NLRB - At It Again, Destroying America

From Mark Mix of the Right to Work Foundation.


Newly released documents demonstrate, once again, the blatant pro-Big Labor bias of President Barack Obama's appointees at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

The Obama administration lawyer responsible for the outrageous complaint against Boeing that could destroy thousands of jobs in Right to Work South Carolina joked in an internal email about taking a job with Airbus, the plane manufacturer heavily subsidized by European governments.

What NLRB Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon said next is even more telling.....
"We screwed up the American economy and now we can tackle Europe ."

Looking at the nightly news, I don't think the Big Governments of Europe need Lafe Solomon's help to wreck the economy.

While Solomon may claim to be joking, the impact of the Boeing case could indeed be disastrous for the economy.

As you may recall, Solomon is scheming to force thousands of Boeing Company jobs from South Carolina to Washington State , where International Association of Machinists (IAM) union bosses can force workers to pay dues or "fees" as a condition of employment.

The goal is clear: paralyze the decision-making of job providers like Boeing as they consider where to expand their businesses and create new jobs -- unless they are willing to cave in to pressure from union bosses and federal bureaucrats.

If the NLRB rubber stamps this despicable union-boss greed, job providers across the country could be forced to get approval from union bosses before they expand their businesses.

It's a blatant attack on the rights of workers and businesses alike.

And as the economy continues to struggle, it's the last thing we need.

Thanks to the generosity of Foundation supporters, after Solomon filed the complaint we immediately launched an aggressive media blitz in South Carolina offering free legal aid to Boeing employees.

Our extensive outreach paid off, and three Boeing workers contacted the Foundation for free legal aid.

Dennis Murray, one of the Boeing employees, told local news reporters that the Obama Labor Board is "forgetting the little people...they're forgetting the people trying to make a living and feed their families."

But Solomon didn't just forget about the workers -- he actively opposed their intervention in the case.

And now we learn that Solomon has been cracking jokes about the impact of his decision to do Big Labor's bidding at the expense of American workers and the economy.

"If I lose my job, my family will be devastated," Murray explained.

The newly released documents only confirm what I already knew -- I'm proud to stand with these courageous Boeing employees fighting back against outrageous bullying from union bosses and an out-of-control Obama Labor Board.

Cowboy's comment: It is inconceivable that people in the U.S. still do not have a right to work without paying Union dues, which of a large percentage is used in support of politicians (read Democrats) who what to perpetuate the system of Union domination in the workplace and the resultant degradation of the U.S. Economy.

Biden the Magnificent

Joe Biden, perhaps the least mentally capable person ever to occupy the Office of the Vice President, is now calling for an official investigation of a journalist who dared to question the Veep about his ludicrous claims that crime would sky rocket,....that rape and murder would go greatly increase, if Congress did not pass Obama's latest stimulus spending plan, titled under the cover of a Jobs Bill.

The encounter between a journalist named Mattera and Vice-Prez Biden took place like this:

Mattera: "Do you regret using a rape reference to describe Republican opposition to the president's bill?"

Biden: " I didn't use it. No, no, no, what I said,... let's get it straight, guys.... Don't screw around with me....Let's get it straight..... Listen to me...... I said rape was up, three times, in Flint (meaning Flint, Michigan). They're the numbers, go look at the numbers. Murder's up, rape is up, burglary's up, that's exactly what I said."

Mattera: "And if Republicans don't pass this bill, then rape will continue to rise?"

Biden: "Murder will continue to rise, rape will continue to rise, all crimes will continue to rise."

Of course, there are no statistics to back Biden claims up, after all the truth or proof never stopped Democrats before. What is really telling is Biden's attitude and subsequent call for an "investigation" into Mattera. Biden forgets that he works for the People,.....and this Country, at least now, it not Venezuela or Cuba or Russia or Iran, where the elected leaders control a police state. Now matter how Biden and Obama wish it so.

Sarkozy and Obama Diss Netanyahu

I was not planning on writing anything about this, but too many people asked me to address it and certainly there are some people who did not hear or read about this primarily because the liberal media tends to minimize news that embarrasses the Obama Administration.

While Obama was in France last week attending the G-20 summit in Cannes, he shared the stage with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Unaware that the microphones were on, Sarkozy leans over to Obama and says "I cannot bear Netanyahu, he's a liar." Obama replies ""You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you."

Not reported on initially, possibly because most foreign journalist's have something akin to a journalistic moral (unlike the majority, leftist media in this country) in what they may have considered a private accord. However, this event became known through the internet and affirmed by several news agencies on site during the gaffe.

Senior White House Propaganda Secretary in Chief, Jay Carney, declined to comment on the conversation.

What does this mean to the U.S? Well for one it's another case of American disrespect of Israel and the third world (read Islamist Terr organizations and States like Iran) tend to read between the lines and are very good at reading U.S. intentions through ill thought speech like what was caught between Butt Clown Sarkozy and American Apologist in Chief Obama.

No doubt, as we try to navigate dealing with the Iranian Nuclear capability it will degrade not only how the rest of the world and key players in the Middle East see the U.S., but it will degrade how serious Iran takes the U.S. resolve.

And what's damn sad about this one of many episodes of Obama dissing Israel is that the majority of Jewish Americans will still vote for the Democrat party. The only friend to Israel in the last three decades has been Republican Administrations.

Another aspect to this story is the anti-semantic tone Sarkozy and Obama which is in line with the Occupy Wall Street movement that is giving new life to the age old racist notion that "evil Jewish Bankers" control the World's money supply.

Being the class act that he is, Benjamin Netanyahu, when asked about Sarkozy and Obama's comments, responds "Is Obama a friend of Israel? Is Sarkozy a friend of Israel? The answer to this is yes, and, as far as I'm concerned, that is what's important."
