| TAMARACK LEAFING OUT |
Plants are blooming and leafing out, despite the weather. Like an old box elder (
The federal government is again instigating a lawsuit against a private corporation, endangering the security and economy of the nation. For a federal agency to sue Boeing Corporation on behalf of the unions because it is building a new plant in South Carolina, which is a right to work state, is rank political favoritism and stupid economic policy, regardless of whether it is sound legal policy or not (and there is plenty of argument that it is not). The Obama administration is overtly favoring a state and a constituency that is a political ally and is punishing a state and a constituency that it considers an enemy. That is pure Chicago politics, right out of the Richard Ayers and Rohm Emanuel play book.
But, worse than that, it is pushing a private corporation, which has every right to move where it wishes in order to enhance its profits and operating efficiency, against the wall. Boeing has endured numerous strikes at its Washington plants in recent years, so why wouldn’t it wish to expand into a state of the Union which has a better business climate? The Administration’s actions are nothing but political payback to its supporters. Such thuggish behavior denigrates the almost half of the states of the United States that have right to work laws. Are all those states now to be targets of federal lawsuits at any and every opportunity? Let's get rid of the NLRB and let the unions hire their own lawyers! Boeing has manufacturing operations in forty countries worldwide. If it is not allowed by the US government to expand into a state of the United States when it wishes to, its next most likely move will be to a foreign country, perhaps Ireland, or India, or…China. Boeing, going…gone!
