GOP Senators Blast NLRB Boeing Complaint, Call for Acting General Counsel's
Explanation
Posted May 3, 2011, 3:54 P.M. ET
The 10 Republican senators on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
Committee told the National Labor Relations Board's Acting General Counsel Lafe E. Solomon
today that they strongly disagree with his decision to issue an unfair labor practice
complaint alleging that Boeing Co. illegally transferred airliner production from Washington
to South Carolina, and they will expect a greater explanation of the action when Solomon's
nomination to become general counsel is taken up by the committee.
In a letter to the acting general counsel signed by Ranking Member Michael B. Enzi (R-Wyo.)
and the other nine Republicans on the committee, the senators said they question the legal
reasoning and motive behind the complaint and the chilling effect that the case may have
on business decisions across the country.
The senators acknowledged that the NLRB proceeding against Boeing is still in the early
stages, but said there is a need for the Board to explain the reasoning in this case to
Congress.
A hearing before an NLRB administrative law judge currently is scheduled to begin June 14.

Ninth Circuit Rules SOX Does Not Protect Boeing Auditors' Disclosures to
Newspaper
Two information technology auditors for Boeing Co. who were fired for providing internal
company information and documents to a newspaper reporter cannot proceed with
whistleblower claims under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act because the statute does not protect
disclosures to the media, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled today (Tides v.
NLRB-FOIA-00000519
Boeing Co., 9th Cir., No. 10-35238, 5/3/11).
Affirming summary judgment to Boeing, the Ninth Circuit said SOX, at 18 U.S.C.
1514A(a)(1), specifically enumerate only three categories of recipients to whom employees
of publicly traded companies may report conduct they believe constitutes fraud or a
securities violation: federal regulatory and law enforcement agencies, members of Congress,
and employee supervisors. Members of the media are not included, the court said.
If Congress had intended to protect employee reports to the media, it would have added the
media as a recipient category, the court said. Alternatively, it said, Congress could have
drafted Section 1514A(a)(1) in a similar fashion to the Whistleblower Protection Act, which
protects any disclosure of specified information without limiting the recipients of such
information.
In so ruling, the Ninth Circuit rejected the employees' argument that reports to the media
may eventually cause information to be provided' to members of Congress or federal law
enforcement or regulatory agencies.
Adopting such a boundless interpretation of SOX would mean that virtually any disclosure
to any person or entity would qualify as protected whistleblower activity, provided the
information pertains to one of the stautorily-defined categories of unlawful conduct, the
court said. We decline to afford such an expansive meaning to the statutory language.
Judge Barry G. Silverman wrote the opinion of the court, joined by Judges Andrew J.
Kleinfeld and A. Wallace Tashima.

Administrator Only Required to Look at Plan in Denying Benefit Claim, Sixth Circuit
Says
The plan administrator for a transportation union's income protection program did not act
arbitrarily and capriciously in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act when
it denied income replacement benefits to a plan participant who was fired from his job for
insubordination, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled today (Farhner v. United
Transp. Union Discipline Income Prot. Program, 6th Cir., No. 09-4431, 5/3/11).
Affirming a lower court decision, the Sixth Circuit found that the express language of the
United Transportation Union Discipline Income Protection Program (DIPP) supported the
benefit denial. Under the plan, participants are ineligible for benefits if they have been
suspended or discharged for certain behavior, including insubordination.
In a decision by Judge Curtis L. Collier, the court rejected the participant's argument that the
administrator should have looked beyond the terms of the plan to consider whether his
discharge was proper. The court said the plan administrator was not required to look beyond
the plan language as it was unambiguous and did not require the administrator to do so.
The case involved Mark Farhner, a trackman and conductor for Kansas City Southern Railway
who was fired for insubordination during a dispute over whether he was entitled to take
medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. His claim for DIPP benefits from the
union was denied under a plan exclusion barring benefits for employment discharges

resulting from insubordination. He sued the DIPP plan, claiming violation of ERISA.

Divided Court Revives State Law Age Bias Claim of RIF'd Employee
A graphic artist terminated at age 57 during a reduction in force by a packaging company
raised a triable age discrimination claim under Missouri state law even though he has no
federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act claim, a divided U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Eighth Circuit ruled May 2 (Clark v. Matthews Int'l Corp., 8th Cir., No. 10-1037, 5/2/11).
In a 2-1 decision, an Eighth Circuit panel granted Matthews International Corp.'s petition to
rehear Eddy Clark's claim under the Missouri Human Rights Act, which the appeals panel
earlier had ordered dismissed without prejudice in its December 2010 decision affirming that
Clark lacked a triable age discrimination claim under the ADEA. A federal district court had
granted Matthews summary judgment on the state law age bias claim as well.
But rather than affirm summary judgment on the MHRA claim, the Eighth Circuit majority
ruled that Clark's evidence presents a jury issue of age discrimination under state law, which
requires plaintiffs to show age was a contributing factor in an adverse employment action.
In contrast, the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the federal ADEA to require that
plaintiffs show age was the but for cause or determining factor in an adverse action.
Although Clark lacks a triable ADEA claim, it does not necessarily follow from this conclusion
that Clark's evidence does not create a triable issue of fact regarding whether Clark's age
contributed to the adverse employment actions taken against him for purposes of the
MHRA, Judge Michael J. Melloy wrote for the majority. On this record, we could not say that
it would be unreasonable for a jury to conclude that Clark's age played a part in producing
the adverse employment actions he alleges.
In dissent, Judge Steven M. Colloton observed there is considerable irony in the court's
granting Matthews's petition to reconsider the state law issue over Clark's opposition and
then ruling that the employer must stand trial under the MHRA. The dissent would hold that
the Eighth Circuit got it right the first time when it declined supplemental jurisdiction over
the MHRA claim, leaving it up to Clark whether to pursue the matter in state court. Even
assuming the federal court has jurisdiction, summary judgment was properly granted on
Clark's state law claim because his evidence does not suggest age was even a contributing
factor in the RIF decision, Colloton said.

Boeing Complains of Misstatements by NLRB, Denies Transferring' Work to South
Carolina
Boeing Co.'s top lawyer, Executive Vice President and General Counsel J. Michael Luttig,
charged in a May 3 letter that National Labor Relations Board Acting General Counsel Lafe E.
Solomon and NLRB officials have mischaracterized the company's decision to build some of
its 787 Dreamliner airplanes in South Carolina as an unlawful transfer of work performed
by Washington state employees represented by the International Association of Machinists.
Solomon authorized an April 20 complaint alleging that Boeing illegally transferred some of
the planned assembly of its Dreamliners to South Carolina because employees at Boeing's
Puget Sound facilities supported lawful IAM strikes against the company (77 DLR AA-1,
4/21/11).
But Luttig argued in a letter to the acting general counsel that South Carolina workers will be
handling only new work needed to meet historic demand for the jetliner, which has not
yet gone into production.
Asserting that no worknone at allwas removed' or transferred' from Puget Sound, the
Boeing lawyer insisted that the company's creation of jobs in South Carolina has not
adversely affected any union-represented employee. He argued that the NLRB complaint
mischaracterized statements by Boeing officials in support of its allegation that the
company's building a second assembly line in South Carolina was improperly motivated by
the lawful union activity of its Puget Sound employees.

Solis Touts FY 2012 Budget Request Before Senate Subcommittee Hearing
The administration's fiscal year 2012 budget request for the Labor Department would provide
targeted investments to help place workers in jobs, prepare workers with job skills, and
1
NLRB-FOIA-00000523
ensure an equitable labor market for firms and workers, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis told a
Senate panel today.
Speaking before a Senate Appropriations Committee's subcommittee, Solis told lawmakers
that proposed $12.8 billion in discretionary funding would achieve the goal of good jobs for
everyone.
Ranking member Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) criticized the administration's request that cuts
discretionary spending by 5 percent compared to FY 2010 levels.
While the Department of Labor should be recognized for cutting spending, a feat not
accomplished by every department in FY 2012, I do not believe a 5 percent reduction within
the Department of Labor goes far enough, Shelby said. In this difficult economic
environment, we need to cut spending today.

Many Workers Use Social Networking Sites in Job Hunt
Although just 1 percent of U.S. workers found their latest jobs through social media
websites, 22 percent are using such sites in their job hunt, according to survey results
released today by Kelly Services.
At the same time, many workers are apprehensive about potential career fallout from
personal content on social networking sites and report that their employers have policies
restricting their use at work, the Troy, Mich.-based temporary staffing and consulting firm
said.
There is no doubt that social networking has fundamentally changed the way people search
for work and exchange information about career opportunities, Michael Webster, executive
vice president and general manager of Kelly Services, said.

