Big Labor bosses, NLRB, Right to Work, South Carolina

The “Death of Right to Work”

That’s what the Wall Street Journal calls the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) attempt to do what the Big Labor bosses have been dreaming of for decades — destroy the Right to Work of every worker in every state in the country.

In 2009, the airline manufacturer Boeing announced it would open a new plant in the Right to Work state of South Carolina, employing over 1,000 men and women. Since South Carolina is a Right to Work state, the Big Labor bosses at the International Association of Machinists union can’t force the workers to pay up or be fired.

Furious, the union bosses have filed an “Unfair Labor Practice” charge against Boeing, demanding that the plant be shut down. President Obama’s appointees at the NLRB are more than happy to oblige.

In fact, the NLRB‘s acting General Counsel, Lafe Solomon, recently filed a complaint against Boeing asking a judge to stop production at Boeing’s South Carolina plant and force Boeing to transfer the manufacturing to Washington, a forced-unionism state.

If the Big Labor bosses get their way, it is likely the 1,000 workers will be laid off and forced into the unemployment lines.

And it gets worse.

The Wall Street Journal called the complaint “The Death of Right to Work” because if the NLRB can stop a business from operating in a state simply because that state prohibits compulsory unionism, companies and workers will have nowhere to flee from forced-unionism tyranny.

And the stage will be set for the National Labor Relations Board to DESTROY every state Right to Work law in the country.

WE-the-PEOPLE cannot let this happen.
SIGN HERE!!!

The Obama bureaucrats at the NLRB cannot be allowed to dictate to companies where they can operate, or to workers for whom they can work. But they will, if you, and millions of Americans like you, do not mobilize to stop them.

Sign the petition HERE to your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY

The NLRB’s charges are completely baseless. But by forcing Boeing to spend millions of dollars defending themselves, the Board has effectively scared thousands of other companies out of moving or expanding into Right to Work states.

Fortunately, there is a bill in Congress to order the NLRB to stand down.

The Job Protection Act (S.964) simply says that employers have the right to open businesses and hire workers wherever they think it makes sense to do so, and the Obama bureaucrats at the NLRB won’t be able to sue them for making the sound economic decision to move to a Right to Work state.

The petition urges your Senators to support the Job Protection Act (NOT the Spending Jobs Bill Obama has been trying to get through the Senate for 2 months) to forbid the NLRB to persecute Boeing or any other company for creating jobs in Right to Work states.

The fact is, the NLRB is one of Big Labor’s most effective accomplices in increasing its forced-dues power, and over the past few years, Obama’s NLRB has repeatedly ruled against workers who have tried to exercise even their most basic rights. Whether these workers sought to dismiss unwanted union “representation” or attempted to stop their forced dues from being used to elect handpicked Big Labor politicians, the story was the same — union-label NLRB appointees sided with their Big Labor allies in favor of compulsion.

And since the 2010 elections — it’s only gotten worse.

You see, with the political winds shifting in our direction, the union bosses know they’re going to have a hard time ramming their radical agenda through Congress. They’re depending on Obama’s hand-picked bureaucrats at the NLRB to expand their forced-dues empire through regulatory fiat, and this current action against Boeing, as bad as it is, is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Big Labor bureaucrats at the NLRB are scheming to impose most of Big Labor’s agenda on the American people, including:

  • *** Card Check Forced Unionism, which would STRIP workers of the right to a secret ballot in union elections, allowing union thugs to intimidate workers one-on-one — or three-on-one — into signing so-called “union authorization cards;”
  • *** Unfettered access to the workplace, forcing employers to allow radical union militants to access private company property to harass workers into signing themselves and their fellow employees over to union boss control;
  • *** Mandatory binding arbitration, which would allow President Obama’s hand-picked minions to impose the terms and conditions of employment on private American workers and companies;
  • *** Quick snap, ambush elections that leave employers and independent-minded employees with virtually no time to share truthful information, so workers only hear one side of the story – Big Labor’s!

This is an opportunity for those of us who think Big Business has too much power already to let our voices be heard.
The link at the top and bottom of this post will take you to the petition to send to your representatives.

Please – Our Constitutional Republic will only work
if we participate!

If Big Labor’s NLRB gets away with their attempt to bypass Congress and RAM Big Labor’s agenda down the throats of the American people, it will deal a crippling blow to our already-struggling economy.

Do You Know the Original 13 Colonies?

The original thirteen colonies were Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia. Please click here to see when the colonies were founded. Check out the map of these 13 colonies!

