If there’s one thing about the Marxists controlling today’s unions, it is that they are predictable. If you watch them long enough, the pattern is always the same: Demand the extreme with something attainable in mind as the fallback position. In labor relations, the making of outrageous demands is a classic negotiating tactic at the bargaining table because union negotiators know company negotiators will only agree to | Read More »

In February, when North Carolina was awarded the Democratic National Convention over forced-union states, we alerted you to the devil in the details of the DNC having its convention in a predominantly union-free state. At issue is something traditionally known as Project Labor Agreements that give work to unionized employers and, as well,  discriminate against union-free workers.

As Ohio’s SB5 (collective bargaining reform) goes to a vote on November 8th, pressure is being ramped up in the final week and a half.

With Saul Alinsky‘s Rules for Radicals still listed in ‘The Activist’s Library’ on the National Education Association’s website, as disturbing as this is, it really should come as no surprise. Yet, somehow, the blatancy of the NEA Foundation giving a grant to a ‘team’ of teachers in Muskego, Wisconsin to create activists out of first and second graders is still shocking. Ms. Burmesch and a | Read More »

It’s become something of a legend among unions and the nation’s labor relations community but, for those old enough to remember the mid-90s, when Whole Foods was under constant attack by the United Food & Commercial Workers, John Mackey, Whole Foods’ CEO once shared his opinion of unions with a reporter, as follows: “The union is like having herpes. It doesn’t kill you, but it’s | Read More »