Expansion in Services Sector Weakened in April
Overall economic activity in service-providing industries expanded in April but at a slower
pace than in the prior month, the Institute for Supply Management said today.
ISM's index of activity in the nonmanufacturing sector declined to 52.8 percent seasonally
adjusted, down 4.5 percentage points from 57.3 percent in March and the lowest reading
since August 2010, the Tempe, Ariz.-based research group said. Overall, the services sector,
which accounts for about two-thirds of the U.S. economy, continued to grow last month for
the 17th consecutive month.
Anthony Nieves, chair of ISM's nonmanufacturing survey committee, said comments from
purchasing and supply managers surveyed in April showed that they are mixed about
overall business conditions but are mostly positive. At the same time, they expressed
NLRB-FOIA-00000524
concerns about rising fuel and other commodity costs and the lingering uncertainty about
the economy, he said.

Highway Worker Afraid of Heights Has Triable ADA Claims, Seventh Circuit Says
Posted May 10, 2011, 4:37 P.M. ET
A state highway maintainer on a bridge crew in Illinois who was diagnosed with acrophobia,
a fear of heights, can proceed to trial on his claims that he was fired because of his disability
in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh
Circuit ruled today (Miller v. Ill. Dep't of Transp., 7th Cir., No. 09-3143, 5/10/11).
Reversing a district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT), the Seventh Circuit held that a reasonable jury could conclude that
IDOT regarded Darrell Miller as substantially limited in the major life activity of working.
Upon learning about Miller's formal diagnosis, the court said, IDOT immediately prevented
Miller from performing any bridge crew duties, including ones that could be conducted from
the ground, and placed him on nonoccupational disability status.
The appellate court said a reasonable jury also could find that performing work above 25 feet
in an exposed position is not an essential function of a bridge crew highway maintainer, and
that Miller's accommodation request, which involved IDOTs substituting him for other team
members on tasks requiring work at such heights, was reasonable given that his crew
already had a history of swapping tasks among members based on their strengths and
limitations.
Additionally, the Seventh Circuit ruled a triable issue of fact exists as to whether IDOT's
proffered reason for terminating Miller, based on his alleged threat against a personnel
manager, was a pretext for retaliation in response to his reasonable accommodation
requests.
In its ruling, the Seventh Circuit relied on case law, and statutory and regulatory provisions
in existence prior to the enactment of the ADA Amendments Act, which went into effect on
Jan. 1, 2009.
Judge David F. Hamilton wrote the court's opinion, joined by Judges Richard A. Posner and
Ilana D. Rovner.

Legislators, Business Groups Rip Solomon, White House in NLRB Boeing Case
Posted May 10, 2011, 4:52 P.M. ET
Republican legislators today joined South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) and executives from
several national business associations in criticizing National Labor Relations Board Acting
General Lafe E. Solomon for authorizing a controversial unfair labor practice complaint
against Boeing Co. Meanwhile, some of the speakers at a U.S. Chamber of Commerce press
conference called on President Obama to weigh in on the dispute or withdraw Solomon's
nomination to serve a full term as NLRB general counsel.
The press conference followed a meeting between the legislators and more than 60 business
leaders that was convened to discuss the NLRB complaint, which alleges that Boeing
unlawfully decided to locate some manufacturing of its 787 Dreamliner jets to South Carolina
in retaliation for the involvement of employees in Washington in lawful economic strikes led
by the International Association of Machinists.
Haley said we are demanding that the president respond to what the NLRB has done,
because this goes against everything we know our American economy to be.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he wants to ask President Obama whether the White House has
assembled an enemies list targeting Republican states.
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said he will offer legislation by the end of the week to
protect state right-to-work laws and limit the authority of NLRB over business decisions on
plant sites, but Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said the president could fix the Boeing
litigation immediately by removing Solomon's nomination to a full term as NLRB general
counsel.
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions
Committee, reacted quickly to the criticism of NLRB, saying Republicans have attacked a
routine unfair labor practice charge with an overly dramatic response and disturbing
misinformation that he said has needlessly complicated the legal process and distorted the
public discussion of this case.

NLRB Complaint Against CNA Alleges Unlawful Inclusion of Statement in Contracts
Posted May 10, 2011, 4:10 P.M. ET
The National Labor Relations Board has issued a complaint against the California Nurses
Association/National Nurses United alleging the union unlawfully included a Weingarten
rights statement on or inside the cover of a number of collective bargaining agreements,
without the consent or agreement of the employers.
The complaint, which was issued at the end of April in response to an unfair labor practice
charge filed by Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital in Valencia, also alleges that CNA
violated Section 8(b)(1)(A) of the National Labor Relations Act by restraining and coercing
employees in the exercise of their rights guaranteed in Section 7 of the act.
NLRB-FOIA-00000533
James J. McDermott, the regional director for Region 31 in Los Angeles scheduled a hearing
on the complaint for Aug. 1 before an NLRB administrative law judge.
According to the complaint, CNA represents at least 2,000 registered nurses at Henry Mayo,
and the current contract runs from Jan. 22, 2009, through Jan. 21, 2012.
In April 2009, the parties reached agreement on that contract. When CNA printed the
contract in October 2010 it included a statement on the back cover telling nurses they must
request that a union representative be called into any disciplinary meetings. The hospital
objected, alleging it did not agree to the inclusion of the statement, and that the statement
implies that employees must request a Union representative during investigatory meetings,
and therefore, employees are not free to exercise their Section 7 right to avoid union activity
altogether.
Mori Pam Rubin, the deputy regional attorney in NLRB Region 31, told BNA today that the
hospital filed an unfair labor practice charge with the board alleging that CNA systematically
includes this unlawful overbroad statement on many, if not all, of its contracts throughout
the nation. The hospital also alleged that the union includes this statement unilaterally,
without the agreement of the other employer parties to those agreements, she said.

Employee Did Not Exhaust Claim That Employer Retaliated by Filing Counterclaims,
Tenth Circuit Finds
Posted May 10, 2011, 5:17 P.M. ET
An accounting and finance director who was fired by a New Mexico security service provider
failed to exhaust her administrative remedies with respect to her claim that the company
retaliated against her in violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and New Mexico law
by filing counterclaims in her discrimination lawsuit, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth
Circuit has decided (McDonald-Cuba v. Santa Fe Protective Servs. Inc., 10th Cir., No. 10-
2151, 5/9/11).
Lynn McDonald-Cuba, who was fired for starting a competing company, needed to file a new
charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging that the counterclaims
constituted retaliation, but she did not do so, the Tenth Circuit found. The employer
counterclaimed for breach of contract, breach of duty of loyalty, and intentional interference
with prospective economic advantage.
The court vacated summary judgment to Santa Fe Protective Services (SFPS) on McDonald-
Cuba's retaliation claim and remanded it to the U.S. District Court for the District of New
Mexico with instructions to dismiss it without prejudice because of lack of jurisdiction.
Meanwhile, summary judgment to SFPS was proper on McDonald-Cuba's other Title VII
claims that the company engaged in sex discrimination and retaliation when it fired her and
that it retaliated against her by making false statements to third parties about her alleged
conflict of interest and about her discharge, Judge Stephen H. Anderson wrote for the
appeals court in the May 9 decision.

