Another blatant example of the Hypocrite-In-Chief

Posted on by

This is absolutely stunning. The hypocrisy, the complete clinical description of the mental illness called psychopathy… out in the open. It’s unbelievable.

Remember how Obama tried to dictate to Boeing and stop it from building a plant in South Carolina because that state has the right to work? He tried stopping it because he doesn’t believe you should have that freedom. He believes you should be forced to join a union in order to work.

Well, good old Barack went to Boeing and disingenuously told them about all the good work they are doing. That takes some gall, I’ll tell you that.

If I’m the Boeing CEO, I don’t allow Obama on Boeing property, let alone touring a plant and holding a big labor rally at the plant. After all, he and his union cronies are the one’s that declared war on Boeing. No, I would have had security escort him off the property.

via the Washington Examiner:

Obama rallied with union workers at a Boeing plant in Washington, but he praised the manufacturing conducted by Boeing in South Carolina, even though his National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) tried to close the South Carolina plant at the behest of the Washington union workers [...]

The NLRB tried to close that South Carolina plant, though, after union workers in Washington argued that Boeing had built the new factory in South Carolina — which is a right to work state — in retaliation against the Machinist Union strikes that had slowed production in Washington state. The NLRB dropped the complaint in December after Boeing signed a new contract with the machinists

The Washington Examiner’s Philip Klein argued that the NLRB “helped unions shake down Boeing” by pushing the complaint, which would have cost over 1,000 non-union jobs in South Carolina, until the union received the new contract.

What can you say? I’m speechless. The guy is unbelievably amazing, isn’t he? Unreal!

Following the ratification of a new Seattle-area contract between Boeing and its largest union, the International Association of Machinists, eight months of the union extremists running Barack Obama’s National Labor Relations Board wrongfully prosecuting Boeing offcially and quietly comes to an end.

Americans overwhelmingly side with Boeing, Republicans

Posted on by

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) may be upset with Boeing’s plan to operate a non-union plant in South Carolina, but most Americans think it should be allowed to.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone poll finds that 64% think Boeing has the right to open the plant in South Carolina while just 21% disagree. When respondents are told that the NLRB believes that opening the plant is an act of retaliation against the union, the numbers barely move. Only 17% think the agency has the right to prevent Boeing from opening the new facility while 64% disagree.

The House is expected to approve a bill barring the NLRB from getting involved with Boeing’s operation of a $750 million aircraft assembly line in South Carolina – a right-to-work state — instead of Washington State.  In April, the labor board filed a complaint against Boeing for opening the plant, claiming they did so in order to retaliate against unionized workers in Washington State for participating in numerous strikes.  Boeing attributes low costs for the plant’s location.

Republicans and unaffiliated voters overwhelmingly side with Boeing on the issue while Democrats are more evenly divided.

While more than 7-out-of-10 private sector workers believe Boeing should be allowed to operate a new, non-union, facility in South Carolina, only 54% of government employees agree.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) of union members agree that Boeing should be allowed to operate the South Carolina production plant. Read the rest
