House Committee subpoena issues for Boeing information

The Republican controlled House Oversight Committee has issued a subpoena to the NLRB and its General Counsel, Lafe Solomon, for documents relating to the Boeing case. This is a remarkable occurrence given the fact the case is still pending. One interesting aspect about unfair labor practice proceedings is the absence of pre-trial discovery. The broad subpoena certainly covers factual matters which are relevant in the trial of the matter.
