By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 21st at 05:00 PM  | 

The fallout over Barack Obama’s decision to kill 20,000 (mostly) union jobs on the proposed Keystone XL pipeline project continues as the Laborers International Union of North America left the BlueGreen Alliance Friday afternoon. Founded in 2006, the BlueGreen Alliance is a political pairing of left-wing unions and environmental groups whose mission (so to speak) is to ensure that America’s conversion to a green economy | Read More »

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 »

CT Gov Schemes With SEIU To Unionize Day Care Providers & Others Without A Vote

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  December 8th at 06:30 PM  | 

Connecticut’s union-bought governor, Daniel Malloy, is apparently scheming with the SEIU to unionize his state’s daycare providers and personal care attendants through a secret plan using the flawed method of card-check unionization. By stripping individuals of their right to vote on whether or not to unionize, Malloy is virtually guaranteeing money (paid by taxpayers) will go into his SEIU cronies’ pockets. According to Raising Hale’s | Read More »

California’s Jerry Brown Shows Some Sanity With Card-Check Veto

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  June 29th at 02:30 PM  | 

It’s bad enough when the federal government forced a man-made drought in order to save a fresh-water sardine, costing farmers and farm workers their livelihoods.  However, when the lunatic Left in California’s legislature passed SB104–an Orwellian bill to effectively strip California’s migrant farm workers of their right to a secret-ballot election–it seemed almost a fait accompli that liberal governor Jerry Brown (who granted farm workers  the | Read More »

Union Hypocrisy 101: Do as AFSCME Bosses Say, Not as They Do

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  March 4th at 09:43 AM  | 

First some background: Union bosses have spent HUNDREDS of MILLIONS (dare we say over a billion?) of dollars over these past few years trying to get the hallucinogencially-named Employee Free Choice Act enacted. One of the hallmark provisions of EFCA is what is known as “card-check.” Card-check means that if 50%+1 of a given unit of employees sign union authorization cards, the union wins without | Read More »

If you thought individual rights are under seige today, here’s something you may not know:  Union bosses and Democrats (which has become the de facto Labor Party in the U.S. today) have a plan that will further cause your individual rights to deteriorate, increase unemployment, as well as help establish one-party rule for years to come.  It’s a hallucinogencially-named bill called the Employee Free Choice Act (or EFCA).
