Boeing breaks the law, Dixie complains about being caught. Punish both the South and Boeing, and pursue/capture them if they go offshore.

The NLRB finds that Boeing did some wrong, and naturally the guilty parties in the South come to their defense. The NLRB did nothing wrong by catching Boeing in the act.

If Boeing goes offshore, pursue them as one would pursue a terrorist, and repatriate all assets to US hands that are not Southern. Should the NLRB fail, remind Boeing that going Galt will be their undoing – through military pursuit.

Hey Boeing! Build your next plant in Canada! We have a conservative government, well-trained workers and unions here that, while still unions, are, to a degree, rather more realistic than American unions. Plus there isn’t an NLRB here either! What are you waiting for?

you have a contract to buy your groceries from food mart at a prenegotiated price. you entered this contract to get a predictable, fixed-price-per-unit supply over a given time and agreed not to shop anywhere else.
you can’t violate a contract without consequences.

This is just another example of the utter stupidity of American labor unionists setting themselves up to lose more jobs to offshoring. The unmitigated greed of labor unions drives every American industry that it is successful at dominating offshore. Labor’s stooges in the Democratic party have through poor policy decisions driven the us steel industry and the auto industry to near states of collapse over and over again. Why anyone, anywhere accepts as even remotely plausible the argument that unions promote workers welfare is beyond me.

Boeing broke no laws, the NLRB certainly did, and like ATF and Justice, under this administration, they need to be perp walked in front of the House Oversight Committee and a Federal Judge.

Elections have consequences and people who voted for Obama to prove to themselves they are racist may now find they have no job thanks to his policies

Boeing will build their next facility in a foreign country where they will be welcomed with open arms and not punished by unions and team Obama.

Boeing clearly has broken no laws. They’ve expanded production in Seattle and chose to also expand production in South Carolina.

Suppose you’ve been buying $100 a week in groceries at FoodMart. Later on, you start buying $150 a week at FoodMart and $50 a week at CostLand. Only on another planet would someone claim that you’ve somehow “moved” your grocery shopping to CostLand or “retaliated” against FoodMart.
