Labor Board Says Boeing’s South Carolina Plant Breaks Law - NYTimes.com

Labor Board Says Boeing’s South Carolina Plant Breaks Law - NYTimes.com

Business needs mobility. The government cannot tell Boeing it cannot open a new plant to deal with excess demand of Boeing products because it is "retaliatory" against unions. The union is not being harmed or injured, it is not being punished, it is merely not being benefited. Anti-retaliatory law may hold retaliation against unions is illegal, but it does not follow that unions have a right to be benefited.

Free markets make business efficient. Boeing needs to be able to freely move its capital without the government stopping it through the court system. This is appalling, a plant was just built, 1,000 people hired, and now the court states they cannot use the plant, really?!

This is eerily reminiscent of the government in Atlas Shrugged. Government opposing business efficiency and competition on the grounds that it is "against public policy." This move by the NLRB will destroy jobs, make Boeing less efficient, and is the type of government coercion which will have a chilling effect on business expansion into this country.
