Should A Company Be Allowed To Decide Where To Build A Factory ?

This is a link to a letter written by J. Michael Luttig, Executive Vice President & General Counsel for the Boeing Company to Lafe. E. Solomon, Acting General Counsel, National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).  The letter deals with some of the false accusations that Attorney Solomon has made against Boeing, including statements in the media, concerning the plans of Boeing to build a new plant in South Carolina.

The thing to remember here is that even if Boeing builds its plant in South Carolina and is successful in building the 787 Dreamliner there, the additional expense and aggravation that the NLRB is causing the company will serve as a warning to other companies planning to build manufacturing facilities in right-to-work states.  This is mob-style intimidation and does not belong in American government.

Attorney Luttig points out in his letter that the 787 Dreamliner production line to be built in South Carolina is a new production line and that building it in South Carolina will not cause anyone in Puget Sound or anywhere else to lose their job.

Please read the letter for yourself.  It exposes the lies being told on behalf of unions who do not want to see manufacturing move to right-to-work states.  It is unfortunate that they have government allies to help them discourage companies from moving wherever they choose to move..
