When Did South Carolina Secede from the United States?

Aren’t workers in South Carolina covered by the National Labor Relations Act? You know, the law passed in 1935 that says workers have the right to join a union and bargain collectively?

South Carolina Gov.-elect Nikki Haley apparently doesn’t think so, according to a Dec. 8 Associated Press report. The story was reported by media throughout the state.

Haley says her new Cabinet pick to run the state's Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation will lead efforts to fight unions, particularly at Boeing’s new North Charleston plant where workers build the company’s giant new jet airplane. Haley said “we're going to fight the unions and I needed a partner to help me do it.”
