NLRB documents shed light on Boeing fight in South Carolina

McClatchy Washington Bureau  "Lawyers for the federal labor agency fighting Boeing’s new factory in North Charleston, N.C., repeatedly joked among themselves about the dispute and exchanged a political cartoon portraying S.C. Sen. Glenn McConnell as a crass-speaking confederate soldier, according to internal documents released Wednesday.
"The emails, memos and other documents from the National Labor Relations Board, which the agency provided in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, also portray Sen. Lindsey Graham’s behind-the-scenes efforts to prevent it from filing a complaint against Boeing."
....


"Rob Godfrey, a spokesman for S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley, said the NLRB employees’ jokes about the Boeing case didn’t amuse her."
“The NLRB is a disrespectful agency that apparently believes that the jobs and companies they are threatening is all fun and games,” Godfrey said. “They are wrong. These are real people, real jobs and real companies. This is not and has never been a laughing matter.”"

Everything this asinine administration does drags the American free enterprise system further into the trash.
 
Judicial Watch: NLRB Staffers Joke About Economy, Mock DeMint   "In an April 22 email, acting NLRB General Counsel Lafe Solomon wrote to the organization’s outgoing chairwoman, Wilma Liebman: “The article gave me a new idea. You go to geneva [Switzerland] and I get a job with airbus [French company]. We screwed up the us economy and now we can tackle europe.” "
