As Debt Commission Plan Fails, Unions Have a Solution: Spend MORE money!
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | December 3rd at 02:30 PM |
It’s official: Obama’s debt reduction commission has failed. Not surprisingly, former SEIU boss Andy Stern was among those who voted against the plan. The closely-followed US debt commission failed to pass its deficit reduction plan Friday, once more pushing back hard choices about America’s ballooning national debt. Only 11 of the group’s 18 members backed the plan, three short of the 14 required to send | Read More »
Phase Two: Reclaiming America Precinct by Precinct
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 8th at 06:00 AM |
You may remember about a year ago, when a Boy Scout’s volunteerism caused the SEIU to threaten to file a grievance against the city of Allentown, Pennsylvania. It created quite a stir and eventually the SEIU backed down. Nearly a year later, however, the Allentown City Council is back in the news—this time taking up the matter of possibly passing a so-called Project Labor Agreement (or PLA, | Read More »
Florida’s Character Assassins: The AFL-CIO, those ‘outlaw’ bikers and Allen West
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 27th at 12:01 AM |
Union lackey and former lobbyist Ron Klein [D] and the rest of his left-wing sycophants hate Allen West, the Republican candidate running for Congress in Florida’s 22nd District. He is everything they fear in a candidate from the Right and represents everything they are opposed to. Allen West is a pro-military, pro-freedom, and he’s a man of principle. He does not believe union bosses should be cutting | Read More »
Viva la Union? Breaking the Stranglehold of Government Unions Before It’s Too Late.
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 25th at 12:00 PM |
Last week, it was revealed that the government workers’ union AFSCME is spending $87.5 million to try to keep Democrats from being defeated on November 2nd. Interestingly, some people seemed shocked by this. They really shouldn’t be though. For decades, America’s union bosses have touted a desire to be more like their European counterparts and they’ve figured out the only way for them to accomplish | Read More »

AFL-CIO: People who believe in 10th Amendment have “cultish beliefs”
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 22nd at 01:00 PM |
When the term astro-turf didn’t stick, and tea bagger was thrown into the harbor of bad ideas, union bosses went into overdrive trying to think of new and creative ways to demean Americans who don’t agree with their socio-fascist ideals. Earlier this week, the CWA’s Larry Cohen decided that the Tea Party Movement advocates slavery. Now, the AFL-CIO is charging that Americans who believe in the | Read More »
“Economic Treason” & the Confiscation of America
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 11th at 06:00 AM |
YOU are the ONLY thing in the way of them fulfilling their agenda. Over the last year (and longer), we’ve written on the union push to nationalize America’s retirement system and how important the $165 billion union pension bailout bill is to union bosses and their lackeys in the Democratic Party. Moreover, for two years, we’ve written how America’s health care system will be socialized medicine within three | Read More »
BREAKING: Democrat Introduces Legislation to End Right-to-Work States
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 4th at 07:00 PM |
Back in June, we reported that California Congressman Brad Sherman (D) was circulating a letter to his fellow Democrats to introduce legislation to repeal “Right-to-Work” laws in 22 states. Now, with less than a month before the mid-term elections and five weeks before a lame-duck session in Congress, Sherman has introduced legislation to eliminate state Right to Work laws all across America. Currently, there are | Read More »
The OneNation March: November’s Choices Are Clearer Than Ever
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 3rd at 01:56 AM |
The choices in November and beyond have never, ever been clearer… They came, they preached Marx, they trashed D.C., disrespected WWII vets (yes, those are SEIU signs), attacked Tea Parties as ‘insidious’ and ‘villainous,’ and they showed the rest of America what vile contempt they have for the Land of the Free. By all accounts, it was a success. For they were finally able to | Read More »

Teamsters Attempt to Oust FedEx Founder & Chairman Fred Smith from Co.
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | September 27th at 07:30 PM |
They’ve been agitating for a complete redistribution of wealth and power for more than 100 years. Now, they’re getting pretty darn close to accomplishing it. Following the AFL-CIO’s August attempt to fire Michael Dell at Dell Computers, the Teamsters have gone gunning for the founder of FedEx, Chairman Fred Smith. From the Teamsters’ press release: At FedEx Corporation’s [NYSE: FDX] annual meeting today the Teamsters’ | Read More »
AFL-CIO Boss: Fox & ‘Confused’ Tea Partiers Deliver a ‘Cynical, Deeply Dishonest, and Incoherent Message.’
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | September 27th at 04:15 PM |
AFL-CIO Boss Richard Trumka, the same guy who pled the Fifth Amendment before Congress is doing all he can to carry the Democrats’ water for the mid-term elections, including (but not limited to) demonizing Tea Party activists. Last Friday, Trumka lobbed some rhetorical grenades at Tea Party activists using terms such as confused, cynical, deeply dishonest, and incoherent. Trumka and Working America Executive Director Karen | Read More »
