dues. Somewhere about this time, Boeing bought the company and announced the intention of establishing a second production line in South Carolina. Well....the Wash machinists union could not and did not sue Boeing at that point since the South Carolina workers were represented by the same union. If they did, their own union members in South Carolina would have filed suit with the NLRB against their own union for non representation. The workers were by this time totally fed up with the union and decertified it (threw them out) at the first voting opportunity in the contract. Only then did the Wash. machinists union sue Boeing for attempting to open a second production line in South Carolina. If successful, the suit will result in the South Carolina workers losing their jobs. Since it was filed just after the union was decertified in South Carolina, it is union retribution against Boeing and the South Carolina workers for being decertified. This is CLEARLY illegal by law. From what I've read, I believe the time line of events will clearly show this.
