Romney Hits Turbulence With Boeing Case
A Mitt Romney ad running in South Carolina distorts the truth by claiming that the National Labor Relations Board told Boeing Corp., “You can’t build a factory in South Carolina because South Carolina is a right-to-work state.” That misstates the facts.

The acting general counsel had claimed Boeing was punishing workers in another state for union activity.
