This summer, the huge Boeing assembly plant here will begin producing 787 Dreamliners — up to three a month, priced at $185 million apiece. It will, unless the National Labor Relations Board, controlled by Democrats and encouraged by Barack Obama’s reverberating silence, gets its way.Read the rest here.
Last month — 17 months after Boeing announced plans to build here and with the $2 billion plant nearing completion — the NLRB, collaborating with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), charged that Boeing’s decision violated the rights of its unionized workers in Washington state, where some Dreamliners are assembled and still will be even after the plant here is operational. The NLRB has read a 76-year-old statute (the 1935 Wagner Act) perversely, disregarded almost half a century of NLRB and Supreme Court rulings, and patently misrepresented statements by Boeing officials.

Good thing poor Boeing has George Will to defend them, differentiating them from "uncompetitve companies who make themselves wards of the government." Well they have Will and also the $23b in subsidies they got from that same US government for the Dreamliner programme.
At what point will this ridiculous Republican rhetoric finally get called out by the Libertarians on their right, sitting on their duffs?
