Nikki Haley Is Proud Of Her 'Union-Buster' Record

[RAB910]

[excerptH] how much does GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley hate unions?

The former South Carolina governor once devoted more than three minutes of her “State of the State” address to a diatribe against organized labor, boasting about her state’s low unionization rate. “We don’t have unions in South Carolina because we don’t need unions in South Carolina,” she said.

She waged a years-long personal crusade against a union organizing a Charleston-area factory, putting an anti-union lawyer in her administration expressly to help her “fight” the campaign. She later lent her voice to radio ads urging factory workers to reject the union effort.

And she once declared that she didn’t want jobs coming to her state at all if they were going to be union jobs. “We don’t want to taint the water,” she said.

1. I'm so proud of Joe Biden on this front

The only president in history to stand on a picket line.
Nikki is appropriately the anti-Biden.

2. Pretty much why I couldn't live south of the Mason Dixon line. Boeing was all pleased with this and made a big...

...investment in an SC plant and then somehow the labor force was not up to the precision required of aircraft parts manufacturing. So the SC plant would start the work and then ship the parts to the unionized plants in WA state where the union works were able to fix and finish them. Good plan.

3. Exhibit A of why this state remains a backwards shithole.

She's also the same one who turned down the ACA's Medicaid expansion funds, thus denying a substantial number of South Carolinians health care. She won't be happy until we're ALL poor and sick. There are not enough words to describe just how much I loathe her.

4. Which is just a reminder . . .

Nikki Haley is not a 'moderate.' She espouses the same odious policy points as the rest of the Republican Party.

5. Yep, exactly..
