Rep. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) bill to limit the National Labor Relations Board’s powers passed in the house today by a vote of 238 – 186.

8 Democrats voted in favor of the bill which was largely proposed in response to the NLRB’s decision to blog a new Boeing plant in South Carolina.

Sen. Harry Reid is unlikely bring up the bill in the Senate, but the House is eager to show that they are willing to pass legislation that will add jobs to the American economy.
