South Carolina Governor Sued Over Hostility to Unions

Boo, hoo. Pity the poor unions the big mean governor is disrespecting.

From Reuters via Yahoo News:

South Carolina unions filed suit on Thursday against new Republican Governor Nikki Haley and her administration, saying hostility toward unions and workers joining unions is unconstitutional.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and the South Carolina AFL-CIO alleges that Haley is violating the federal constitutional and statutory rights to free speech, free association and due process.
