House GOP Bill Will Block NLRB From Suing Boeing, AFL-CIO Top Goon Trumka Calls It “Sleazy” And Pandering To a “Radical Ideology”…
Judging by Trumka’s response I’d say the GOP is on the right path.
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans, angry over the government’s labor dispute with Boeing Co., are taking up a bill that would prohibit the National Labor Relations Board from ordering any company to close plants or relocate workers, even if a company flouts labor laws.
The measure would undercut a high-profile lawsuit filed in April that accuses Boeing of violating labor laws by opening a new production line for its 787 airplane in right-to-work South Carolina. The board says Boeing is punishing unionized Washington state workers for past strikes.
Boeing has vigorously denied the allegations, claiming the move was an economic decision. Business groups claim the board has overstepped its bounds, and say no agency should have the right to dictate where a company can or cannot create jobs.
The hypocrisy of Trumka accusing someone else of being “sleazy” is mind blowing.
(Seattle Times) — The head of the nation’s largest federation of unions on Monday blasted congressional Republicans of pushing a “sleazy legislation” that exploits an unfair labor practice dispute over Boeing’s new jetliner-assembly plant in South Carolina, a bill he says panders to the “radical ideology” of the tea party while selling out workers’ rights.
Richard Trumka, president of AFL-CIO, said the legislation introduced by House Republicans would render the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) toothless in taking action against employers who commit unfair labor practices. That, Trumka told reporters during a conference call, would roll back decades’ of protection for workers while rewarding “a major corporate donor, Boeing.”
Trumka’s denouncement was the latest volley in a case that has become a major political cause for conservatives. The NLRB in April filed a complaint against Boeingfor allegedly deciding to build its first-ever final-assembly plant outside of Washington state as a retaliation and a warning to its Machinists. The union’s members have gone on strike five times against the company since 1977.

You can be sure this Trumpka knuckle dragger knows all about “sleazy.”
Like most dedicated left wing nuts he appears to be using emotions, rabble rousing, instead of facts. I wonder what high school he dropped out of?
Union bosses: Getting fat ( and ugly ) off of other people’s work.
You wanna see sleaze dickless? Look in the mirror you lard ass POS
‘Last night’s speech by the president was an increasingly odd mix of failed sincerity, and meandering rehash of already failed Big Government ideas. No indications were given by Mr. Obama of anything resembling an original thought on how to combat the failing American economy. The country spent nearly a trillion dollars in deficit spending back in 2009 under the repeated promised from the Obama administration that such spending would create jobs and jumpstart the economy. Those promised proved false. Now this president is simply doubling down yet again on that failed example with another half-trillion dollars of deficit spending proposals. Raid Social Security, push for increasing taxes on the job creators of the country, and give billions upon billions to the unions under the guise of “shovel ready” infrastructure jobs. That last example is particularly interesting, for last night saw AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka sitting alongside First Lady Michelle Obama last night as President Obama gave his “pass this bill” speech to Congress. Trumka actually was given the use of Air Force One to fly personally with the president to Washington D.C. for last night’s “pass this bill” affair. Trumka is the same union official who dismissed the murder of a non-union worker by striking union thugs back in 1993 as an example of someone striking a match and “burning their finger.” This is also the same Richard Trumka who has openly advocated a “global governance” and international “financial transactions tax”. The same Richard Trumka who Communist Party USA chairman Scott Marshall admitted to working closely with on critical political campaigns. The same Richard Trumka who President Barack Obama appointed to his Economic Recovery Advisory Board in 2009.
Barack Obama once said American should judge him by the company he keeps.
Indeed…’

Once again I am in awe at the size of Trumpka’s melon head. In this particular photo with his pie hole agape it bears an eerie resemblance to the wrinkled ass of a rhinoceros, as seen on the Animal Planet channel, in the act of voiding the contents of its colon. Amazing.
That picture is enough to scare the dead back to life.
As Hitler had Ernst Rohm…..
Our want-to-be-dictator has this cretin.
They are more than capable of pursuing there own Kristalnacht.
Be wary of this ogre.
To me, this man honestly looks like a fat Hitler!! I think that everytime I see him.
I think that the hardcore unionistas are dangerous, but the rank and file are not all scumbag thugs. My hope is that Trumka and Hoffa will push their members to a point that they will stand down.
SEIU is another story. It’s populated with so many non citizens and leftists that they would be very destructive if instructed to attack. They’re ACORN types and less inclined to be loyal to the country.
The House bill is meaningless. Reid will block in the senate and The Won will veto it…meaningless
Ever notice how Trumka looks like a super fat Joe Stalin
HEY FAT UGLY AFL/CIO SEWERSNAKE MAKE MY DAY PIG
Tanya & mj hawkeye.. careful there.. you are speaking of the post-wrenching transformation Great Leader.. did you seriously think bin Obama will want to run the U.S. once it has become an obedient and poor Communist nation? N o, no.. such as Trumka will rule..
Whatever-in-the-world? I suppose Trumka would rather the entire Boeing enterprise move it’s jobs overseas like India or such? I’m sure there are talented & willing individuals that can fit the job requirements just fine if Beoing chooses to move itself over to a right-to-work state. While remaining in the States!
Hmmm, I’m musing: Suppose a DNA test could ferret out if Trumka is related to Hitler by any chances?
Heil, Trumpka!
