Union-Only Port Terminal Suspends Operations
Committee President Mark Mix: “If I were a Leatherman dockworker, I certainly wouldn’t count on Longshore Union bosses to show any flexibility” to get the terminal reopened and “save my job.”
From Charleston Regional Business Journal:
The InterTech Group is bringing an aerospace manufacturer and about 350 jobs to North Charleston, the company announced this morning.
TIGHitco, pronounced T-I-G-hit-co, a subsidiary of InterTech, will invest between $30 million and $40 million in North Charleston for a roughly 300,000-square-foot facility.
“The Southeast is becoming a major hub for the aerospace industry,” said Jonathan Zucker, president of InterTech. “And by opening a facility in South Carolina, we will have the ability to provide better service to our customers.”
Committee President Mark Mix: “If I were a Leatherman dockworker, I certainly wouldn’t count on Longshore Union bosses to show any flexibility” to get the terminal reopened and “save my job.”
Union bosses are rallying behind Democrat Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico because he opposes Right to Work protections for employees.
... States that continuously lacked Right to Work protections for employees from 2012-23 lost a net total of $2.05 trillion in cumulative AGI solely as a consequence of domestic out-migration of taxpayers during that 11-year period.
