NRLB vs. Boeing offers Obama a 2012 predicament

Labour dispute if the Boeing Company, trade unions and the National Labor Relations Board is becoming a political situation for President Obama. Boeing is fighting a complaint from the National Labor Relations Board to the movement of
Boeing production work for its 787 Dreamliner aircraft from their normal production line in the u.s. State of Washington to South Carolina. This measure from the Boeing Co. says that punishing unionized workers from their previous work strikes.

Some Republicans on Capitol Hill and leading companies criticized strongly the action conducted by the NLRB, now controlled by the Presidential appointees. However, maintaining furious Republicans calm when it comes to the National Labor Relations Board's legal action against the world's premier aerospace company. The majority of the Republican presidential candidates have also set their side on this issue, where they can all come together and attacking Obama and his pro-Union policies, the NLRB as a group.

According to the NLRB, when Boeing Co. began a completely new production line for its 787aircraft in South Carolina the back toward its unionized workforce in Washington State for striking. Now, the NLRB wants a judge to require Boeing to send it back
work to the previous state, eliminating thousands of jobs from South Carolina.

In his press conference was Pres. Obama cautious by saying that the NLRB is an independent authority and that it would be up their judges to take a decision on the merits of the case. The President is also added, that companies Boeing, must have the greatest possible flexibility to invest in the country. He also said that companies should have the freedom to move anywhere else, especially here in the United States.

Pres. Obama stated, "and if they're (the Boeing Company) chose to move here in the United States, which is good."

Most Americans expect the fight to finally move on to court and maybe even up to the Supreme Court. The story is a big issue in South Carolina, a crucial State in the early GOP presidential race, and it leaves the President Obama in a situation as to whether he is a "Pro-Union" President, which he is established, or if he is "pro-jobs", which according to many approval polls, he is not yet convinced the American people, and would be necessary to prove if he wants to win reelection next November.
