We hate to say “we told you so”….but we did. Union bosses will be soon handed the keys to Corporate America’s boardrooms. Finance bill favors interests of unions, activists The financial reform bill expected to clear Congress this week is chock-full of provisions that have little to do with the financial crisis but cater to the long-standing agendas of labor unions and other Democratic interest groups. | Read More »
It’s bad enough that workers are forced to pay unions because their state law allows it but it’s even worse when the union fails to make the insurance premium payments for those workers because someone has stolen the money. A Bakersfield woman is under investigation on allegations of embezzling more than $350,000 of insurance premiums from local members of the Service Employees International Union. Brandi | Read More »
Sexual harassment? Perhaps congressional staffers should call EEOC… Unsafe working conditions? Perhaps congressional staffers should call OSHA… Perhaps congressional staffers should unionize… Where’s Gloria Steinham? Richard Trumka? Maybe congressional staffers should call their Congressmen?… Oh! That’s right! Congress has exempted itself from the laws that govern private-sector workplaces. Well, then that explains the current problem. …abused [congressional] employees have collected an average of $1 million | Read More »
Dan Benishek is a Republican candidate in Michigan. He is fighting to unseat a union-lackey that just happens to have an R after his name. This same lackey helped give the SEIU control of 40,000 home health care workers, with many of them not knowing that a political side deal was cut. The SEIU rakes in $6 million a year in dues from these workers, | Read More »
Cross-posted on LaborUnionReport.com The Union of Ailing Workplaces…er…United Auto Workers is targeting Toyota for (like) the umpteenth time. This time, however, the union seems to be trying to throw the race card into it, by bringing Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow PUSH coalition into the campaign, as well as somehow drawing Martin Luther King into its efforts to unionize the car company. “We’re gonna be out | Read More »
There are very few women in politics these days that union bosses hate more than Minnesota Republican Michelle Bachmann (the exception, of course, being the Mama Grizzly herself, Sarah Palin). Why?

As a candidate back in 2007 and 2008, Barack Obama seemed to many people (actually, a majority of voters*) to be almost too good to be true: A man who was inspiring, a leader who could lead by consensus (yet still command control), and a politician who would demand accountability and hold his administration to higher standards than those in the past. In sum, Candidate | Read More »
Dear Joe (is it still okay to call you Joe?): I’m sort of shocked, Joe. Are you guys serious? Y’all seem to be going to a lot of trouble to convince us to believe something other than the truth. You’re really starting a campaign to try to convince us that you’re not ‘anti-business’? Really? Don’t you guys have anything better to do? Maybe figure out a | Read More »
On the day that President Barack Obama signed the nationalization of America’s health care into law, Service Employees International Union’s then-president Andy Stern shot a gushing video to his membership thanking the SEIU membership for “changing America forever.” Since that day, Andy Stern has ‘retired’ from the SEIU, taken a position on the Board of Directors of SIGA Technologies, as well as still sits at | Read More »
