House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has sent a subpoena to the National Labor Relations Board’s acting general counsel, Lafe Solomon, as part of its ongoing investigation into the agency’s lawsuit against Boeing for building a non-union factory in South Carolina.
“NLRB’s action in the case against Boeing has the potential to create a job-killing precedent just as U.S. manufacturers are working toward economic recovery,” Issa said in a statement. “That a Washington, D.C.-based bureaucracy could dictate the work location and parameters for a world-leading company is unprecedented in a global economy and hobbles a leading American job creator at a time of economic vulnerability,” Issa said.
The committee first requested documents and information related to the move against Boeing back in May, and the NLRB faces an Aug. 12 deadline to respond to the request.
