Statement from Gov. Henry McMaster on NLRB International Association of Machinists Ruling at Boeing North Charleston

Statement

Date: May 21, 2018
Location: Columbia, SC
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Labor Unions

Gov. Henry McMaster today released the following statement in response to the NLRB's decision to allow the International Association of Machinists to pursue unionization at the Boeing North Charleston plant:

"South Carolina is great because of our great people. The Boeing Company recognized this fact, and that's why they've invested so heavily in our state. Out-of-state union bosses have no interest in the future of South Carolina or this remarkable company. Their presence in North Charleston is about as welcome as a Category 5 hurricane. With more South Carolinians working today than at any other time in history, we aren't going to let out-of-state labor unions ruin the wonderful working environment in our state."
