More stupidity by Democrats. In an interview late last week, House Minority Leaeder Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told CNBC that Boeing should either unionize its production facilities in South Carolina, or shut them down entirely. âDo you think itâs right that Boeing has to close down that plant in South Carolina because itâs non union?â asked host Maria Bartiromo. Pelosiâs reply: âYes.â The minority leader quickly added that she would rather it simply unionize and stay open. But barring unionization, by Pelosiâs reasoning, it should simply shut down. Pelosi may or may not know that workers at the South Carolina plant in question voted resoundingly (199-68) to decertify their union two years ago. Government policies that would close the plant for being a non-union shop would simply be punishing those workers for exercising their right to determine union representation for themselves. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cnpeBTX-DMA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> http://hotair.com/archives/2011/11/...-shut-down-that-scab-plant-in-south-carolina/
But apparently not because they oppose unionism, per se. First link from google: http://www.charlestonbusiness.com/news/28827-new-boeing-workers-file-to-decertify-machinists-union
Pelosi is the epitome of everything that it wrong about the Democratic Party. Back when George W. Bush was president I did not want him and Cheney impeached even though they deserved it a dozen times over. Why? Because under the rules of the Constitution the speaker of the house is next in line for the presidency, after the vice president. At that time the speaker of the house was Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi was the best job insurance Bush/Cheney could have.
