South Carolina lawmakers proposed a bill that work exempt private businesses from a proposed National Labor Relations Board rule. he proposed rule would require businesses to display a poster detailing workers' rights to bargain collectively and engage in union activities. The lawmakers say that they are an anti-union state, and that they want to remain one. The Governor said that she supported the bill, saying that encouraging union was ridiculous. The proposed law comes after the Governor was sued by a union for saying that she would work to stop them from unionizing a new Boeing plant. The NLRB has also threatened to sue South Carolina and three other states for constitutional amendments that guarantees workers secret ballot union elections. The Board says that amendments conflict with federal law.
