Union thugs protesting outside the homes of their targets has become a weapon more and more unions have added to their already-large arsenal. Now that the State of Georgia may become the first state to outlaw the offensive tactic, oddly enough, unions are getting support from an unlikely source–the Tea Party Patriots. Last year, when 45,000 union members struck telephone carrier Verizon, IBEW union radicals | Read More »

For all of the pro-union leanings of President Obama’s National Labor Relations Board appointees, the NLRB is, unwittingly, about to do something that those of us in the preventive labor relations field have been doing for years: Educate employees that they don’t need to pay dues to a union in order to exercise their rights. In 1935, Congress passed the National Labor Relations Act.  The cornerstone | Read More »

On Friday, Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson approved the union-dominated National Labor Relations Board’s mandate on nearly all private-sector companies to post so-called “union rights posters.” Additionally, Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, declined to hear a challenge to Obama’s recent NLRB appointments. In the union rights poster ruling, Berman Jackson ruled that the NLRB | Read More »

Andrew Breitbart‘s passing has left many of us stunned and stricken with grief. As a contributor at both RedState and BigGovernment, I knew Andrew only through discussions at conferences, texts, and an occasional telephone call. However, this morning, like so many, the news of his untimely death struck like a blow to the gut. Andrew Breitbart was one of a kind. He was an ordinary man | Read More »

A reader sent the following mailer (see below) from the Democratic National Committee targeting Florida’s female population. The DNC’s large, two-sided mailer reads like an Obama campaign piece (because it is one) and refers readers to a federal government website healthcare.gov. Interestingly, on one side of the mailer, the DNC tells the story of how Barack Obama was motivated to pass Obamacare by the passing of his | Read More »

Well, it only took four years for Machinists’ union boss Tom Buffenbarger to warm up to Barack Obama, whom the union boss once compared to Janus, the two-faced Roman god. On Friday, as it reluctantly dutifully did four years ago, the International Association of Machinists endorsed Barack Obama and his bid for a second term. In so doing, the Machinists’ union again joins the ranks | Read More »

In Delsea, New Jersey, the teachers’ union (a sub-chapter of the NEA) has been fighting over the amount of their pay increases (not decreases) since 2010.

Unfortunately, the school board president was not home—but his children were, including his daughter | Read More »

One of the biggest problems with the process known as card check (a major component in the union-backed and misleadingly-named Employee Free Choice Act) is that unions are legally allowed to mislead workers into signing their rights over to a union. Under various NLRB decisions that span decades, the federal agency that enforces most of America’s private-sector’s labor law has refused to interfere with union | Read More »

When discussing the National Labor Relations Board and its pro-union slant these days, few realize that the staff within the NLRB is also unionized. In fact, according to the National Labor Relations Board Union, the union represents over 950 NLRB attorneys, examiners and support staff. It is these individuals, along with their bosses within the NLRB, who are charged with remaining neutral in employer-union disputes—which | Read More »
