A judge on Thursday denied Boeing's attempt to have a National Labor Relations Board case against it dismissed.

The NLRB has accused Boeing of choosing to locate a new plant in South Carolina instead of Washington state in retaliation for strikes by unionized workers there.

Boeing sought to have the case dismissed on the grounds that the NLRB's claim was unprecedented, but Seattle Administrative Law Judge Clifford Anderson ruled that the case should go on.

"Having considered the entirety of the respondent's motion and found and concluded as noted above, I find that the motion is without merit and should be denied in its entirety," Anderson wrote in a 19 page ruling.

"Right now Boeing is stuck in what amounts to a union-controlled NLRB Star Chamber whose sole purpose is to extract a pound of flesh from the company," Graham said in a statement. "Eventually Boeing will break free from the union-dominated process and move to a truly independent court of law. It's there Boeing ultimately prevails over this frivolous NLRB complaint."

"South Carolina earned the right to build these airplanes and no unelected bureaucracy is going to take that away from us," he added.
