Barack Obama’s Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, has never shied away from her affinity for union bosses. Though she has never been a union member herself (nor has she ever worked in the private sector), her love of unions, apparently, comes from her parents’ membership in unions. Unlike most political opportunists who have fought and climbed their way to the top of the political ladder | Read More »

Meet the SEIU Operative Running Barack Obama’s Re-Election Ground Game

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 30th at 08:00 PM  | 

Last Tuesday, a pair of seeming coincidences occurred: The first was an article that appeared in the Hill about the SEIU splitting the costs with Priorities USA Action on an anti-Mitt Romney ad in Florida. The second was an e-mail that went out from 1199SEIU featuring ex-1199SEIU boss and current political heavyweight, Patrick Gaspard.

A Note To Charlotte’s Workers: Get A Written Guarantee You Won’t Be Outsourced To Unions

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  November 7th at 04:30 PM  | 

Based on a tip last week and subsequent conversations with employees at Charlotte’s Ritz Carlton who, according to them, had been told that they are to be displaced by union workers during the DNC’s 2012 Convention, apparently Charlotte’s mayor and the hotel are saying that the story is untrue. According to WBT.com’s Chris Miller’s twitter feed: Ritz-Carlton calls today’s RedState story “absolutely false.” If the story | Read More »

Herman Cain: It’s not over…

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  September 25th at 02:15 PM  | 

By and large, many pundits have declared Herman Cain’s bid for the presidency a long shot at best, or already over… However, Herman Cain begs to differ…as do the straw poll delegates in Florida. “Thank you to the Republican voters for this incredible honor of being named the winner of the Presidency 5 straw poll in Florida today,” Mr. Cain said. “This is a sign | Read More »
