Ex-SEIU & Current DNC Boss On ObamaCare Ruling: “It’s Constitutional. B*tches.”

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  June 28th at 03:00 PM  | 

Though the grand master of community organizing, Saul Alinsky, may be dead, Alinsky’s disciples like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Patrick Gaspard are powerful positions and they are plentiful. However, even though their titles may have changed (e.g., Community Organizer to President of the United States), as the head of the Barack Obama’s re-election campaign machine, one might think that Patrick Gaspard would at least | Read More »

Open Thread: SEIU’s Astroturf Paid $20 To Protest For ObamaCare Outside SCOTUS

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  March 29th at 12:00 PM  | 

As you watch the video below [via SEIU Monitor], you can tell the astroturf protesters bused in by the SEIU yesterday to protest outside the Supreme Court for ObamaCare hold some very deep convictions. In fact, their convictions run so deep, it seems all they care about is the $20 given to them in brown envelopes by their union handlers. Ironically, as SEIU Monitor points | Read More »

The Left No Longer Finds Dissent Patriotic

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  March 26th at 04:46 AM  | 

Workforce Fairness is releasing a series of videos chronicling left-wing intimidation, including showing up at people’s houses to harass them and their families. We’re pleased to debut the first of the videos here at RedState. The videos document a growing trend in American civic discourse — the use of intimidation against private citizens to punish dissent. Listen to Media Matters For America and other outlets | Read More »

SEIU Organizing Tactics Include Intimidation and Lying To Workers, Company Alleges

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  February 24th at 11:00 AM  | 

One of the biggest problems with the process known as card check (a major component in the union-backed and misleadingly-named Employee Free Choice Act) is that unions are legally allowed to mislead workers into signing their rights over to a union. Under various NLRB decisions that span decades, the federal agency that enforces most of America’s private-sector’s labor law has refused to interfere with union | Read More »

Meet the SEIU Operative Running Barack Obama’s Re-Election Ground Game

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 30th at 08:00 PM  | 

Last Tuesday, a pair of seeming coincidences occurred: The first was an article that appeared in the Hill about the SEIU splitting the costs with Priorities USA Action on an anti-Mitt Romney ad in Florida. The second was an e-mail that went out from 1199SEIU featuring ex-1199SEIU boss and current political heavyweight, Patrick Gaspard. While the two appeared unrelated, what they do have in common is | Read More »

Inside the Mind of a SEIU Political Activist & Insider

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 16th at 04:30 PM  | 

Meet Jessica Shearer, Executive Director of the Healthcare Education Project at 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East. In the 14-minute video below, Ms. Shearer, sitting in a panel discussion (with an unknown Tea Party activist beside her), discusses a variety of topics, such as: The current excitement over the OccupyWallSt movement and what it means to the union movement The inability of unions to motivate | Read More »

Search Warrant Issued For SEIU Organizer In Out-of-State Voter Case

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 6th at 01:00 PM  | 

Last April, after months of laying siege to the Wisconsin capitol building, unions poured $4.5 million into the state to unseat Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser in an election. Though their efforts ultimately failed, unions did all they could legally and now, it seems, illegally to win at all costs. In October, Media Trackers uncovered documents exposing three SEIU-affiliated individuals who took advantage of | Read More »

Union Bosses Applaud Obama’s Unconstitutional Appointments to Union-Controlled NLRB

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  January 4th at 11:30 PM  | 

On Wednesday afternoon, the current President of the United States did what may be described as an unconstitutional end run around the United States Senate by “recess appointing” three nominees to the National Labor Relations Board (as well as to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) even though the Senate is not in recess. Notwithstanding the CFPB appointment, Obama’s seating of the three NLRB appointees—two of whom are | 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 »

Expectedly, AFSCME Endorses Obama, Vows To Spend $100 Million On 2012 Election

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  December 6th at 01:45 PM  | 

A few weeks ago, you were provided with a PowerPoint overview overview of the battle ahead in 2012 and what must be done to become a Force Multiplier. With the Obama re-election campaign in full swing since January when ex-SEIU political director Patrick Gaspard left the White House to help run the campaign through OFA, union bosses have expectedly begun lining up their endorsements. In | Read More »

SEIU Endorses Barack Obama, Steals #OWS Slogan, & Descends Into Banality

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  November 16th at 04:30 PM  | 

On some days, there must waves of nostalgia that wash over the SEIU rank and file for former-SEIU-boss-turned-corporate-insider Andy Stern and his cohort Anna Burger. At least, prior to Stern’s company doing questionable drug deals with the Obama administration, as a union boss, Stern was more creative than his successors. Take, for example, the SEIU’s endorsement of Barack Obama for next year’s election. That, in | Read More »

Stuck in traffic on November 17th? Look for the union label!

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  November 16th at 09:00 AM  | 

The n-dimensional geniuses over at SEIU (Michigan) have decided to link up with the Occupy Ringworm people in declaring November 17th to be Bridge Action Day – which should, of course, be more accurately characterized as Bridge Inaction Day.  The idea is that all these public sector union folks will take an unofficial day off from their jobs – which are probably a lot more | Read More »

Union Bosses Express Outrage Over #OccupyEvictions: “We are the 99%*.”

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  November 15th at 09:30 PM  | 

In the wee hours of Tuesday morning, the New York Police Department finally began to restore the rule of law by “evicting” the Neo-Communist vagrants and squatters occupying lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park for the last nearly two months. This comes after similar ousters occurred across the country. Although the squatting trespassers didn’t go quietly as dozens ended up occupying handcuffs and the occupiers even stormed nearby | Read More »

Undercover at #OccupyCleveland

By: Paula Bolyard (Diary)  |  October 7th at 04:00 PM  | 

[promoted from the diaries] On Thursday, a friend and I made the trip to downtown Cleveland to check out the #OccupyCleveland protest. The Facebook page predicted there would be 800-ish people attending, but the actual number on opening day was closer to 200.  We dressed to blend in with the crowd so we could fully embrace the experience, spending the better part of the day with | Read More »

SHOCK! Laborers’ Union To Pay Up To $12.5 Million To Get Rid Of ‘Cheese-Eating Rat’ SEIU

By: LaborUnionReport (Diary)  |  September 21st at 09:00 AM  | 

Union hypocrisy notwithstanding, the sheer amount of money that the Laborers International Union of North America would shell out to bust the SEIU is staggering–between $10 million and $12.5 million—is staggering. Very simply, the SEIU is persona non grata when it comes to representing LIUNA’s employees in Toronto (and presumably anywhere). So, rather than dealing with the union representing its own staffers, the Laborers’ union | Read More »
