"Senator Tim Scott was accused by the striking United Auto Workers union of violating the National Labor Relations Act Thursday, the same day that he raised $1 million for his 2024 presidential campaign. The formal complaint against the South Carolina Republican was made by UAW President Shawn Fain, a filing with the National Labor Relations Board shows. The complaint stems from comments made by the White House hopeful during an Iowa rally on Monday, in which Scott, 58, invoked former President Ronald Reagan’s famous response to a federal air traffic controller strike in 1981.

“I think Ronald Reagan gave us a great example when federal employees decided they were going to strike,” Scott said. “He said, ‘You strike, you’re fired.’ Simple concept to me, to the extent that we can use that once again.”

A complaint was filed against Sen. Tim Scott by UAW for violating the National Labor Relations Act.

Reagan followed through on his threat, firing more than 11,000 striking air traffic controllers and barring them from ever working for the federal government again. Fain argues that Scott’s quoting of Reagan, in his capacity as an employer of his campaign staff, “interfered with, restrained, or coerced employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in Section 7 of the [National Labor Relations Act]” by threatening them “with adverse consequences if they engage in protected, concerted activity.”
