Mr. Speaker, on Friday, Congressman Darrell Issa conducted a field hearing in North Charleston, South Carolina. A witness who really brought home the consequences families will face as a result of the NLRB's job-killing complaint was Cynthia Ramaker, who is currently employed at Boeing. Bringing a human face to the complaint, she explained how the NLRB is denying her right to work. She explained that Boeing's new 1.1 million square foot building is already completed. Manufacturing is to begin this summer, with over 1,000 jobs already, and up to 3,800 more jobs could come. With construction and suppliers, ultimately 9,000 jobs could be created. Boeing was attracted to South Carolina because of the trained world- class workforce, a welcoming pro-business climate, right to work laws, and a pro-business government of Republicans and Democrats. The job- killing action of the Obama administration is a threat to American workers. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
