International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and the South Carolina AFL-CIO all say that Haley is suppressing the unions' free speech, free association, and due process.
Noting the destruction of American jobs caused by union greed in places like Detroit, Haley's office issued a strong statement.
"We believe there's no basis to this suit, and if the machinists are offended that the governor doesn't think unions are a good thing in South Carolina, they're just going to have to get used to it," said Gov. Haley's spokesman Rob Gregory.
The governor has been working to ensure the health of Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner plant. Knowing the aircraft industry is looking at China for cheaper labor, there has been a fight to keep the plant from unionizing.
