House Bill Would Block Case Against Boeing

WASHINGTON (AP) House Republicans, angry over the government's labor
dispute with Boeing Co., are taking up a bill that would prohibit the
National Labor Relations Board from ordering any company to close plants
or relocate workers, even if a company flouts labor laws.
.
The measure would undercut a high-profile lawsuit filed in April that
accuses Boeing of violating labor laws by opening a new production line
for its 787 airplane in right-to-work South Carolina. The board says
Boeing is punishing unionized Washington state workers for past strikes.
.
Boeing has vigorously denied the allegations, claiming the move was an
economic decision. Business groups claim the board has overstepped its
bounds, and say no agency should have the right to dictate where a company
can or cannot create jobs.
.
While the bill is likely to pass the GOP-controlled House when it comes up
for a vote Thursday, it is not expected to gain traction in the Senate,
where Democratic leaders strongly oppose it. The Obama administration and
labor groups say the bill would cripple the government's ability to
enforce labor laws.
.
The case has become a major issue in the Republican presidential campaign,
in which South Carolina is an early primary state. Touring the new Boeing
plant in South Carolina on Monday, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney
called the lawsuit "political payback" from the White House to unions.
.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said Republicans are exaggerating what he
called a routine step by the board to enforce a law that has been on the
books for more than 70 years. The National Labor Relations Act prohibits
companies from retaliating against workers who exercise union rights by
moving their jobs away.
.
"This is sweeping legislation that would gut the NLRB and result in
serious, harmful changes to jobs and workers' rights across the country,"
Trumka said.

Mitt Romney uses Boeing union issue to appeal to tea party

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. Mitt Romneys harsh critique Monday of the federal
governments efforts to block Boeing from bringing thousands of non-union
jobs to South Carolina was not a new line of attack for Republican
presidential candidates who for months have used the conflict to portray
the Obama administration as beholden to union bosses.
.
But the moment did provide a chance for the former Massachusetts governor
to take a position fully in step with his partys conservative wing.
Primarily because of his support for a health-care overhaul in his state
that became the base for President Obamas national plan, Romney has
struggled to win over tea party activists, whose energy and uncompromising
stance on reducing the size and scope of government have redefined the
Republican Party.
.
snip
.
If Romney pleased Republicans in South Carolina and beyond with his sharp
political rhetoric, his attack also underscored how important such moments
may be for a presidential hopeful who has not backed down from his
moderate views on other issues. He is walking a fine line between selling
himself as the most electable candidate in the GOP field and avoiding
alienating the conservatives whose blessing he needs to secure the partys
nomination, particularly in such early states as Iowa and South Carolina.
.
Social Security is perhaps the best example, and Romney has promised to
try to fix, not abolish, the entitlement program. He has portrayed his
chief rival, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, as out of step with most Americans for
calling it a Ponzi scheme at risk of imminent collapse.
.
Even in his attack on unions, Romney took pains to reach out to workers
while blaming the leaders of their labor groups for standing in the way of
new jobs and economic growth. Surrounded by huge projected slides and
signs laying out his plan to improve the economy, Romney took aim at union
leaders for using workers dues to funnel political contributions to
Democrats, for trying to end the use of secret ballots on unionization
votes and for demanding political payback with the Boeing deal, for
example from the leaders they elect. Standing beside him was his latest
supporter, former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, who recently bowed out
of the GOP race.