NLRB
Republican lawmakers joined South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) and executives from several national
business associations May 10 in criticizing National Labor Relations Board Acting General Counsel Lafe E.
Solomon for authorizing a controversial unfair labor practice complaint against Boeing Co.
Some participants at a press conference held by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce called on President Obama to
weigh in on the dispute or withdraw Solomon's nomination to serve a full term as NLRB general counsel.
The press conference followed a meeting between the lawmakers and more than 60 business leaders that was
convened to discuss the NLRB complaint, which alleges that Boeing unlawfully decided to locate some
manufacturing of its 787 Dreamliner jets in South Carolina in retaliation for the involvement of Washington
state employees in lawful economic strikes led by the International Association of Machinists.
We are demanding that the president respond to what the NLRB has done, because this goes against everything
we know our American economy to be, Haley said.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he wants to ask President Obama whether the White House has assembled an
enemies list targeting Republican states.
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said he will offer legislation by the end of the week that would protect state
right-to-work laws and limit NLRB's authority, but Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said the president could fix
the Boeing litigation immediately by removing Solomon's nomination to a full term as NLRB general counsel.
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, reacted
quickly to the criticism of NLRB, saying Republicans have attacked a routine unfair labor practice charge
with an overly dramatic response and disturbing misinformation that he said has needlessly complicated
the legal process and distorted the public discussion of this case.
Haley Calls NLRB Action an Unbelievable Attack.'
Randy Johnson, senior vice president of labor, immigration, and employee benefits for the chamber, said
Boeing has finished building the facility in North Charleston, S.C., where a nonunion workforce is expected to
build three Dreamliners per month, while IAM-represented employees in the Puget Sound area build seven per
month. The union filed a March 2010 unfair labor practice charge alleging that the decision to move some
production from Washington to South Carolina was unlawful discrimination against the union-represented
workers, and NLRB's April 20 complaint against the company makes the same allegation (77 DLR AA-1,
4/21/11).
Calling the East Coast aircraft production new work that was not taken away from the IAM-represented
workers, Johnson said the precedent that the NLRB is attempting to establish here is so fundamentally unsound
and troublesome that it cannot be ignored, explaining the chamber's decision to host a meeting that several
speakers called an urgent session.
Haley told reporters that the Boeing dispute is an issue that may have started in South Carolina, but we want to
make sure that it never touches another state.
Stating that job creation will be key in the United States in coming years, Haley said the effect of the NLRB
complaint was to tell businesses that not only could they not do business in a right-to-work state, but that they
should create jobs overseas. That's what the president is saying through Lafe Solomon, Haley said.
NLRB-FOIA-00000540
President Obama has got to speak upwe need to see leadership, Haley added. The president, she said, has
to tell us, if we can't create new jobs this way, how exactly are we supposed to create jobs.
The South Carolina governor called the complaint against Boeing an unbelievable attack on not just right-to-
work states but every state that is attempting to put their people to work.
Lawmakers Defend Boeing, Criticize White House,
Graham said Boeing made the decision to locate some of its Dreamliner production in South Carolina after the
company received more orders than expected. They had a dilemma of expanding businesses, which is a great
dilemma to have, he said. The company consulted with the Washington state unions representing Boeing
employees, Graham said, but made a decision to locate its second assembly line in South Carolina after
considering its options, which included an attractive package of incentives from the state of South Carolina.
The senator said under the law the company had a right to make the decision it did, but NLRB's acting general
counsel has issued a complaint Graham called chilling. If a chief executive officer's remarks about the cost of
doing business in one location can prevent the firm from ever relocating to another location, he warned, you're
going to destroy the economy.
Graham commented that Bill Daley, former secretary of commerce during the Clinton administration and now
Obama's chief of staff, served on Boeing's board of directors in 2009 when the board approved the building of
Boeing's second production line in South Carolina. Graham argued that either the Obama vetters who
considered Daley for the White House job considered the NLRB complaint against Boeing without merit, or
they went and hired someone who busts unions at the White House.
The senator also said Obama named Boeing's Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney to the President's Export
Council. The Daley and McNerney appointments, he said, are the best evidence that the NLRB complaint
against the aircraft manufacturer is frivolous.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) joined Haley and Graham, and called NLRB's action on the unfair labor practice
charge pandering to unions, while Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) complained that the NLRB action undermined
Haley's ability to recruit businesses to build in South Carolina. Clearly, Wilson said, Boeing's decision to
conduct some of its Dreamliner production in South Carolina is not retaliationthis is creating jobs.
Rand Paul began with a question for the president: Mr. President, do you have an enemies list? Paul
questioned whether the decision made in the Boeing case was made because the state appears to be a
Republican state, with two Republican senators, or whether the complaint was issued because South Carolina
is a right-to-work state.
Noting that Kentucky has two Republican senators, Paul asked, Are we on your enemies list? Questioning
whether the government was saying businesses could not locate in states that happened to be Republican, Paul
said I find this appalling and I expect the president to immediately rescind this assault on business.
Alexander Nearing Final Draft of Legislation
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said he, Graham, DeMint, and Paul are continuing to work on legislation, the
proposed Right to Work Protection Act (85 DLR A-10, 5/3/11), which he called important for every state in the
country and for manufacturers trying to determine whether they will be able to manufacture in the United States
the products they sell in this country.
I can't think of one single action the federal government could take that would make it harder to bring new jobs
into Tennessee than this Boeing complaint, if it were to become the law, Alexander said.
Alexander said Nissan and other automakers decided to build cars in right-to-work states in the Southeast
because of the different union environment offered in those states. Nissan now says it will make in the United
States 85 percent of what the company sells here, Alexander said, and said that's what we want.
Alexander said the draft legislation would strength the protection of right-to-work laws under the NLRA, and
would prevent NLRB from going forward with its case against Boeing or attempting the same strategy against
other companies. The legislation would limit the board from ordering an employer not to relocate jobs from
one location to another, he said, and would guarantee an employer's right to decide where it should do business.
The Tennessee senator said the proposed legislation also would protect the right of an employer to engage in
free speech on the subject of the costs associated with having a unionized work force without fear of such
communication being used as evidence in an anti-union discrimination case.
NLRB-FOIA-00000541
Alexander said there have been a number of senators interested in the proposed Right to Work Act. He said a
draft of the bill will be circulated in the next day or two and he expects it to be introduced by the end of the
week. He observed that 22 states are right-to-work states and some have Democratic senators who may support
the bill.
Business Groups Join in Protest
John Engler, former Republican governor of Michigan and now president of the Business Roundtable, said his
group considers the NLRB complaint against Boeing a threat not only to the airplane builder, but to every
company headquartered in the United States.
Engler said his group represents companies with nearly $6 trillion in annual revenues and approximately 13
million employees. The group's view, he said is that the NLRB complaint is wrong-headed and unsupported
by legal precedent, but would establish an ominous precedent limiting the ability of companies to settle in the
most attractive and competitive business environments they can identify.
The Business Roundtable president asked NLRB to step back from the Boeing complaint, and suggested that
President Obama should clarify his position on the issue, while Congress acts on legislation to ensure that this
never again should become an issue.
Dan Yager, chief policy officer and general counsel of HR Policy Association, representing the chief human
resource officers of more than 320 U.S. companies, said his group has not seen the Boeing controversy as a
right-to-work versus non-right-to-work issue.
What happened in the case against Boeing, Yager said, is that the company has been penalized for being open
and discussing management concerns with the union representative of its Puget Sound employees before going
forward. The company had the right under its collective bargaining agreement to decide plant locations without
bargaining, Yager said, and simply tried to work issues out through discussions that were unsuccessful.
Yager said he believes that Boeing will win the unfair labor practice case brought against it. He said if the
acting general counsel's view of labor relations is correct, of what the law is, then labor relations in this country
is much more broken that I certainly thought it was.
Graham Calls for White House Intervention
In answer to a question about the president's role in a case that is being handled by an independent federal
agency, Graham said he understands NLRB's independence, but he said this is legal slander, for lack of a better
word and called the Boeing complaint out of bounds when it comes to precedent.
Graham said there was no precedent for a case like the one against Boeing because nobody in their right mind
would make these conclusions unless you had an agenda beyond the law.
Graham said the NLRB complaint is going nowhere and Boeing will stay in South Carolina. The reason
we're pushing back, he said, is that the president has made some appointments at NLRB that are out of the
mainstream. Graham said the consequences of the complaint against Boeing could be absolutely devastating
and said political appointees have made job creating very difficult.
The president could fix this, Graham said. He could remove the nomination of Mr. Solomon, who will never
see the light of day in the Senate.
Harkin Sees Assault on the Middle Class.'
In a statement released shortly after the press conference, Harkin said [w]hat we are really witnessing here is
another example of the Republican assault on the middle class that has been echoing across the country for
months now.
Instead of focusing on how we can get Americans working again and get the middle class back on its feet,
Republicans have chosen to spend their time attacking the handling of a routine unfair labor practice charge.
This overly dramatic response and the disturbing misinformation they are peddling has needlessly complicated
the legal process and distorted the public discussion of this case, Harkin said.
The Iowa senator added that opponents of workers' rights have also mischaracterized the fundamental issue at
stake, suggesting that this case represents an assault on right to work' laws, an assertion he called just
factually incorrect.
Harkin said unions are one of the few voices left in our society speaking up for the little guy, and if we let
powerful CEOs trample all over these rights without consequences, we might as well give up on having a
middle class altogether.

NLRB-FOIA-00000542
Harkin said his Senate committee will hold a hearing Thursday on why the middle class is increasingly
slipping out of reach for Americans. The Boeing litigation will likely come up for discussion; among the
witnesses scheduled to appear are Boeing General Counsel J. Michael Luttig, who has been very critical of the
NLRB complaint, and Sarah Fox, a former Democratic NLRB member who now serves as legal counsel to the
AFL-CIO.
Solomon said in a May 9 statement on the NLRB website that the complaint against Boeing is just the
beginning of a legal process that will move forward to a hearing on June 14 and consideration by an
administrative law judge and the board. We hope all interested parties respect the legal process, rather than
trying to litigate this case in the media and public arena, he said.

Harry Reid Tells GOP To Stop Pressuring
Independent Labor Agency
Benjy Sarlin | May 11, 2011, 11:24AM
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV)
[Cancel]
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) defended the National Labor Relations Board on Wednesday amid a concentrated attack
from prominent Republicans around the country, accusing conservative critics of meddling with an independent federal agency.
"We need agencies like the NLRB to be able to operate freely and without political pressures," he said in a floor speech. "We
need to keep our independent agencies independent. This case is for them to decide, not us."
1
NLRB-FOIA-00000553
Led by Governor NIkki Haley (R-SC) and Sens. Lindsey Graham and Jim Demint (R-SC), Republicans have been waging an
increasingly loud battle against the NLRB over a lawsuit alleging that Boeing illegally retaliated against unions in Washington
State by opening a production line in South Carolina. Yesterday, they demanded at a press conference that the White House
condemn the suit, with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) even suggesting the president may be involved in a vast conspiracy to target
GOP states.
Reid said in his remarks that he was not defending the merits of the NLRB's case, only the neutrality and independence of the
NLRB in their handling of the law. He added that Republicans' attacks fed into a larger campaign against unions.
"They're threatened because when a large, organized group is so concerned with workers' rights, the members of that group vote
in large numbers. And because Republicans and the big businesses they defend so often try to take away workers' rights,
workers don't often vote Republican," he said. "But this kind of interference is inappropriate. It is disgraceful and dangerous.
We wouldn't allow threats to prosecutors or U.S. Attorneys, trying to stop them from moving forward with charges they see fit
to bring to the courts and we shouldn't stand for this."

