Union Bosses Are Funneling Millions to Democrats to Keep Money Flowing To Them

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  October 16th at 08:00 AM  | 

Last year, for the first time ever, the number of public-sector union members exceeded private-sector union members.  As it has been estimated (conservatively) that private-sector union members (most of them under the threat of losing their jobs) shell out  $13-$15 billion annually in union dues, given the growth in public-sector unions, the union industry easily rakes in in excess of $26 billion or more per year in | Read More »

ObamaCare: The Chickens Come Home to Roost…

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  October 15th at 05:15 AM  | 

By now, most Americans know how hard union bosses pushed, tugged, bullied and threatened, using tens of millions of their members’ money on advertising and lobbying, all to get health care reform passed.  Most Americans also remember (though many did not believe) the promises that health care reform would make health care “affordable for all.” And no one can forget how the legislation was sold to Americans: | Read More »

Democrats Are Funding Their Campaigns With Money Taken From Foreign Nationals

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  October 13th at 03:30 PM  | 

Do you remember the game of Whack-A-Mole?  You know, the game you play on the boardwalk or at the county fair where, for a couple of bucks, you can win a stuffed toy for ‘whacking’ these stupid cartoonish-looking moles on the head with a mallet when they pop up? Well, this one is almost too easy. Last week, when the White House and DNC launched | Read More »

A Modern Day Jonah: When good people are swallowed whole by the SEIU…

You remember the story of Jonah, don’t you?  Well, Jonah was only trapped for three days… [via the Chicago Daily Observer.]

SEIU: They can dish it out, but they can’t take it…

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  October 8th at 03:00 PM  | 

Do you remember a few months ago, when the SEIU and its mob of zombies stomped all over private property, terrorizing a 14-year old boy who was home alone at the time?…And the police facilitated it stood by and did nothing? Well, get a load of this: A week after Arizona governor Jan Brewer knocked the once-mighty United Food & Commercial Workers out of the Boycott | 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 »

Just days before Socialist Saturday, unions remind Americans of Obama roots

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  September 27th at 02:45 PM  | 

Aesop, meet Obama. Just days before Socialist Saturday (see #hashtags below), a series of union-related events are beginning to become large enough of an embarrassment to the Obama administration that they may be hard for the media to ignore any longer. With the abrupt departure of SEIU über-boss Andy Stern, the rejection (and subsequent departure) of his hand-chosen successor, Anna Burger, the President’s friends at | Read More »

Jan Brewer Shows She’s Got More Brass Than the SEIU & What’s-His-Name

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  September 23rd at 12:19 AM  | 

There are certain defining moments in some politicians’ careers that take them from the status of politician to a real leader.  In Arizona, the fight over SB1070 is Governor Jan Brewer’s defining moment. In the fight over SB1070, Jan Brewer has stood up to Barack Obama, his Washington (and Chicago) entourage, as well as the “hand inside Barack Obama’s puppet,” the Service Employees International Union. | Read More »

“All Politics is Local” – How Deeply Unions Have Penetrated American Politics

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  September 18th at 07:57 PM  | 

When the late Thomas “Tip” O’Neil coined the phrase “All politics is local,” there were some who ignored this now-famous adage (to their peril) and others who took heed and put it to use.  One political entity that has put the “all politics is local” adage to use is the U.S. labor movement. It is only within the last few years that many Americans have | Read More »

A Teachable Moment in Union Hypocrisy: ‘I Was Fired for Trying to Start a Union at the UFT.’

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  August 15th at 01:32 PM  | 

It’s truly fascinating and not the least bit ironic when union bosses treat their own workers as bad or worse than the employers they attack. As union bosses clamor for enactment of so-called “card check,” (otherwise known as Employee Free Choice Act), it seems that when confronted with union issues among their own employees, they act every bit as barbaric as the robber barons of | Read More »
