Talk about being on a limb — even President Obama’s pick for Secretary of Commerce opposes the National Labor Relations Board attempt to punish Boeing for opening a facility in a Right to Work state. From the Washington Post:
Republicans asked Bryson about the National Labor Relations Board’s suit against Boeing, which accuses the aircraft builder of opening a plant in South Carolina in retaliation against union workers in Washington state.
