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 »

SEIU’s Manifesto? Stephen Lerner Doubles Down on Crippling America’s Economic System

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  March 29th at 07:30 PM  | 

Last week, The Blaze posted two audio recordings of Stephen Lerner, an SEIU boss who was lecturing an audience on how to bring down the American economy. While Lerner had reportedly been fired from the SEIU last year, it turns out that that may not have been the case. During the audio, Lerner was introduced as being “of SEIU.” Moreover, former ACORN founder, Chief Organizer | Read More »

The SEIU, Illegals & ‘Human Trafficking’

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  March 24th at 12:00 PM  | 

We know that the SEIU wants to convert millions of illegal aliens into U.S. citizens. We know the SEIU’s goal is to turn those illegal aliens-turned-U.S. citizens into a “progressive voters.” We know that the SEIU’s membership consists of illegal aliens from whom they collect union dues because they say so—freely. We know that the SEIU does not want enforcement of immigration laws, be it in | Read More »

SIGA’s stocks more than double since SEIU’s Andy Stern was hired on board

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 1st at 07:00 PM  | 

Former SEIU boss Andy Stern doesn’t quite deserve all of the credit. After all, SIGA Technologies’ scientists did come up with ST-246 (a smallpox vaccine) long before Stern was brought on board to pitch the company to his friends in Washington. However, hiring Andy Stern (who happened to have a key to the back door of the White House) was most assuredly a good investment | Read More »

Winners & Losers: AFL-CIO Abandons Obama on ‘NAFTA-Style’ Trade Deal

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  December 10th at 09:30 AM  | 

What a week! When it was mentioned on Monday that this would be interesting to watch with popcorn in hand, who could have imagined just how interesting it would get? Between Monday and today, the President of the United States has been called a sellout and ‘mentally disturbed,’ as well as essentially told to go reproduce himself (in a not-fit-for-print sort of way), all by | Read More »

A House Divided: Andy Stern’s Ex Slams UAW’s King Over South Korean Sell Out

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  December 6th at 06:00 AM  | 

Incredibly, there are people who are further to the left than former-SEIU boss Andy Stern. One of them happens to be Vladimir Lenin his ex-girlfriend, Jane Hamsher (former Hollywood producer and current proprietor of the ultra-left blog Firedoglake). Purportedly, Jane dumped Andy when he backed down from the public option in ObamaCare. Some months later, after Andy left the union movement and got a job as a | Read More »

ObamaCare: Union Waiver Favors Pile Up

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  November 15th at 07:00 AM  | 

Union bosses fought tooth and nail to nationalize America’s health care—even, in many cases, to the detriment of their own members. Now, instead of chewing on and swallowing what they bit off, unions are getting waivers to the very plan that they shoved down everyone else’s throat. Here’s the list of known unions* getting ObamaCare waivers:

EXPOSED! America’s Democracy traded away for a slice of pizza!

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  November 1st at 08:00 AM  | 

It is hard to believe that, when America’s founding fathers established our democratic republic, they could have envisioned it could be so easily manipulated and corrupted so cheaply. However, to Democrats and their union handlers, the ends apparently do justify the means when it comes to transforming America. America’s democratic system for electing our representatives is supposed to be a model for the rest of the | Read More »

This is STUNNING: SEIU’s Racism Rears Its Ugly Head Again

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  October 25th at 08:00 PM  | 

One paragraph in a story about a Chicago politician teaming up with the SEIU to get out the vote on November 2nd says a lot about the SEIU and its views of African Americans. It is one thing for the SEIU to send in paid (and unpaid) operatives to get people out to vote, it is quite another for them to target a race because | 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 »
