Friday marked the opening of the Boeing (BA) 787 Dreamliner Final Assembly building in North Charleston, South Carolina, despite the state’s battle with the National Labor Relations Board about the company’s decision to build in South Carolina.The NLRB will lose this. There simply isn't any legal or constitutional justification for them to interfere with a private company's expansion plans or where they choose to place their production facilities.
“The NLRB wants the jobs here transferred back to Washington State and that’s not going to happen,” South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson told FOXbusiness.com. “Opening this facility is an exclamation point.”
The $750 million facility, which finished construction six months ahead of schedule, features 642,720 square feet (roughly 10 football fields) of space and will produce three 787 Dreamliners per month. ...
This is Boeing’s second 787 facility, with the first housed in Washington state. In April, the NLRB sued Boeing for building in South Carolina, saying it chose to build in that right-to-work state as punishment to union members for previous strikes.
Hearings about this matter are scheduled to begin on Tuesday. While Boeing and the NLRB fight their battle, Boeing’s production in South Carolina will continue on as scheduled.

We see their priority--and it's not the taxes they'd get from that new plant and its workers.
The NLRB will get shut down by the federal courts.
Telling a company where it may or may not locate smacks of fascism. But I expect no less from the criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington.
States will need to lead the way back to freedom. South Carolina will help lead the way.