History is a fascinating thing! It helps to identify who we are, what we are, and where we’re headed. When I was in school, America was called the “melting pot” because it was a land where anyone could come and make a home, as long as they were willing to work hard and face the inherent dangers of an unsettled land. People came from every nation in Europe in those early days, but primarily from Britain, France, and Spain. Here is a helpful chronology related to these original 13 colonies that became the first 13 states of the infant United States of America.

Charter to Sir Walter Raleigh: 1584

Everybody remembers Jamestown, Capt. John Smith, Pocahontas and all the rest. But do you remember Roanoke? In 1585, after a small scouting expedition had returned from North America with two Native Americans and many astonishing stories, Sir Walter Raleigh tried to establish a colony called Roanoke in the land which the British named “Virginia”, in honor of Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen. The site was actually an island on North America’s eastern seaboard protected by the outer banks of what is now North Carolina’s coast. Sir Richard Grenville led the fleet that brought them to the New World, the Governor of the colony was Master Ralph Lane and among the colonists was Walter Raleigh’s confidant Thomas Harriot, author of “A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia”, a chronicle of their adventure. Sir Francis Drake, who was seeking Spanish conquests in the New World, rescued this group just as they were losing control of their situation. Another colony was left at Roanoke in 1587 but by 1590, when a long delayed supply ship finally arrived, they had disappeared without a trace. This was the so-called “Lost Colony“. A baby was born in Roanoke at this time. Little Virginia Dare, was the granddaughter of John White, the appointed Governor of the “Lost Colony”, and was probably the first English baby born in the New World. Sir Walter Raleigh sent ships to America to search for the colonists but they were unsuccessful. By the time the next English settlers arrived in North America to colonize Jamestown it was nearly twenty years later and, although several attempts were made to find out what happened to them, the fate of the “Lost Colony” was never fully explained.

Facts of the Thirteen Colonies

Connecticut: 5th to become a state 1788; settled by Puritans from Massachusetts; state laws were model for US Constitution; nickname is Constitution State

Delaware: 1st state 12-7-1787; Delaware’s Blue Hen army (named for their leader’s pet fighting Blue Hen rooster) turned away advancing British in initial skirmish with great speed and bravery; the 13-star flag was flown in battle here first

Georgia: Last colony settled but was 4th to ratify Constitution and become state; named after King George II

Maryland: Named for Queen Henrietta Maria of England; Known for its valiant army; statehood 4-28-1788; part of state became Washington D C

Pilgrims land December 11, 1620


Massachusetts: Plymouth Rock home; became a state 2-6-1788; once had a carved wooden codfish on the wall of the State House because codfish were a big state industry

New Hampshire: named for Hampshire County in England; became state 6-21-1788; was heavily explored by both French and English

New Jersey: Land was given to the Governor of the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel for this colony; it would be the site of over 100 battles and skirmishes before the Revolution ended

New York: Named for the Duke of York (brother of King Charles II); statehood 7-26-1788; US Congress met here after Revolution

North Carolina: Home of Roanoke Island’s Lost Colony; first child born in America was John White’s granddaughter Virginia on 8-18-1587; statehood 11-21-1789

Pennsylvania: means Penn’s Woods, named for William Penn; nickname Keystone State because it is the center of the arch of thirteen colonies; 2nd state 12-12-1787; settled by various religious groups who greatly enhanced colonial life with inventions such as the Conestoga wagon.

Rhode Island: smallest colony and state; not an island, was maybe named for Isle of Rhodes in Aegean Sea; 1st declare independence from England but last of thirteen to become a state because of concerns over being fairly represented in spite of size

Jamestown, Virginia 1607 - First permanent settlement in New World


South Carolina: once part of “Carolana” with NC; nickname Palmetto State because fortress of palms kept British warship away from Charleston harbor in 1776 battle; statehood 5-23-1788

Virginia: home to four of the first five US presidents, and eventually home to four more; site of 1st permanent settlement in Jamestown 1607

Those first settlers had high hopes for the New World – for America. They saw her as a “City on a hill, a thought shared by many including former President Ronald Reagan when he said, “America is a shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere.” Some today attempt to divorce the impact of Christianity on the birth and development of America, but it cannot be done and still retain the integrity of History! “John Winthrop used the phrase “City upon a Hill” to describe the new settlement at Plymouth, with “the eies of all people” upon them. And with those words, he laid a foundation for a new world. These new settlers certainly represented a new destiny for this land.” READ MORE

A destiny America has yet to fulfill, to exemplify a community of free and diverse individuals bound together by a love and respect for the ideals contained in the US Constitution …

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!
