Pelosi Backpedals on #Occupy Movement

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 18th at 06:30 PM  | 

Democrat Nancy Pelosi’s penchant for hypocritical hyperbole is once again manifesting itself. Her latest example is regarding the #Occupy movement. Just a few short months ago, before the #Occupy movement exposed itself as a bunch of entitlement-driven neo-Communist criminals, Pelosi (and other Democrats) wholly embraced the squatters’ rag-tag movement. This was Pelosi then: Despite the fact that unions are now funding, coordinating, aiding and abetting | Read More »

The People’s Republic of Kalifornia: Unions’ Takeover Nearly Complete

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  June 29th at 08:00 AM  | 

It was only a matter of time, you know. As unions in California have long placed their cronies into political office from San Francisco to San Diego, their control over the state legislature in Sacramento is nearing final completion. What little Republican resistance there is will likely be decimated in the coming years as the SEIU’s plan to mate liberals with RINOs comes to fruition. Now, | Read More »

What is the difference between the SEIU & an armed robber?

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  June 5th at 09:45 PM  | 

That’s a rhetorical question. However, after seeing this L.A. Times passage from last month, one might come to the conclusion that 1) an armed robber usually only has one victim (whereas, the SEIU has millions), 2) an average armed robber does not have politicians in his back pocket, and 3) an armed robber is more intellectually honest—at least he tells you he’s robbing you, where | Read More »

Nation’s First Unionized Pot Farm Goes Bust, Oakland Loses Bid to Be Cannabis Capital

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  May 22nd at 09:00 AM  | 

Last year, prior to the defeat of California’s Proposition 19, it appeared as though unions had a budding new industry in which they could grow their memberships. First, the United Food & Commercial Workers jumped onto the cannabis bandwagon. Then, the Teamsters waded into the weed growing business when Jimmy Hoffa’s union unionized 40 pot growers in Oakland, California. Pretty soon, all of the unions (it | Read More »

AFSCME Boss Explains California’s Suicidal Tendencies…

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  April 20th at 02:15 PM  | 

For a state that had so much going for it, California is sinking into the depths of its own self-made depression. Businesses are fleeing in droves (including 70 more since January), the state has a projected $42 billion budget gap and is already awash in unfunded liabilities (the teachers’ pension fund alone is $56 billion underfunded), and human kind has taken backseat to the survival of a | 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 »

Union-Backed Democrat Urges an End to Right-to-Work States

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  June 17th at 12:26 AM  | 

Elections have consequences. In 28 states across the U.S., unionized workers can be forced to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment. If workers refuse to pay the union, the union can order them to be fired from their jobs. However, since 1947, the so-called Taft-Hartley Amendments to the National Labor Relations Act (passed over Pres. Harry Truman’s veto) enabled state legislatures | Read More »
