             SOUTH CAROLINA WINS THE FIGHT AGAINST THE NLRB

  (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, last Friday the National 
Labor Relations Board announced that they had approved the requests by 
the International Association of Machinists to withdraw its complaint 
against Boeing. For the past year, the President's National Labor 
Relations Board has played the role of a Big Labor bully by threatening 
the jobs of hardworking South Carolinians by stalling the second line 
of the 787 Dreamliner production in Charleston.
  Boeing chose to locate in South Carolina due to its welcoming 
business climate due in large part to its right-to-work laws. Instead 
of rewarding unions for their political investments, I urge the current 
administration to enact policies protecting the rights of workers and 
allowing for growth of small businesses creating jobs. The lesson of 
this NLRB intrusion is clear: do not locate your facilities in union 
States because if you enter, like a roach motel, you cannot leave.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the global war on terrorism.