Senator Reid's Full Statement
Newsroom
May 11, 2011
Reid: We Must Keep Independent Agencies Independent, Allow
Them To Operate Freely And Without Political Pressure
http://democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=332789&
Washington, D.C.Nevada Senator Harry Reid made the following remarks today regarding the National
Labor Relations Board. Below are his remarks as prepared for delivery:
In a partisan environment, there is the temptation turn every issue into a political issue. We certainly live in
one of those environments.
Thats regrettable, but far from unfamiliar. Politics play a role in our representative government, of course,
and they always have. The Founders created a system of checks and balances three branches of government,
for example, and two chambers of the Congress precisely because they anticipated these passions. They
wanted to keep us from losing our way.
Long after that system was created, a new independent federal agency was created in the same spirit of checks
and balances. That agency is the National Labor Relations Board, and it acts as a check on employers and
employees alike. It safeguards employees rights to unionize or not to unionize, if they so choose. It mediates
allegations of unfair labor practices. And it does all this independent of any outside influence.
The acting general counsel of the NLRB is a man who is as nonpartisan and independent as the agency he
works for. Last month, he issued a complaint against one of Americas largest companies, Boeing. The
1
NLRB-FOIA-00000556
complaint alleges that after Boeing workers in some states went on strike, the company retaliated by opening a
new production line in a non-union facility. That kind of retaliation, if thats what happened, is illegal.
Thats just the background. Im not here to judge the merits of the case. In fact, Im here to do the exact
opposite: to remind the Senate that prejudging the case is not our job. That would overstep long-established
boundaries and weaken our system of checks and balances.
Lately, though, some of our Republican colleagues have attacked the NLRB and tried to poison the decision-
making process. They are interfering with case pending before a legal body.
For example, every Republican Senator on the HELP Committee the L in HELP stands for labor, of course
sent the acting general counsel a letter defending Boeing. The letter itself, sent six weeks before a hearing
even takes place, seems questionable at best. But these 10 Republicans went further: they went out of their way
to link their request to the acting general counsels pending nomination. Sounds like intimidation to me.
Thats not all. Eight state attorneys general, all Republicans, also signed a letter to the acting general counsel,
calling on him to withdraw the complaint against Boeing again, long before an administrative judge has the
opportunity to review the case.
I strongly encourage all of them to take a step back. We all know Republicans dislike organized labor. We
know they disdain unions because unions demand fairness and equality from the big businesses Republicans so
often shield at all costs.
And lets be honest: Republicans are threatened by unions. Theyre threatened because when a large,
organized group is so concerned with workers rights, the members of that group vote in large numbers. And
because Republicans and the big businesses they defend so often try to take away workers rights, workers dont
often vote Republican.
But this kind of interference is inappropriate. It is disgraceful and dangerous. We wouldnt allow threats to
prosecutors or U.S. Attorneys, trying to stop them from moving forward with charges they see fit to bring to the
courts. And we shouldnt stand for this. It may not be illegal, but its no better than the retaliation and
intimidation that is the fundamental question in this case. It should stop.
We need agencies like the NLRB to be able to operate freely and without political pressures. We need to keep
our independent agencies independent. This case is for them to decide, not us.

Interesting article from the DLR this morning
Work Stoppages
Major Strikes, Lockouts in 2008 Idled
Fewer Workers, Caused More Lost Work Time
Major lockouts and strikes idled less than half as many employees in 2008 than the previous year but
resulted in 55 percent more lost workdays, according to figures released Feb. 11 by the Labor
Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The number of new strikes or lockouts involving 1,000 workers or more declined last year to 15, down
from 21 in 2007 and the fewest since 14 in 2003, BLS reported.
Those initiated in 2008 idled 72,000 workers, 117,000 fewer than the 189,000 employees involved in
major work stoppages the prior year.
On the other hand, the amount of work time lost because of all major work stoppages that occurred
last year, including those that began in 2007 and continued in 2008, rose to almost 2.0 million days,
an increase of 55 percent from the 1.3 million lost workdays the preceding year.
Of the 15 strikes and lockouts initiated in 2008, 12 were in the private sector and three were in state
and local government, all in education. Private sector strikes and lockouts accounted for 84 percent of
all workers idled and 97 percent of total workdays lost, BLS said.
Within private industry, manufacturing accounted for the highest number of new work stoppages last
year, at six, followed by health care, with three.
Including one strike that began in 2007 and continued in 2008, 16 major work stoppages were in
effect for at least part of last year, down from 24 in 2007.
The largest work stoppage initiated last year in terms of both lost workdays and employees was the
International Association of Machinists' walkout at Boeing Co. plants in Washington and Oregon,
which idled 27,000 workers and resulted in just over 1 million days of lost work time. The strike ended
Nov. 1 when union members approved a new collective bargaining agreement (213 DLR A-10,
11/4/08).
The next largest work stoppage last year was the nationwide strike by the Writers Guild of America
against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, lasting 68 days from November 2007
to February 2008, when union members ratified a new contract (39 DLR A-1, 2/28/08). Some 10,500
writers were idled, resulting in a total of 630,000 lost workdays over the entire period, about half in
2008.
The longest work stoppage that began in 2008 was the job action by the United Auto Workers against
American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc., which idled 3,600 workers at plants in Michigan and
New York for 63 days. The strike, which ended May 22 after the company and the union reached a
1
NLRB-FOIA-00000558
tentative agreement (97 DLR A-8, 5/20/08), also was the second largest in terms of lost work time, at
more than one-quarter million workdays.
The average duration of major work stoppages initiated last year was 14.9 days, up from 10.5 days
on average in 2007, but nine of the 15 new strikes or lockouts lasted 10 days or less.

Subject: letter from South Carolina and 8 other state ag's about lawsuits
Please see below; Now there are 9 states going after us. Bloomberg asks if we have a response.
Columbia - South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and eight (8) other state attorneys general have
replied to a complaint filed against Boeing Corporation by the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The
complaint charges Boeing with the commission of an unfair labor practice, but appears to do so without legal
and factual foundation. The board claims Boeing is prohibited from expanding production of its planes beyond
the reach of unions currently associated with its workers in Washington State. South Carolina is a staunch right
to work state. In reality, Boeing expanded its production of 787 Dreamliners to South Carolina last year in
response to increase in demand. What the NLRB complaint fails to mention is the increased demand for the
planes prompted the creation of over 2,000 new jobs in Washington State first, and continued demand
subsequently required an expansion facility in South Carolina. Recognizing the dangerous precedent this
NLRB-FOIA-00000658
aggressive action could set against the right to work, job creation, and economic growth in many states, the
attorneys general wrote:
"This complaint represents an assault upon the constitutional right of free speech, and the ability of our states
to create jobs and recruit industry. Your ill-conceived retaliatory action seeks to destroy our citizens' right to
work. It is South Carolina and Boeing today, but will be any of our states, with our right to work guarantees,
tomorrow."
"...this tenuous complaint will reverberate throughout union and non-union states alike, as international
companies will question the wisdom of locating in a country where the federal government interferes in industry
without cause or justification."
"Our states are struggling to emerge from one of the worst economic collapses since the Depression. Your
complaint further impairs an economic recovery. Intrusion by the federal bureaucracy on behalf of unions will
not create a single new job or put one unemployed person back to work."

Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon releases statement on Boeing complaint
From:

Office of Public Affairs

www.nlrb.gov
NLRB Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon today responded to inquiries regarding a complaint issued April 20 against the Boeing
Company with the following statement:
Contrary to certain public statements made in recent weeks, there is nothing remarkable or unprecedented about the complaint issued
against the Boeing Company on April 20. The complaint involves matters of fact and law that are not unique to this case, and it was
issued only after a thorough investigation in the field, a further careful review by our attorneys in Washington, and an invitation by me
to the parties to present their case and discuss the possibility of a settlement. Only then did I authorize the complaint alleging that
certain statements and decisions by Boeing officials were discriminatory under our statute.
It is important to note that the issuance of a complaint is just the beginning of a legal process, which now moves to a hearing before an
administrative law judge. That hearing, scheduled for June 14 in Seattle, is the appropriate time and place to argue the merits of the
complaint. The judges decision can further be appealed to the Board, and ultimately to the federal courts. At any point in this process,
the parties could reach a settlement agreement and we remain willing to participate in any such discussions at the request of either or
both parties. We hope all interested parties respect the legal process, rather than trying to litigate this case in the media and public
arena.
Mr. Solomon made the same point today in a brief written response to a letter received earlier this month from Boeing General Counsel
J. Michael Luttig.

