For background to this story, go here. The SEIU’s civil lawsuit against the former leaders of one of its largest locals is over and, while the SEIU is certain to claim a victory…it appears to be a very hollow victory. Instead of getting the $25 million the SEIU originally sought (and after the union allegedly spent millions on the suit), the union of purple people eaters is | Read More »
We couldn’t make this up if we tried… From Copenhagen: Their daily ration of free Carlsberg is no small beer for employees of the Danish brewer who are now blocking deliveries to force management to turn the taps back on. “Around 250 of our workers and drivers are on strike at our warehouse in Hoeje-Taastrup, just outside of Copenhagen,” Carlsberg’s communications director Jens Bekke said. | Read More »
In 2008, the SEIU’s Lord of Labor Andy Stern declared that the Service Employees International Union, the purple behemoth of collectivist unions, would be playing hardball, setting aside $10 million to “unelect” politicians that don’t kowtow to the SEIU’s wishes by kissing the progressively purple rings. We would like to make sure people appreciate that we take them at their word and when they don’t | Read More »
There’s making an argument, then there’s making stuff up. A couple of weeks ago, Andrew Breitbart offered a $100,000 reward to anyone who could provide evidence that the “n” word was shouted by a Tea Party protester at the health care protest in Washington. So far, the Left has not provided any evidence and Breitbart has kept his money. On Thursday, AFL-CIO top boss Richard | Read More »
Pennsylvania’s octogenarian Democrat Republican Democrat Senator Arlen Spectre forgot which party he belongs to… Speaking to a group of College Democrats at Penn State University on Tuesday, the Pennsylvania senator suffered an embarrassing slip of the tongue. “I’m proud to have been endorsed by the College Republicans,” Specter said, before correcting himself. According to the student newspaper StateCollege.com, a campaign organizer called Specter out to correct | Read More »
Following our earlier post on the UAW suing Government General Motors, a friend sent us this story about the Government Accountability Office warning that U.S. taxpayers may have to cough up another $14.5 billion to bail out the UAW pensions of both Government General Motors and Chrysler. Automakers General Motors and Chrysler will need to put billions of dollars into their pension plans over the next five years | Read More »
Ordinarily, seeing a headline that states “UAW sues General Motors” would require a real quick scan, get the gist of the story, post it (or not), then move on. In this case, however, the moving on part came to an abrupt, screeching halt… Hey! Wait a minute! Long pause, closer look: Today, the UAW filed a lawsuit against General Motors, claiming the automaker owes the | Read More »
For the last 15 minutes (it is 8:28 pm EST) , I have getting “malware” warnings each time I try to go to others’ diaries. I am not sure if RedState has been infected, but the warning has now occurred at least half a dozen times…but not on the main page…only on diaries. Please look into this. Also, can you please remove this post as | Read More »
How much pay are you willing to go without* in order to trash talk your employer? That issue seems to be front and center of the nearly week-long strike by 1,500 unionized health care professionals [emphasis added for obvious reasons] in Philadelphia. Striking nurses in Philadelphia say a proposed speech restriction and the loss of a college tuition benefit are at the heart of a | Read More »
When you hear people rail against public workers and their unions, there’s a reason for it. Not only do our taxes go to pay their salaries…and benefits…and pensions, they also go to pay their back pay when an arbitrator rules that not knowing that a plea bargain is a conviction doesn’t constitute falsification of an application. Last year, the city of Pittsburgh fired five Public | Read More »
