Candidate Calls IAM Complaint 'Harassment' Of Manufacturer
The National Labor Relations Board has announced that it has
closed its case in support of the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers, and against South Carolina
workers at Boeing's new 787 plant. Republican presidential
candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul is is excited enough by
the news to use it as the basis for a campaign statement.
The Congressman released a statement Saturday which reads,
"Hearing that the NLRB decided to stop pursuing its ongoing
harassment of Boeing was welcomed news. I would like to think this
is more than just a political move by the Obama administration with
an election year looming, but experience tells me otherwise.
"I have long been an advocate for the rights of workers to work
without interference by big government, often acting as facilitator
for big labor. My unblemished voting record on the issue of right
to work, according to the National Right To Work Committee, is a
testament to that fact.
"The idea that government bureaucrats, acting to empower union
officials, would try to stop a private company from building a new
plant is an affront to the very principles of economic liberty this
country was founded upon. These are principles I have pledged to
uphold my entire career.
"As President I will work to repeal all federal laws that force
workers and employers to submit to union officials and their
enforcers in the federal bureaucracy."
