Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney will deliver a policy speech focused on labor unions in South Carolina on Monday.

Romney will use the speech to highlight his position on unions, including a proposed executive order to give workers a secret ballot option and an opt-out of union membership. The executive order was one of five that he pledged earlier this week to give on the first day of his presidency.

Romney also signaled his intention to wade into the union fight in South Carolina, where he will tour the controversial new Boeing plant in Charleston. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is suing the company over the plant, which the board charges was built in South Carolina out of retaliation for union strikes at Boeing's plant in Washington state.

The former Massachusetts governor will emphasize free enterprise principles in his speech, including his belief that any company is free to invest where it wants, according to details provided to South Carolina’s Post and Courier.

Romney also wants to build in protections to ensure against forced union membership, ambush elections and automatic political contributions.
