Big Labor Sues Governor

Haley has nominated Catherine Templeton to run the state’s labor agency and union lawyers are claiming her nomination somehow intimidates or coerces workers into not joining a labor union. Even though the lawsuit is farcical on its face, union bosses have never raised objections to coercion when it comes to forcing workers into labor unions.
