But it is anything but just a local story; recall that <a href=\"http:\/\/new.kendallharmon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/index.php\/t19\/article\/36233\">Philip Greenspun of Harvard Law school called it the biggest U.S. economic story of the year<\/a>&#8211;KSH)<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Deep into the recent recession, Boeing decided to invest more than $1 billion in a new factory in South Carolina. Surging global demand for our innovative, new 787 Dreamliner exceeded what we could build on one production line and we needed to open another&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Eighteen months later, a North Charleston swamp has been transformed into a state-of-the-art, green-energy powered, 1.2 million square-foot airplane assembly plant. One thousand new workers are hired and being trained to start building planes in July&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) believes it was a mistake and that our actions were unlawful. It claims we improperly transferred existing work, and that our decision reflected &#8220;animus&#8221; and constituted &#8220;retaliation&#8221; against union-represented employees in Washington state. Its remedy: Reverse course, Boeing, and build the assembly line where we tell you to build it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052748703730804576315141682547796.html\">Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Please note that this also ran on the op-ed of the local paper here yesterday since it is such a huge story down here in the greater Charleston, South Carolina area.