Anti-union fight intensifies in S.C.
Critics: Effort distracts from real issues
By Gina Smith - McClatchy Newspapers

TEXT SIZE:
COLUMBIA -- Gov. Nikki Haley and the Republican-controlled legislature are working with increasing fervor to ensure that South
Carolina - long an anti-union state - is a place where businesses can set up and grow without fear of organized labor.
But with only 4.6 percent of the state's work force members of unions, state employees barred from organizing and no efforts under way
to change the state's right-to-work status, are unions a real threat to businesses?

NLRB-FOIA-00000687
Some Democrats and union leaders say the focus this year on anti-union legislation is a political ploy to distract South Carolinians from
the real problems plaguing the state.
Similar stories:

Senate confirms 2 picks for Haley Cabinet
But Republicans and some business officials say the focus is a preventative measure that will help pave the way for the state's
economic recovery.
To that end, S.C. politicians are working to shut out unions. Consider:
State lawmakers are considering a bill to exempt S.C. businesses from a proposed federal rule that would require them to notify
workers of their rights to unionize.
Haley has been sued in federal court by a machinists union for saying the state would try to keep unions out of the Boeing plant in
North Charleston. Plane maker Boeing chose the North Charleston site last year over one in Washington state because of South
NLRB-FOIA-00000688
Carolina's nonunion workers and state incentives given by legislators. The plant is the largest single industrial investment in state
history.
S.C. voters overwhelmingly approved a change in the state Constitution last November, guaranteeing workers the right to secret ballots
in union elections. The National Labor Relations Board has threatened to sue South Carolina, claiming the change is against federal
law.
Anti-union forces in South Carolina say they are nervous that President Obama and his appointees could create new federal rules that
provide new ins for unions.
"That's how they're going to try and get in," said Lewis Gossett, a labor lawyer who runs the S.C. Manufacturers Alliance.
Meanwhile, Democrats point to dwindling union enrollment across the nation and a growing anti-union sentiment, and they see no
reason to fear.
"Where's the threat? There isn't one," said state Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter, D-Orangeburg. "It's the most ridiculous marketing tool I've
ever seen. It's a wedge issue to keep people unfocused and not paying attention to the fact we're not creating jobs, not helping
education, not making the kind of changes that would improve this state."
Cobb-Hunter credits unions with helping build the nation's middle class. But, she added, they are losing steam to the point that most
business owners have no need to worry. "I don't think any company that pays a fair, livable wage and provides a good, safe working
environment has anything to worry about from unions," Cobb-Hunter said.
But J.J. Darby, director of the S.C. chapter of the small-business group the National Federation of Independent Business, said unions
have attempted to set up shop in small businesses in the past several years in Greenville and Charleston.
"We're aware there is activity, and it is causing our small businesses concern," he said. "And it's happening in small businesses, and it's
happening in businesses not associated with manufacturing. It's across the board."
Gossett, of the S.C. Manufacturers Association, said unions have no choice but to try to make in-roads into the South.
"Drive through the Midwest and the Northeast and look at unions' record - closed factories, one after the other, destroyed in part by the
inflexibility of union contracts," said Gossett, whose membership is overwhelmingly union-free. "They have declined in membership to
the point that they have nowhere else to go. If you're looking for a place to grow, you can't go back to the places where you destroyed
the industries. You want to come to places like here."
NLRB-FOIA-00000689
But Erin McKee, vice president of the S.C. chapter of the AFL-CIO, an umbrella group of unionized workers, said she rarely hears of
unions trying to get into South Carolina or expand.
"South Carolina is a tough place to set up a union," said McKee, of Charleston. "The biggest obstacle is usually that people get scared.
They want help, but they worry they'll get fired if they organize. And that's often the end of the unionization effort."
McKee points to examples where unions have increased safety in workplaces, raised salaries and given workers a voice. Despite that,
she said, South Carolina is increasingly anti-union.
"I don't understand it. I think we're moving in a direction where our governor and others would be happy if everybody worked for $8 an
hour with no benefits," she said.
South Carolina has opposed unions since about the 1880s, according to Hoyt Wheeler, a retired USC professor and labor expert. Then,
the promise of cheap, nonunion labor lured textile companies to the South from New England.
That anti-union sentiment still can be felt today.
Teachers and all other state employees do not have the right to collectively bargain or strike. South Carolina is also a right-to-work state,
meaning it is illegal to require union membership or dues payment as a condition of employment in the state.
The result: South Carolina has the sixth-lowest percentage of union members in the country, tied with Virginia. North Carolina has the
lowest, according to 2010 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"South Carolina has had the same strategy since the 1880s," Wheeler said. "But the whole idea of offering cheap labor is not a
competitive strategy anymore. China? India? We can't compete on that [wage] front anymore. I think South Carolina has other, better
things it can offer than this."
Business leaders say they are working to market the state on many fronts. But, they say, the state must hold the line on unions at the
same time to remain competitive.
"It's about flexibility for our businesses. It's about the fact that one company after another has died because of inflexible union work
rules," Gossett said. "In a global economy, you can't afford to work under those kinds of scenarios. You have to be able to work directly
with your employees."

seattletimes.com: Boeing lawyer rejects NLRB charges in 787 case

Boeing lawyer rejects NLRB charges in 787 case
In a forceful letter to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), top Boeing lawyer Michael
Luttig rejected the labor agency's complaint against the company's opening of a South
Carolina 787 plant, writing that its charges "fundamentally misquote or mischaracterize
statements by Boeing executives."

Social media trends
There were very few new angles to the Boeing case today, notwithstanding Grahams floor speech this morning.
The afternoon actually saw more traffic on the Reuters Twitter case than Boeing. A Littler blog lays out what Philip
Gordon, the author, believes are the basic parameters were using regarding social media and protected activity.
It also claims that we are collecting cases with the intention of revisiting Register Guard.

On Boeing, there was little new, mostly a rehash of the arguments already made. The letter from Boeing has not
yet made it to any of the social media channels. The letter from the HELP Republicans made the rounds a bit:

Reid on the Senate floor this morning
image001.jpg
MR. REID: MADAM PRESIDENT, I RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE IN A PARTISAN
ENVIRONMENT. AND IN A PARTISAN THERE IS TEMPTATION TO TURN
EVERY ISSUE INTO A POLITICAL ISSUE. WE CERTAINLY LIVE IN ONE OF
THOSE ENVIRONMENTS TODAY, AND THAT'S REGRETTABLE, BUT FAR FROM
UNFAMILIAR. POLITICS PLAY A ROLE IN OUR REPRESENTATIVE
GOVERNMENT AND OF COURSE THEY AS YOU HAVE. FOUNDERS CREATED A
SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES, THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT,
FOR EXAMPLE, AND TWO CHAMBERS OF THE CONGRESS BECAUSE THEY
{09:33:53} (MR. REID) { NOT AN OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT }
ANTICIPATED THIS. THEY WANTED TO KEEP US FROM LOSING OUR WAY.
LONG AFTER THAT SYSTEM WAS CREATED NEW INDEPENDENT FEDERAL
AGENCY WAS CREATED IN THE SAME SPIRIT OF CHECKS AN BALANCES.
THAT AGENCY IS THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD. IT ACTS AS A
CHECK ON EMPLOYERS AN EMPLOYEES ALIKE. IT SAFEGUARDS EMPLOYEES'
RIGHTS TO UNIONIZE OR NOT UNIONIZE. IT MEDIATES ALLEGATIONS OF
UNFAIR LABOR AND IT DOES IT OUTSIDE ANY INDEPENDENT, THE ACTING
GENERAL COUNSEL IS A MAN WHO IS AS NONPARTISAN AND INDEPENDENT
AS THE AGENCY HE WORK FOR. LAST WEEK THEY ISSUED A COMPLAINT
AGAINST BOEING. THE COMPLAINT ALLEGES AFTER BOEING WORKERS IN
SOME STATES WENT ON STRIKE, THE COMPANY RETALIATED WHILE
OPENING A NEW PRODUCTION LINE IN A NONUNION FACILITY. THAT KIND
OF RETALIATION IS ILLEGAL. THAT'S JUST THE BACKGROUND. I'M NOT
HERE TO JUDGE THE MERITS OF THE CASE. IN FACT, I'M HERE TO DO
THE EXACT OPPOSITE. TO REMIND THE SENATE THAT PREJUDGING THE
CASE IS NOT OUR JOB. THAT WOULD OVERSTEP LONG ESTABLISHED
VALUES AND WEAKEN THE SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND BALANCES. LATELY
THOUGH. SO OUR REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES HAVE ATTACKED THE NLRB AND
TRIED TO POISON THE DECISION PROCESS. FOR EXAMPLE, EVERY
REPUBLICAN SENATOR ON THE "HELP" COMMITTEE, AND, MADAM
PRESIDENT, LET'S REMIND EVERYONE THE L IN HELP STANDS FOR
LABOR, THEY SENT A LETTER TO THE ACTING GENERAL COUNSEL
DEFENDING BOEING. THE LETTER ITSELF WAS SENT SIX WEEKS BEFORE A

