Major Business Investments & Management Rights

Last year the blogosphere saw much chatter and commentary concerning the proposed opening of a Boeing plant in South Carolina, and the subsequent filing of a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or Board) charge, congressional hearings, etc.  The Fall 2011 issue of the ABA Journal of Labor and Employment, Vol. 27 No. 1, thoughtfully included testimony of two congressional hearing witnesses.  Although the immediate storm has passed, the parties having settled the charge with the signing of a new collective bargaining agreement, it is an issue that could recur with similar responses, so I’d like to discuss that testimony here.
