SCGOP Chairman Chad Connelly today released a statement following the US House passage of the Protecting Jobs from Government Interference Act (H.R. 2587):

“Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that will stop the assault by the National Labor Relations Board on private business. Creating jobs should be our number one priority and I applaud the entire Republican delegation from South Carolina for standing up to Barack Obama’s administration. Led by the bill’s sponsor, South Carolina Rep. Tim Scott, House Republicans recognized the dangers imposed by the NLRB’s overreach. South Carolina Republicans call on the U.S. Senate to act swiftly in passing this job-creating bill.”