1
NLRB-FOIA-00000777
HEARING TAKES PLACE SEEMS QUESTIONABLE AT THE VERY BEST. BUT
THESE 10 REPUBLICANS WENT FURTHER. THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY
TO LINK THEIR REQUEST TO THE ACTING GENERAL COUNSEL'S PENDING
NOMINATION. IF THERE WERE EVER A CASE OF INTIMIDATION, THAT
SOUNDS LIKE IT TO ME. THAT'S NOT ALL. EIGHT STATE ATTORNEY
GENERAL ALL REPUBLICANS ALL SIGNED A LETTER TO THE ACTING
GENERAL COUNSEL CALLING ON HIM TO WITHDRAW THE COMPLAINT ON
BOEING. AGAIN, LONG BEFORE AN ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE HAS HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE CASE. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL OF
THEM TO TAKE A STEP BACK, MY REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES ON THE
"HELP" COMMITTEE AND THESE ATTORNEYS GENERAL. WE ALL KNOW THAT
REPUBLICANS DISLIKE ORGANIZED LABOR. WE KNOW THEY DISDAIN
UNIONS BECAUSE UNIONS DEMAND FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY FROM BIG
BUSINESSES. SO LET'S BE HONEST, REPUBLICANS ARE THREATENED BY
UNIONS. THEY'RE THREATENED BECAUSE WHEN A LARGE ORGANIZED GROUP
IS SO CONCERNED WITH WORKERS' RIGHTS, THE MEMBERS OF THAT GROUP
VOTE IN LARGE NUMBS AND BECAUSE REPUBLICANS AND BIG -- NUMBERS
AND BUS REPUBLICANS AND BIG BUSINESSES THEY DEFEND TAKE AWAY
WORKERS RIGHTS. THIS KIND OF INTERFERENCE IS INAPPROPRIATE,
IT'S DISGRACEFUL AND DANGEROUS. WE WOULDN'T ALLOW THREATS TO
PROSECUTORS OR U.S. ATTORNEYS TRYING TO STOP THEM FROM MOVING
FORWARD WITH CHARGES THEY SEE FIT TO BRING TO THE COURTS AND WE
SHOULDN'T STAND FOR THIS. IT MAY NOT BE ILLEGAL, BUT IT'S NO
BETTER THAN THE RETALIATION AND INTIMIDATION AND IT'S THE
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION IN THIS CASE AND SHOULD STOP. WE NEED
AGENCIES LIKE THE NLRB TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE FREELY AND WITHOUT
POLITICAL PRESSURES. WE NEED TO KEEP OUR INDEPENDENT AGENCIES
INDEPENDENT. IN THIS CASE IT'S FOR HOME TO DECIDE NOT FOR US TO
DECIDE. WOULD THE CHAIR NOW ANNOUNCE MORNING BUSINESS.

Expert Analysis
Who Has Jurisdiction Over CBA Disputes?
It has been long held that the Supreme Court favors the use of arbitration
for resolving employment contract disputes, yet the National Labor
Relations Board's argument that it has concurrent jurisdiction over all
matters relating to collective bargaining agreements would surely cause
industrial chaos, says Bruce Mills of B.F. Mills & Associates.
AT&T Mobility V. Concepcion: A Win For Class Waivers
The U.S. Supreme Court decision in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion
upholds the ability of companies to limit consumer class actions through
arbitration agreements and provides guidance on how best to do so. It also
strikes a major blow against positions strongly held by the plaintiffs class
action bar, say Benjamin Dwyer and Christopher Mason of Nixon Peabody
LLP.
Using Injunctions In 'Bet-The-Company' Litigation
The tool of injunctive relief can be very effective in preventing fatal harm to
businesses, but companies and their counsel need to be prepared for the
possibility of having to seek urgent relief in the courts, say Stephen Crain
and Jessica Hart of Bracewell & Giuliani LLP.
Legal Industry
Firms Fear Potential Pitfalls Of Alternative Fees
Most corporate clients now expect firms to offer alternative fees, and while
many do, some remain resistant to bailing on the billable hour in favor of
potentially riskier cost arrangements, according to a new survey of firm
leaders and in-house attorneys.
Arnstein & Lehr Snags Ill. Lawmaker For Gov't Group
Arnstein & Lehr LLP announced Wednesday that it had hired Illinois state
Rep. Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, as a partner to boost the Chicago-
based firm's governmental and municipal affairs practice.

Boeing's next delivery: bonuses
Despite lower revenue in 2010 than a year earlier and higher-than-expected spending on the
787 and 747-8 programs, Boeing booked $4.5 billion in pretax profits. As a result, about
48,500 Washington state employees will qualify for bonuses worth almost three weeks' extra
pay.

released the following statement responding to the comments made by Republican politicians at a press conference today
on the National Labor Relations Board investigation of the Boeing Company. On Thursday, Harkin will convene a HELP
Committee hearing to discuss why the middle class is increasingly slipping out of reach for Americans, at which the
General Counsel for Boeing will testify.
What we are really witnessing here is another example of the Republican assault on the middle class that has been
echoing across the country for months now. Instead of focusing on how we can get Americans working again and get the
middle class back on its feet, Republicans have chosen to spend their time attacking the handling of a routine unfair labor
practice charge. This overly dramatic response and the disturbing misinformation they are peddling has needlessly
complicated the legal process and distorted the public discussion of this case.
These opponents of workers rights have also mischaracterized the fundamental issue at stake, suggesting that this case
represents an assault on right to work laws. Thats just factually incorrect there is absolutely no way that the outcome
of this case could affect in any way the laws of any state.
This fight is about far more than just one group of workers in Washington State. Unions are one of the few voices left in
our society speaking up for the little guy, and if we let powerful CEOs trample all over these rights without consequences,
we might as well give up on having a middle class altogether.
Thats what this all comes down to: powerful corporate interests are pressuring public officials to interfere with an
1

independent agency, rather than let justice run its course. And we should not tolerate this interference. Instead, we should
turn our attention back to the issues that really matter to American families how we can create jobs in Washington, South
Carolina, Iowa, and across the country

Here is the best article (below) on "right to work states" and the lack of
U.S. uniform labor law I have ever seen by a business magazine. The
article captures the labor relations "state of the union" state of affairs
as well as any contemporary business article can.
The article is from the Economist (Apr 25). Unfortunately, it took a
publication based in the UK to put its finger on the pulse of the U.S.
labour (note the European spelling) law problem: lack of uniformity of its
labor laws in all states.
As I have said elsewhere a number of times, the only "cure" for this
problem (unless you are a states' righter) is a federal law that solves
the private sector and the public sector rights to unionize and bargain
collectively problem in one fell swoop--apply the right to organize and
bargain collectively to everybody.
Let's synthesize--federalize.

