According to a report in The Hill, NLRB Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon argues that a ruling by Administrative Law Judge Clifford Anderson—who is overseeing the case in which the NLRB contends that Boeing’s opening of a new plant in South Carolina was an illegal anti-union retaliation—that rejected Boeing’s motion to dismiss “supported [the NLRB's] contention that documents about the issue should be made available to a congressional oversight committee only as they come out in the case.”
This interpretation is aimed at the House of Representatives’ investigation into the NLRB complaint. “House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has launched an investigation into the case, saying it appears to be politically motivated,” Keith Laing writes in The Hill. “Issa has threatened to subpoena documents about the case, but the NLRB has said it would provide only ‘discoverable’ information.”
