In inviting business to move to South Carolina she has said : What I 'm saying is , if you come to South Carolina , the cost of doing business is going to be low here . We are going to make sure that you have a loyal , willing workforce and we are going to be one of the lowest union-participation states in the country . Before June 2015 , Haley supported flying the Confederate flag on the statehouse grounds . In the immediate aftermath of the Charleston church shooting , Haley did not take a position on removing the flag , saying , " I think the state will start talking about that again , and we 'll see where it goes . " On June 22 , Haley called for the removal of the Confederate flag from the statehouse grounds . She stated : " These grounds the State Capital are a place that everybody should feel a part of . What I realized now more than ever is people were driving by and felt hurt and pain . No one should feel pain . " Haley also said , " There is a place for that flag , " but she added , " It 's not in a place that represents all people in South Carolina . " In July 2015 , Haley signed a bill to authorize removing the Confederate flag from the flagpole on the grounds of the South Carolina Capitol
