WASHINGTON -- Asked three weeks ago if he would like to run for president, Mitch Daniels replied, "What sane person would like to?"
A telecommunications company's decision to expand its work force in Florida has triggered an investigation by the Obama administration's National Labor Relations Board. While the probe doesn't specifically target the firm, CenturyLink, it could set sweeping "new standards" for every company that intends to move jobs.
Much like Boeing Co., which plans to shift work from Washington state to South Carolina, CenturyLink figured it made good business sense to move jobs out of Nevada and into the Sunshine State.
