Joe Burns has a pro-labor comment posted at In These Times on the Boeing issue. His point, the opposition to the NLRB's issuance of a complaint is part of the continuing assault on labor's right to strike.

Joe Burns at In These Times (pro labor) has posted an insightful analysis of public sector unions core problem - the weakness of private sector unionism. Seizing on that weakness, Burns notes, is a well-funded network of conservative forces which has mounted an all out assault on labor rights. While he has correctly diagnosed the problem, his projected cure, more solidarity of purpose and a return to collective actions may not be achievable in an environment determined to suppress it.

Joe Burns' post at Labor Notes does a good job of explaining secondary pressure as a union solidarity issue. He attributes labor's decline, in part, as a result of the banning of secondary pressure.
