Nikki Haley Responds to the NLRB’s Mandate to Post Union Notices

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  August 26th, 2011 at 10:30 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

On the news that the job-destroying National Labor Relations Board is mandating employers in all 50 states to post notices advising employees of their rights to unionize (and destroy more jobs), South Carolina’s Governor Nikki Haley posted the following response on her Facebook page:

Right next to that sign that is being mandated by Barack Obama’s union cheerleaders at the NLRB, I encourage all S.C. employers to put up another sign: in our state, every worker has the freedom to reject the efforts to form unions and keep their paychecks for themselves and their families instead of paying dues to union bosses in Washington.

Haley’s response is, no doubt, more eloquently expressed than the responses of most employers’ toward the union psychopaths sycophants running Obama’s National Labor Relations Board.

    so people can protect themselves from union thugs? I think shooting classes may be best.

      We have a lot of CWPs in this state! Union thuggery won’t go far in South Carolina!

  • Adjoran

    Send us all of ‘em.

    Gotta love her.

    believe the NLRB has this authority….

    If employers are required by Federal Law or Regulation to put up placards saying workers have the right to unionize, then they should also be required to put up placards detailing how unions slow job growth, sap productivity and make American businesses non-competitive.

    Wouldn’t want people to think the government prefers one side or the other, after all…

    Just a thought.

      This organization does not have the authority to even mandate this. All employers should be telling the agency to go to H – LL. It is not a federal law unless the congress makes it one and they were not able to get card check passed even when they controlled all 3 branches of government. We are losing our republic. It is not totally gone, but if the people and the companies continue to let this administration and the far left agencies bully and intimidate them with their unauthorized mandates and they just follow blindly like the rats that followed the pied piper or the nazis to the gas chambers, our country will indeed be lost. The employers of this country should just stand up to them and pre-empt them. Inform their employees about what the unions are trying to do and get ahead of it. Let the employees know what the unions evil intentions are. Come on, use some fore thought. In Wisconsin, teachers are no longer paying dues to the union now that it is not forcefully taken out of their pay by the state, it just shows, people do not want what they are selling. So we need to have an education program to help employers educate their employees of the evils of unionization and the benefits of not belonging to unions. This evil can be countered.

    Do not let the union thugs push your state around. SC is fortunate to have her as Governor.

    states are finally retaliating to take their own rights back.
    about time, to bad we needed to get this far before people fought back.

    • chamberD

      It was the states, after all, who created the national government, not the other way around. At the rate the feds are going with their dictatorial overreach of their constitutional mandate, the states are going to have to dismantle it in toto and start all over again with a ‘transformed’ national government, vastly circumscribed and shorn of its ability to usurp powers that belong to the states and to the people.

      I will be dancing in the streets when that day arrives. And O and his fellow usurpers can stand trial for treason. It’s way past time to end tyranny creep, as in slow erosion of our freedoms until none remain.

      • dmacleo

        thats the hope and change I want :)

    Bureaucratic power is the basis of autocracy, commands from the unchosen, unelected, & unreachable. Ignore it, take the bastards to court. If nothing else they may quiver a bit from the glare of publicity.
    Good work and congrats to Governor Haley, we still have a 10th Amendment, the one leftists ignore.

    You know, I as actually born in SC and there are few things I can think of that compare to a US President trying to actually destroy jobs in any state in this country.

    I mean, you can say that the Obama Administration’s policies have been disastrous for the economy in general or so on and so forth. But I can’t think of another example where an Adminsitration has intentionally set out to destroy jobs in a particular state. It’s always like South Carolinians were foreign workers or the state not a member of the Union. Of course, if they were – the Big O would be perfectly happy shipping them there. Unless of course it was an allied country. Cant have that can we?

    Of course, I don’t believe they are actually foolish enough (though I may be wrong) to think that their shenanigans will work in SC..but their message is to all the other businesses looking to move to more hospitable environments.

    Such is their way I guess. You can take the man out of Chicago…but you can’t the Chicago out of the man,

    • lineholder

      This approach that is being taken by the Obama administration isn’t going to help them one bit, at least not the South Carolinians that I know. For all that people look down their noses at “rednecks” and tend to portray southerners in this light (far more than they should), there are plenty of things can be said for knowing when and how to get a bit rowdy.

      Have you ever met someone that is basically decent to the core and solid as a rock, but you do NOT want to see them get truly angry? That applies when it comes to the people in SC.

      • http://thirdrailers.com/ thirdrailers

        it got pushed to a separate item… see below :)

  • http://thirdrailers.com/ thirdrailers

    Yes, South Carolinians are not people you really want to get angry. Takes a long time to get the hospitable strain out of their DNA but when you do.. not nice. And I absolutely agree about the southern stereotype.

    Funny, i was reading an article before Perry went to SC for the RS conference… and it implied because he was going to the first (slave-holding) state to actually secede (ignored the fact that new england states were the first to propose it long before the civil war..but heck, what are facts to get in the way of a liberal smear) from the Union… that he was…? Yeah, steroetypes abound. Funny, you never hear the MSM put an intelligent sounding southerner on the air.. it’s always some toothless… Hmmm Where Was I? :)

    In a lot of ways I wish I was back there… a kindness and compassion you dont find anywhere else in the Union.

    But I do think that if the Harvard boys in the Administration and their union collaborators think that their thuggery will fly in SC, well.. they will find that its a whole new ballgame down there.

    Sad though, you would think at a time when we”re struggling to get people back to work and a company actually decides to invest in jobs in the US… that an American President would do everything he could to keep people (non-union dues paying ones) unemployed. His message: “Get to the back of the bus.”

    You have the right to join as one
    And form a union shop,
    To bargain for outrageous pay
    For leaning on a mop.

    You may as well negotiate
    A change in rules too,
    Which guarantees the work of one
    Will now be done by two.

    You may just get a pension plan
    We can

      I would recco it. ;)

    As a native South Carolinian, I am extremely proud to have Nikki Haley as our Governor. She is smart, determined, confident, personable, and passionate about what she believes in. She has a great future in politics and is a great leader.

    I’m also proud that she’s a fellow Clemson Univ alum!

    To all those up north and those who support unions – You keep the unions – We’ll take the jobs!!

  • RetiredFF

    keep up the great work and continue to show all of us your ability to run a state that will save this country again. I love SC and still dream of being there, unfortunately things will not allow that to happen just yet. At least I have family that are true patriots and residents of the great state of South Carolina. Stay true to your principles, your state needs you now and our Country will need you later.

    The NLRB sees the writing on the wall and is obviously panicking: Less Trumka support—> no Obama victory in 2012—> no dictatorial powers to the NLRB.

    Hope Congress will reject this usurpation of their power (at least protest it. like they did with the Lybia undeclared intervention) and slow this down enough to avoid further crippling our state economies…

    Heartfelt applauses to Governor Nikki Haley for her moral clarity and leadership!

  • radix

    Sounds like endorsement of the Union Religion to me… LOL Where is the ACLU?!