Democracy in AmericaBoeing's labour problems
Moving factories to flee unions
Apr 25th 2011, 14:16 by M.S.
..BOEING decided a few years ago to build its 787 Dreamliner in South
Carolina, the Wall Street Journal opines, because it was afraid its union
in Washington was too strong. South Carolina is a "right-to-work" state:
Title 41, Chapter 7 of the state code makes it illegal for companies and
unions to sign a contract in which anyone who works at the company has to
join the union. That makes it extremely difficult to organise effective
unions, and Boeing hoped it wouldn't have as many strikes at a plant in
South Carolina as it had experienced at its plants in Seattle in recent
years. The unions sued over the move, and the National Labor Relations
Board has now awarded them a preliminary order blocking the factory from
operating pending an investigation into whether the company's shift of
production to a union-hostile state in order to avoid union activity
constituted "anti-union animus".
To lay the groundwork here, it's important to understand what "right-to-
work" means. It doesn't mean "the government stays out of the labour
negotiations business". Right-to-work laws specifically ban employers and
unions from signing contracts stipulating that anyone who works at the
company has to join the union. That's a basic step that unions always try
2
NLRB-FOIA-00000896
to negotiate for, since without it they find it very hard to establish
themselves as the negotiating partner with management.
Anyway, here's the sentence I found most amusing in the WSJ's editorial:
"Boeing management did what it judged to be best for its shareholders and
customers and looked elsewhere." Boeing's motivation for shifting
production to an anti-union state was not to benefit customers. If Boeing
felt it could raise prices for the airplanes it builds without losing
market share, it would do so in a second, regardless of whether that was
"best for its customers". Companies try to lower operating costs in order
to raise profits or cut prices and win market share, not out of a selfless
desire to benefit customers.
But the more important flaw here is that the reason why Boeing might have
judged its decision to move production to South Carolina "best for its
shareholders" was that it didn't think it violated labour law to flee your
union. If it did violate labour law, then Boeing made a bad decision and
delivered negative value to its shareholders. To put things another way,
if America had labour laws that were uniform from state to state like any
other normal economic power, rather than a race-to-the-bottom system where
states are pressured to weaken labour laws in order to entice employers,
then there would have been no reason for Boeing to move production. There
is simply no moral content to Boeing's decision to move production to
South Carolina. Boeing doesn't get brownie points for engaging in
regulatory arbitrage and stiffing its unions just because it judged that
move to be best for shareholders. Congratulating Boeing for trying to
deliver shareholder value is like congratulating it for building and
selling airplanes. That's simply what the company does. Boeing's decision
was a judgment about how to play, given its evaluation of the rules of the
game. The question of whether companies should be allowed to flee their
unions is a question about what the rules of the game ought to be, in
order to deliver value to the economy and to society.
So, should companies be barred from moving production to a right-to-work
state to flee their unions? Niklas Blanchard thinks not. He calls it
"protectionism".
While I dont begrudge the right for unions to form and attempt to
bargain, I also dont begrudge the right of management the say, FU, were
going somewhere else. In an ideal world, they would do this free of
government playing for either side. But in this case, we have the
government contemplating restricting capital flows between states! The
United States, as understood properly, is the largest free trade area in
the world. That has been a huge comparative advantage for the US
historically, and arguably the reason that we are at the top of the world
economic pyramid today. Restricting the flow of capital makes us poorer by
reducing productive employment, and increasing prices. Its a very poor
precedent to set.
I think this is a confusing analogy. Mr Blanchard may be right that, given
that labour and other business laws differ from state to state, the United
States might best be understood as the world's largest free trade area,
rather than a single country. But does anyone think that the United States
3
NLRB-FOIA-00000897
would be a dramatically less prosperous country if it had uniform labour
and business law throughout its territory? Have right-to-work laws in 22
states made such an immense contribution to American prosperity that
without them America would not be the world's largest and wealthiest
economy? Really? Seriously? Would American technological ingenuity have
been crippled if the whole country had to follow the labour laws that
obtain in Silicon Valley?
I don't think so. I think if there were no right-to-work states, American
GDP wouldn't be significantly different than it is today. And if America
did have uniform labour laws, then Boeing's decision as to whether to
produce in Puget Sound or South Carolina would have nothing whatsoever to
do with unions. If labour laws in South Carolina and Washington were
equivalent, the only thing the workers in Puget Sound would have to worry
about is whether their demands would lead the company to lose market share
or to move production overseas. The first might be a real worry; the
latter is a marginal issue for Boeing workers because the company is a
defence industry-supported national champion firm.
Now maybe unionised Boeing workers should be more worried about hurting
the company's market share as it competes with EADS and with regional-jet
builders like Embraer and Bombardier. It certainly sounds like the company
has a strike problem. But EADS's labour force is hardly non-unionised. If
Boeing is having more trouble with its unions than its competitors are,
it's possible that the fault lies with the company, rather than with the
unions. What's happening here is that anti-labour laws in certain states
allow companies to shift investment to those states in order to get around
their unions. And efforts by unions to block that manoeuvre can then be
condemned as "restrictions on capital flow". The issue isn't freedom of
capital. The issue is whether employers can use a threat to move
production to a union-hostile state as a negotiating tactic in collective
bargaining.

Greetings all!
I am attaching a would-be editorial "states' rights" op-ed piece which the Washington Post
declined to publish.
I like it. It is "cutting," but so are scissors.
Don't get me wrong--I love the Post. I have read it every day for nearly the past eight
years. However, their Board is highly anti-organized labor, particularly public sector labor.
Their editorials have showed their colors clearly on many occasions, particularly to
Montgomery County (I don't know why they love to pick on Montgomery County, MD--but they do).
In this piece I take issue with Kathleen Parker's Post column of April 24, in which she
declares "war" on the NLRB who decided the recent Boeing case in favor of the union --and
declares that the decision "is tossing a Kobe tender loin" to the South Carolina
conservatives (which I guess she thinks is a good thing).
My piece points out that "right to work" states represent pretty much the "at will"
employment doctrine, and that citizens of this country have not declared at will and states
rights' employment systems as their preference. The decision of the NLRB represents a "big
picture" approach which is sorely needed , and my article says to the contrary that the
decision is "gluten free" blood pudding for the progressives.
My suspicions concerning the non-appearnce of any criticism to the article by Ms Parker were
confirmed when the the Post came out with another anti-public sector union editorial today
(May 3) in which it declares that the whole of collective bargaining and binding arbitration
are "heavily tilted in favor of the unions." It seems more important to control "out of
control labor costs" (to quote again) than it is to enforce labor contracts.
In summary, the Post Editorial Board believes that collective bargaining in the public sector
can no longer be sustained in the name of the taxpayer, it costs too much, and the right to
collectively
bargain by public sector employees should be abolished --at least for
Montgomery County (the "nuclear option" as the Post declares). Of course, the Post does not
suggest that the solution might be better management negotiators.

1
NLRB-FOIA-00000901
This country as a nation must decide whether the right to "organize and collectively bargain"
is a "right" or it isn't. We cannot sustain a hodge podge of labor law that says at the
national government level, employees can organize and bargain collectively if what they
bargain is "not otherwise provided by law'--meaning most wages and benefits are not
bargained. This makes very little substantive bargaining in the federal sector possible--and
forces trivial matters to the forefront. But don't forget Congress finds public sector
collective bargaining "in the public interest" (while the states of Wisconsin and Ohio
"don't" find it in the public interest). One can't be in the public interest and the other
not be, it seems to me.
Likewise, other states are now choosing to make collective bargaining "optional" for public
sector employees, I guess depending on their deficits or who is in office. In the private
sector, the law is clear that employees can organize and bargain collectively, but it hasn't
meant much in the leveling of wages and benefits--but at least it remains a right.. Do we say
"Gee--it's too expensive to enforce civil rights/EEO laws and that we should go ahead and
abolish these laws--spend the money elsewhere." No-- we don't. It won't do.
Let's finally decide--"it's not always easy; it's not always kind--but you're gonna have to
make up your mind" ---to quote the Lovin' Spoonful.
Enjoy!

Letters to the Editor:
This is in response to the article in the Editorial section by Kathleen Parker (South
Carolina, a union cannonade, April 24.) Ms. Parker discusses a National Labor Relations Board
(NLRB) case in which the board purportedly holds that Boeing cannot open a plant in right to
work state South Carolina because the move is allegedly motivated by an attempt to avoid
strikes and thus intimidate Boeing workers elsewhere. Ms. Parker more or less summarizes the
case as certainly wrong headed by the NLRB, and that corporations certainly have the right to
move wherever they want as part and parcel of any business decision.
She notes the NLRB
just tossed a Kobe tenderloin to the GOP.
Not so fast.
If global capitalism were delivering quality jobs with quality benefits to the
middle class as it was 50 years ago, and if Americans were gung ho on at will and right to
work employment systems-- where many workers are virtually muted concerning their working
conditions-- Ms. Parker would have a winning argument.
Alas, global capitalism is not delivering those jobs, and good chunks of taxpayer money are
being spent to lure the few good jobs that wont employ many Americans anyway.
It is not at
all clear that Americans are fans of at will and right to work employment systems these
days just because most South Carolina politicians are.
Contrary to Ms. Parkers assessment, this NLRB case is gluten free blood pudding to the
progressives.

LERA-L: Announcements, Developments, Queries, and Resources on all aspects of Labor and
Here is the best article (below) on "right to work states" and the lack of U.S. uniform labor
law I have ever seen by a business magazine. The article captures the labor relations "state
of the union" state of affairs as well as any contemporary business article can.
The article is from the Economist (Apr 25). Unfortunately, it took a publication based in the
UK to put its finger on the pulse of the U.S.
labour (note the European spelling) law
problem: lack of uniformity of its labor laws in all states.
As I have said elsewhere a number of times, the only "cure" for this problem (unless you are
a states' righter) is a federal law that solves the private sector and the public sector
rights to unionize and bargain collectively problem in one fell swoop--apply the right to
organize and bargain collectively to everybody.
Let's synthesize--federalize.

