On the recordSeptember 15, 2011
Mr. Speaker, with more than 14 million Americans unemployed, the irresponsible agenda of the National Labor Relations Board is destroying more jobs. In April, the NLRB filed a complaint against The Boeing Company for creating thousands of jobs in a right-to-work State, South Carolina. The Protecting Jobs from Government Interference Act will promote, today, a positive environment for job creators by developing their businesses in a State that offers the best opportunities for job growth. The new law will prohibit the NLRB from dictating where employers can relocate, shut down, or transfer employment. I am proud of the leadership of the four freshmen from South Carolina making a difference promoting jobs, led by Congressman Tim Scott of North Charleston who introduced this legislation, and I'm grateful to be an original cosponsor with Congressman Trey Gowdy of Spartanburg, Congressman Jeff Duncan of Laurens, and Congressman Mick Mulvaney of Indian Land. This legislation will provide the certainty for job creators to invest in the economy and put Americans back to work. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
