senators in telling the National Labor Relations Board to ignore
political pressure in its complaint against the Boeing Co.
Last
month, the labor board’s general counsel accused Boeing of illegally
retaliating against its Machinists union for strikes in Washington when
it picked South Carolina for a second 787 production line. Boeing has
denied the allegation. A hearing on the complaint is set for June 14 in
Seattle.
The complaint against Boeing has drawn attention across the nation. Several members of Congress, state governors and state attorneys general have weighed in on the complaint.
Some
members of the Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee have
asked the labor board for details on its legal complaint against Boeing.
Murray
and other members of the committee responded in a letter Thursday,
saying that caving to political pressure would undermine the labor
board’s decision.
“We believe it would be inappropriate for the
General Counsel’s office to compromise its litigating position by
detailing its legal strategy in this manner,” Murray and others wrote.
