Calls For Documents, Information For Committee Oversight
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell
Issa (R-CA) (pictured) issued a subpoena to the National Labor
Relations Board (NLRB) and Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon
August 7 as part of its investigation into NLRB action against the
Boeing Company. It compels NLRB to comply with earlier, outstanding
Committee document requests submitted in May. NLRB is compelled to
produce identified materials to Committee offices no later
than 1200 EDT August 12.
"NLRB's action in the case against
Boeing has the potential to create a job-killing precedent just as
U.S. manufacturers are working toward economic recovery. That a
Washington, D.C.-based bureaucracy could dictate the work location
and parameters for a world-leading company is unprecedented in a
global economy and hobbles a leading American job creator at a time
of economic vulnerability," Issa said.
Chairman Issa added, "President Obama and both Democratic and
Republican Members of Congress have questioned the wisdom behind
NLRB's actions against Boeing. As this matter could take years to
resolve and create even more crippling uncertainty for job
creators, it is imperative that Congress get complete facts about
NLRB's rational and its decision making process in this matter
without further delay."
The NLRB subpoena requests documents dating from January 1, 2009
covering the following:
Documents in the custody or control of the Office of the
General Counsel or the National Labor Relations Board referring or
relating to the Boeing Company.
Communications to or from any person in the Office of the
General Counsel or the National Labor Relations Board referring or
relating to The Boeing Company, including but not limited to all
emails and call logs.
Documents in the custody or control of the Office of the
General Counsel or the National Labor Relations Board referring or
relating to the International Association of Machinists.
Communications to or from any person in the Office of the
General Counsel or the National Labor Relations Board referring or
relating to the International Association of Machinists, including
but not limited to all emails and call logs.
