Why Is Obama Killing Jobs in SC?

The NLRB Is Blocking Job Creation
The Obama administration is pro-union. They don't like ANY company that is NOT unionized because Obama protects his union buddies any chance he can. This is carried to extreme when the government tells a private business where they can or cannot open and run a branch of their business.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is doing just that to one of our states with high unemployment. South Carolina has over 10% unemployment. Boeing decided to build a manufacturing plant in South Carolina. This is good for the state because it brings over 5,000 new jobs to help ease the strain of the bad economy.

However, Obama didn't like this move on the part of Boeing. SO he waited until Boeing built the multi-million dollar plant and then ordered the NLRB to stop the opening of the plant. This is a crushing blow to a major US manufacturer and to the citizens of South Carolina. WHY?

It's All About Unions
South Carolina is a so-called "right to work state." There are actually 22 right to work states that protect workers from being forced to pay union dues or be forced into joining a union. States who do not have this law enforce the "Closed Shop" rule loved by unions. This rule coerces employees into joining the union whether they want to or not, and forces them to pay fees and monthly union dues in order to keep their job. Individuals who don't join the union loose their job and cannot work there!

Obama's Logic
It's better to give support to unions and cause the collapse of a major manufacturing company. Boeing is one of the few remaining companies that manufacturer and produce goods that are sold internationally on a large scale. It seems like Obama is trying to destroy this capability just for his union buddies. It may also be because he is trying to re-distribute the wealth and lower America's standard of living. Why else would he do this?

Action To Take
Demand that your reps investigate this situation and stop the NLRB from telling private companies where the can or cannot open business. Big Government is overstepping their authority (AGAIN).
