Scott Walker Offers Olive Branch, Fleebagging Democrats Spit in His Face
Despite the financial straits that Wisconsin is facing, the war being waged against Scott Walker has always been about union power.

The Monsters of McMinnville, Oregon: Radical teachers’ union gets MEAn
If one bad apple spoils the bushel, what happens when the whole bushel is rotten?

Union-Controlled NLRB Goes Fishing With Google, Hooks Itself ‘Independently’
In what may have been a just a mere not-so-innocent attempt at using Google to lure in new members for their union bosses, the allegedly “independent” National Labor Relations Board has created more questions about its practices than it probably would care to answer. Nevertheless, the questions do need answering. On Thursday, when it became known that the NLRB was running ads on Google on | Read More »
Bill Gates Weighs in on Wisconsin…Sort of.
Bill Gates, not exactly known for partisan politics, is sounding the alarm on states’ unfunded pensions and health care costs that are wreaking havoc on state budgets (now and in the foreseeable future).

NJ Union Caught Interfering With Turnpike Bidding Process Gets Shown the Exit

Gaming the System: Collective Bargaining in the Public Sector
As the unions’ and Democrats’ siege on the Wisconsin statehouse (to the tune of up to $7.5 million) comes to a close, their Regan MacNeil behavior slowly subsiding, the Heritage Foundation provides an excellent video explaining the whole problem with public-sector unions’ collective-bargaining scheme:
Liars Figure? Union-Controlled NLRB’s Numbers Questioned by House GOP
Yesterday, you saw how the union-controlled National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is using taxpayer money to buy ad space on Google on how to start a union. While this is only the latest activist-oriented action the NLRB has taken to promote unions [more here], it is but one small reminder of waste must be cut from government—waste that union-bosses and their agents in government don’t | Read More »
Tax-Payer Funded, Union-Run NLRB Using Google to Advertise ‘How to Start a Union’
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 President really wanted to create jobs, he would listen to his economic advisors, like former National Economic Advisor Larry Summers, who wrote: Another cause of | Read More »
