Labor Union Report - Page 3

If one bad apple spoils the bushel, what happens when the whole bushel is rotten? In a sleepy little suburb outside of Portland, Oregon, there is a monster lurking in the classroom, teaching schoolchildren their three Rs–Reading, Radicalism & Reprisal.

If it wasn’t clear enough with the auto bailouts, the health care battle, the effort to effectively eliminate secret-ballot elections on unionization, as well as the provocatively pro-union actions of the agencies governing labor-management relations (the NLRB and NMB), the

Apparently, President Obama likes to ignore his advisors. Either that or some agencies in Washington missed the President’s speech when he said he wanted job creation to be his number one priority. You see, one would think that, if the

It’s nearing two weeks since unions and their cohorts on the Left have thrown a nationwide fit over Scott Walker’s solution to what is ailing Wisconsin. Unions and Democrats have made Wisconsin their cause célèbre by deploying OFA astroturf, the

At this very moment, the battle for America’s future is happening in states all around the country as newly-elected governors try to wrest control from tax-eating unions. Today’s battle is just the beginning of what America will be facing through

As the union-controlled National Labor Relations Board continues its job-killing push to unionize America’s workplace–including deciding whether to break-up and unionize company employees by classification–Republican Congressman Tom Price (GA) has introduced an amendment to completely defund the NLRB through the

As the nation’s debt reaches 102% of the GDP and the President pushes a $3.73 trillion budget with more government spending than America can afford, there are innumerable ways in which the politicians should be slashing spending, but aren’t. One

“Twitter, Facebook, and various instant messaging platforms (SMS, Skype, Google Chat, etc.) act as force-multipliers for revolutionary movements…” — Jeffrey Carr ________________ As the world watches Egypt crumble into chaos, with over 100 dead and 2000 injured, the Obama administration

There was BIG news in Washington yesterday: Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), have introduced the Secret Ballot Protection Act. Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) introduced the Secret Ballot Protection Act (SBPA), legislation that will guarantee

Every movement that seeks to enslave a country, every dictatorship or potential dictatorship, needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it can blame for the nation’s troubles and use as a justification of its own demands for dictatorial powers.

As America begins to truly understand that having too much fat in one’s diet can lead to a heart attack, three interconnected stories* appeared in the last 24 hours that deserve some attention. The first is that, every January, the

Last May, a frightened teenager was trapped inside his home when a mob of SEIU astro-turfing thugs (estimated at 500 strong) trespassed on his front lawn to protest to intimidate his father, the deputy general counsel of the Bank of

With the United Auto Workers’ membership at a third of its former size, and the job-destroying card-check bill (the misleadingly-named Employee Free Choice Act) dead for now, UAW President Bob King and the rest of his Detroit henchmen have had

If you’re going to be required to pay for something, common sense would say that you should have the right to know how much it costs, right? After all, no one likes surprises–especially if those surprises cost trillions and you,

Congressman John Kline [R-MN] has been one of the House of Representatives’ most vocal opponent of SEIU’s labor board appointee, Craig Becker, as well as a vocal defender of workers’ right to choose by secret-ballot whether or not to become

They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. If that is true, then every non-union worker and legitimate union agent has great cause to be concerned. You see, the union-controlled National Labor Relations Board just paved

We have written on numerous occasions that the Obama Administration is controlled by union bosses. Throughout the administration, union bosses have planted their people in order to do their bidding to help unionize America. After you read this post, it

It is hard to believe that, when America’s founding fathers established our democratic republic, they could have envisioned it could be so easily manipulated and corrupted so cheaply. However, to Democrats and their union handlers, the ends apparently do justify

Just when you thought the left-wing race baiting over the last year couldn’t get any worse, the Communications Workers of America chief honcho Larry Cohen has sunk to new depths attacking those who do not agree with his socialist agenda.

By now, most Americans know how hard union bosses pushed, tugged, bullied and threatened, using tens of millions of their members’ money on advertising and lobbying, all to get health care reform passed. Most Americans also remember (though many did

Here is a prediction: Across the country, there will be races that some candidates will lose even though poll numbers, right now, indicate otherwise. As you read this, at present, you should know that there are only seemingly disconnected anecdotal

Back in June, we reported that California Congressman Brad Sherman (D) was circulating a letter to his fellow Democrats to introduce legislation to repeal “Right-to-Work” laws in 22 states. Now, with less than a month before the mid-term elections and

When Nancy Reagan launched her “Just Say No to Drugs” campaign in the early 1980s, Bill Clinton may (or may not) have still been inhaling, while Barack Obama almost certainly was. Nevertheless, politicians in the 1980s might not have known

With their pension plans about ready to implode (no wonder they’re clamoring for a union pension bailout), a union boss who was just dumped by his top running mate, and with hundreds of members out on strike, the International Brotherhood

The question in the title of this post is more rhetorical because, in answer to the question, we are all (to varying degrees) helping to fund the demise of America and, for most of us, we are doing it every

Grandpa Wouldn’t Recognize Today’s Unions. Nationwide, as many Americans have begun to see, unions have become one of the largest special interest groups in the nation–and often at the expense of taxpayers and, in many cases, other workers. As unions

As perverted as this may seem, there is almost no company that is too small to become a target of a union, as long as there are at least two employees. Even worse, adding to the already-lengthy trail of industrial

It’s truly fascinating, and not the least bit ironic, when union bosses treat their own workers as bad or worse than the employers they attack. As union bosses clamor for enactment of so-called “card check,” (otherwise known as Employee Free

Somewhere lurking in the hot, putrid halls of Congress this summer is a union bailout bill of epic proportions and long-term ramifications. Whether or not Democrats can ultimately push it (or something like it) into passage is yet to be

Context is everything. As the Left (including the NAACP) has tried to brand the Tea Party movement as ‘racists’ over the last year, they’ve engaged in racial politics at their worst using the tactics of Saul Alinsky to try to

These days, any time unions go all out to push anything, you can bet there’s a hidden agenda. Take for example the newly enacted “financial reform legislation” that gives unions the ability (through their pension funds) to put union activists

No. You really can’t make this up. In their quest to find new members, unions are searching high and low–but especially high. A couple of months ago, some pot (as in marijuana) workers in California unionized with the United Food

There are many who argue that President Obama has (repeatedly) broken his promise to bring transparency and openness to the White House. In literal terms, however, Obama may not have actually broken that specific promise (as opposed to all the

On the heels of an abysmal unemployment report, striking clerical workers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach (CA) are threatening to put an even bigger damper on the nation’s already-sagging economy. When members of the International Longshore

Upon an initial read, a company owner’s actions that are described in this Newsday article appear to be way over the top… The National Labor Relations Board required that Matrix Realty Group post this notice in its Danbury, Conn. complex:

We’ve theorized previously that there may be a smoking gun tying the connection between President Obama and ousted-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich: That smoking gun being the Service Employees International Union. Well, the smell of gunpowder is filling the Illinois courtroom
