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 »
Taking pot shots at Americans who participate in Tea Parties is nothing new. However, union bosses know that the Tea Party movement is the most significant threat to advancing their Marxist agenda since the Cold War. As a result, AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka has been attacking the Americans who participate in Tea Parties whenever the opportunity presents itself. Yesterday, the AFL-CIO boss was on Chris | Read More »
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 »
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 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 »
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 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 »
With outgoing SEIU president Andy Stern having forever changed America through the nationalization of health care, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka is picking up where Andy is leaving off As President Obama goes out on the road to use his bully-pulpit to push financial reform, the AFL-CIO staged a major march on Wall Street yesterday. However, as with nearly every union grassroots astroturf effort, there is | Read More »
Lately, Politico’s Ben Smith seems to be the reporter embedded with labor leaders. Smith’s the guy that broke the SEIU Andy Stern resignation story and has had a lot of the scoop on what’s happening in the bedrooms within the House of Labor. As a result, his tweet on twitter this afternoon is particularly relevant as it relates to the job-destroying and hallucinogenically named Employee | Read More »
On financial reform, Americans are about to be duped into the Left’s agenda through cajoling and collusion just in time for the mid-term elections. Over a year ago, amidst the worst economic crisis in 70 years, newly-inaugurated populist President Barack Obama summoned Wall Street bankers to the White House to chastise them about the high salaries on Wall Street. Given that this meeting was before | Read More »
