Not sure how to feel...

Union sues over Haley's remarks about Boeing plant

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is facing her first big lawsuit after saying the state would try to keep unions out of the Boeing Inc. plant in North Charleston. The lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Charleston by the International Association of Machinists and AFL-CIO asked for a court order telling Haley and her director of the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation to butt out and remain neutral in matters concerning union activities.
"There's no secret I don't like the unions," Haley said when asked about the litigation. "We are a right-to-work state. I will do everything I can to defend the fact we are a right-to-work state. We are pro-business by nature. I want us to continue to be pro-business. If they don't like what I said, I'm sorry, that's how I feel."

If you are against the government taking sides with unions in order to promote their agenda, its tough to rectify how then you would be on the side of government when it too is against unions. Government non-interference in the private market shouldn't mean making exceptions.  From a natural rights perspective, I suppose seeing the government enforce "right to work" laws may fall within the domain of natural rights, but I can't help but feel a bit wary into accepting that position.  Though the right to life does seem to incorporate being able to work, this notion has historically been used to enforce labor regulations which have been far more destructive then their intended purpose, hence my reluctance.


This of course doesn't apply to the public sector of course since the head executive (in the case of the article, the governor) is essentially the boss and holds the right to manage how they see fit.  Once I figure it out, I want to embed this awesome interactive map which shows each state's underfunded pension obligations, of which public sectors unions have been significant as causing.
