 BOEING BEING BULLIED BY UNIONS AND THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the National Labor 
Relations Board has filed a complaint against the Boeing Corporation to 
stop thousands of jobs at the currently built 1.2 million square foot 
production facility in South Carolina. This is the second line for 787 
jetliners which are so popular due to 20 percent less fuel use than any 
other airplane of its size.
  Manufacturing employees locate in South Carolina due to the welcoming 
climate provided by the right-to-work laws, with trained workers 
educated at world-class technical colleges. Boeing has a right to 
contract to work where it's in the best interest of its shareholders 
and workers.
  I appreciate Governor Nikki Haley leading the defense of our workers 
against the Obama administration's attack. I am grateful Attorney 
General Alan Wilson is recruiting fellow attorneys general across 
America to protect jobs. South Carolina is fortunate to have America's 
youngest Governor and America's youngest attorney general energetically 
standing up for freedom of American workers.
  Welcome to Washington Adjutant General Bob Livingston, former 218th 
commander in Afghanistan, with Legislative Liaison Matt Nichols.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
