UPDATE: The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is also getting into the Act. This letter includes an extensive document request for: 1) materials referring or relating to investigation of Boeing including communications between the office and the NLRB; 2) documents, emails, call logs and communications between the office, NLRB and the International Association of Machinists, the union representing certain Boeing workers; 3) documents, emails, call logs and communications between the office, NLRB and Boeing; and, 4) documents referring or relating to the office’s investigations of union election laws in Arizona, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.
Looks like some long weekends coming up in the Acting General Counsel’s office.
Original post follows…
Today, Republican Members of the House Education and the Workforce Committee demanded the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) end its job-destroying activist agenda. In a letter to NLRB Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon, members describe a number of actions by the Obama labor board that call into question the objectivity and credibility of the office, including the NLRB’s most recent effort to force The Boeing Company to relocate a South Carolina assembly line to Washington.
As the Republican members note, “Taken together, your actions threaten future economic growth and job creation and reflect an unsavory culture of union favoritism. We demand you cease your bureaucratic activism immediately and restore the objectivity that is essential to the effectiveness and credibility of the General Counsel’s office.”
Education and the Workforce Republican signees include:
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC)
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC)