NLRB-FOIA-00000903
..BOEING decided a few years ago to build its 787 Dreamliner in South Carolina, the Wall
Street Journal opines, because it was afraid its union in Washington was too strong. South
Carolina is a "right-to-work" state: Title 41, Chapter 7 of the state code makes it illegal
for companies and unions to sign a contract in which anyone who works at the company has to
join the union. That makes it extremely difficult to organise effective unions, and Boeing
hoped it wouldn't have as many strikes at a plant in South Carolina as it had experienced at
its plants in Seattle in recent years. The unions sued over the move, and the National Labor
Relations Board has now awarded them a preliminary order blocking the factory from operating
pending an investigation into whether the company's shift of production to a union-hostile
state in order to avoid union activity constituted "anti-union animus".
To lay the groundwork here, it's important to understand what "right-to-work" means. It
doesn't mean "the government stays out of the labour negotiations business". Right-to-work
laws specifically ban employers and unions from signing contracts stipulating that anyone who
works at the company has to join the union. That's a basic step that unions always try to
negotiate for, since without it they find it very hard to establish themselves as the
negotiating partner with management.
Anyway, here's the sentence I found most amusing in the WSJ's editorial: "Boeing management
did what it judged to be best for its shareholders and customers and looked elsewhere."
Boeing's motivation for shifting production to an anti-union state was not to benefit
customers. If Boeing felt it could raise prices for the airplanes it builds without losing
market share, it would do so in a second, regardless of whether that was "best for its
customers". Companies try to lower operating costs in order to raise profits or cut prices
and win market share, not out of a selfless desire to benefit customers.
But the more important flaw here is that the reason why Boeing might have judged its decision
to move production to South Carolina "best for its shareholders" was that it didn't think it
violated labour law to flee your union. If it did violate labour law, then Boeing made a bad
decision and delivered negative value to its shareholders. To put things another way, if
America had labour laws that were uniform from state to state like any other normal economic
power, rather than a race-to-the-bottom system where states are pressured to weaken labour
laws in order to entice employers, then there would have been no reason for Boeing to move
production. There is simply no moral content to Boeing's decision to move production to South
Carolina. Boeing doesn't get brownie points for engaging in regulatory arbitrage and stiffing
its unions just because it judged that move to be best for shareholders. Congratulating
Boeing for trying to deliver shareholder value is like congratulating it for building and
selling airplanes. That's simply what the company does. Boeing's decision was a judgment
about how to play, given its evaluation of the rules of the game. The question of whether
companies should be allowed to flee their unions is a question about what the rules of the
game ought to be, in order to deliver value to the economy and to society.
So, should companies be barred from moving production to a right-to-work state to flee their
unions? Niklas Blanchard thinks not. He calls it "protectionism".
While I dont begrudge the right for unions to form and attempt to bargain, I also dont
begrudge the right of management the say, FU, were going somewhere else. In an ideal
world, they would do this free of government playing for either side. But in this case, we
have the government contemplating restricting capital flows between states! The United
States, as understood properly, is the largest free trade area in the world. That has been a
huge comparative advantage for the US historically, and arguably the reason that we are at
the top of the world economic pyramid today. Restricting the flow of capital makes us poorer
by reducing productive employment, and increasing prices. Its a very poor precedent to set.
I think this is a confusing analogy. Mr Blanchard may be right that, given that labour and
other business laws differ from state to state, the United States might best be understood as
the world's largest free trade area, rather than a single country. But does anyone think that
4
NLRB-FOIA-00000904
the United States would be a dramatically less prosperous country if it had uniform labour
and business law throughout its territory? Have right-to-work laws in 22 states made such an
immense contribution to American prosperity that without them America would not be the
world's largest and wealthiest economy? Really? Seriously? Would American technological
ingenuity have been crippled if the whole country had to follow the labour laws that obtain
in Silicon Valley?
I don't think so. I think if there were no right-to-work states, American GDP wouldn't be
significantly different than it is today. And if America did have uniform labour laws, then
Boeing's decision as to whether to produce in Puget Sound or South Carolina would have
nothing whatsoever to do with unions. If labour laws in South Carolina and Washington were
equivalent, the only thing the workers in Puget Sound would have to worry about is whether
their demands would lead the company to lose market share or to move production overseas. The
first might be a real worry; the latter is a marginal issue for Boeing workers because the
company is a defence industry-supported national champion firm.
Now maybe unionised Boeing workers should be more worried about hurting the company's market
share as it competes with EADS and with regional-jet builders like Embraer and Bombardier. It
certainly sounds like the company has a strike problem. But EADS's labour force is hardly
non-unionised. If Boeing is having more trouble with its unions than its competitors are,
it's possible that the fault lies with the company, rather than with the unions. What's
happening here is that anti-labour laws in certain states allow companies to shift investment
to those states in order to get around their unions. And efforts by unions to block that
manoeuvre can then be condemned as "restrictions on capital flow". The issue isn't freedom of
capital. The issue is whether employers can use a threat to move production to a union-
hostile state as a negotiating tactic in collective bargaining.

NLRB-FOIA-00001043
The most radical thing the Obama
administration has done.
n April 20, Lafe Solomon,
the acting general counsel of
the National Labor Relations
Board (nlrb), issued a complaint
against Boeing. Two years ago, the
company had announced it was transferring
the production of 2,000 airplanes
from a unionized plant in Puget Sound,
Washington, to a non-union plant outside
Charleston, South Carolina. According
to Solomons complaint, what made
this decision illegal was the companys
motive. High-level Boeing officials had
stated publicly that the move was being
made in response to strikesfour over
the previous two decadesled by the
machinists union at the Puget Sound
facility. If Boeing had said the move was
dictated by costs or by the weather, the
nlrb would not have cried foul.
Forty or fifty years ago, these kinds
of cases were common. Now, there are
fewer of thembut not because companies
are better-behaved. Ever since the
Reagan administration, which crippled
the nlrb, companies have been free to
operate with impunity, moving plants or
simply threatening to do so in order to
quell organizing efforts. Thats why Solomons
complaint, which might have gone
unnoticed a generation ago, may be the
most radical thing the Obama administration
has done.
The nlrbs complaint has, predictably,
provoked howls of outrage fromthe Chamber of Commerce, the National
Association of Manufacturers, and Boeing
itself, which called it legally frivolous.
Nine Republican attorneys general
have demanded that the nlrb withdraw
the complaint, while others on the right
have suggested darkly that the agencys
real motives are political. This is nothing
more than a political favor for the unions
who are supporting President Obamas reelection
campaign, charged South Carolina
Republican Senator Jim DeMint.
In fact, the President and the White
House had nothing to do with the decision.
As for Solomon, he is a 39-year civil
servant with no history of labor militancy.
His complaint stems from a fairly uncontroversial
reading of the 1935 National
NLRB-FOIA-00001044
Labor Relations Act (nlra), and its subsequent
interpretation by the courts, according
to Karl Klare of Northeastern
Universitys School of Law. Under the
nlra, employers are guilty of an unfair
labor practice if they interfere with, restrain,
or coerce employees in the exercise
of their right to form,
join or assist labor organizations,
to bargain collectively
. . . and to engage in other concerted
activities for the purpose
of collective bargaining
or other mutual aid or protection.
That means its illegal
for a business to threaten
or penalize workers for seeking to organize
a union or going on strike.
According to Solomons complaint,
there is compelling evidence that Boeing
did just that. Solomon cited five public
statements by Boeing top executives
saying that they were transferring the
jobs to South Carolina to avoid strikes.
For instance, on October 21, 2009, Boeing
CEO Jim McNerney posted a statement
on the companys intranet, which
is accessible to all employees, attributing
the decision to strikes happening
every three or four years in Puget
Sound. Such a comment can be seen as
an attempt to interfere with the right to
strike: It implies that if employees do so,
they will lose work to non-unionized
plants in other states.
Solomons complaint is not a ruling,
but is instead more akin to a criminal indictment,
in that it merely seeks to establish
whether there are reasonable
grounds for believing an employer has
committed an unfair labor practice. By
that standard, the complaint is entirely
fair. It sets in motion a trial by an administrative
law judge in Seattle on June 14.
The loser can appeal that decision to the
nlrb, whose decision can in turn be appealed
before a federal court.
If the case goes that far, Boeing stands
a decent chance of prevailing. To win,
the nlrb would need to show that Boeing
executives intended their words to
have a chilling effect on the machinists
rightsbut sinister motives are notoriously
difficult to prove, even when statements
like those of McNerney are in the
public record. Ultimately, the cases fate
may rest with the political inclinations
of the judges. In a 1982 case, Weather
Tamer v. NLRB, judges on the generally
NLRB-FOIA-00001045
conservative eleventh circuit threw
out an nlrb ruling against an employer.
The court had been presented with a record
of a supervisor stating that if workers
joined a union, the company would
close the plant but ruled that this statement
was not sufficient to establish a
motive to chill unionism.
Business groups claim that if Boeing
loses, no company will be free to hire or
fire workers without second-guessing
from the nlrb. But theres another, unstated,
reason why Republicans
and conservatives are so
worried about this case. Since
the passage of the Taft-Hartley
law in 1947, which allowed
states to pass right-to-work
laws making union organization
more difficult, the
South and parts of the Rocky
Mountain and Prairie West have become
a haven for private firms attempting to
avoid unionization. That has had a profound
political impact.
The popularity of New Deal liberalism
from the nlra to Social Security,
taxationwas rooted in the unionized
and primarily white working class of the
North. That working class has been decimated
by the movement of private manufacturing
firms to non-union states and
overseas. It has been supplanted politically
by a private sector non-union working
class more attuned to divisions of
race and religion than of class. That, and
the white Southern backlash to the civil
rights movement, were major factors in
the growth of a new Republican conservatism
and in Americas tilt rightward
over the last thirty years.
The Boeing case, then, isnt just
about corporate prerogatives. Its also
about the future of American politics.
With Solomons complaint, the nlrb
has taken a small but definite step toward
restoring an earlier Americaone
where politics wasnt dominated by the
Chamber of Commerce or demagogues
like Jim DeMint, and workers had rights
that mattered.
