Here is a link to my July 10, 2011 article in the Greenville News: Due Process Should Run Its Course in Boeing Case. Not sure link will work without subscription, so here is my basic point:
If Boeing did violate the law, the law should provide a remedy. The remedy being sought by the General Counsel for the NLRB is to return the 1,000 jobs to Washington state. If the charge is proven true, South Carolina would be subsidizing illegal behavior by allowing Boeing to remain.
Is there some middle ground that provides a remedy for the wrong while minimizing the impact on innocent third-parties (such as the workers in North Charleston)? These are questions that should be answered after the due process of law has run its course.
