By the looks of it, it’s hard to tell there’s a recession going on by looking at the salaries some Teamster bosses are raking in. Every year, the Teamsters for a Democratic Union compiles the list of Teamster bosses earning six-figure salaries. The 2011 $150,000 Club was released on Friday and shows, unlike many of their members who have suffered job and pay cuts, Teamster | Read More »
Here’s the good news: On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act—a bill to maintain the delicate balance in NLRB-conducted union elections. Here’s the bad news: The bill, which is actually one of the better bills for employers and their employees to come out of the union-related bills floating around the House, has no chance of becoming law while | Read More »
Let’s establish this right out of the gate so as not to confuse issues: It is wrong when corporations use child labor. Forgetting the law for a moment, whether it is here in the U.S. or overseas, children are children, and corporations should not exploit children. Got it? With that said, this is not about corporations, this is about families and farms. More specifically, family | Read More »
According to The Hill, unions and their Democrats in Congress are apoplectic over the fact that Brian Hayes, the lone Republican on Barack Obama’s National Labor Relations Board, has (allegedly) threatened to resign in protest over the union appointees at the NLRB deciding on Wednesday (Nov. 30th) to force ambush elections on companies and their employees. Due to a Supreme Court decision, where the high court ruled | Read More »
Apparently, the Black Friday Occupation isn’t working out so well for some #OWS protesters in Oklahoma City [#OccupyOKC]. After standing in the middle of the check out lanes and attempting to convince the WalMart workers to give up their jobs (jobs are slavery now, according to #OccupyOKC) and the shoppers to quit shopping, they tried to make a run for it and, based on the | Read More »
Not that this should be surprising since Marxists have been behind and involved with in the #OccupyWallSt movement since Day One when the September protests began, but the Neo-Coms in the unionized #OWS movement are now getting more formal advice from their philosophical mentors, the Communist Party USA. In a lengthy post about the importance of the 2012 on the Communist Party USA’s website, Connecticut | Read More »
Some background to the presentation below: After observing the trends on the Left for many years, in early February 2009, during a meeting with a friend familiar with the “hydra” that the Left had built, we lamented on how there was nothing on the Right to combat the behemoth that had been built by unions, the institutional Left, with the help of the mainstream media, | Read More »
Did it really need to take two months for New York City Mayor Bloomberg to figure out that unions have hijacked the #OccupyMovement? Most sane observers knew that from the very start when when the Transport Workers Union in New York endorsed the squatters in Zuccotti Park, opening the flood gates for other unions, the Democrats, and the institutional Left to climb on board. Since then, unions | Read More »
It seems that Friday afternoons are always the time to drop job-killing news on America’s job creators. In this case, the union appointees within Barack Obama’s National Labor Relations Board have issued a press release stating they will be issuing their final rule on ambush elections on November 30th. In mid-June, the union-controlled NLRB issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making on the procedures governing NLRB-conducted | Read More »
For years, unions have created a myth around manufacturing in the United States having been destroyed by the [ insert perjorative here ]. The fact is, manufacturing is not dead in the United States. It is a myth created to mislead the public on unions’ own destructiveness on companies and the jobs of employees. What union bosses have been screaming about is, in fact, the decline | Read More »
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 »
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 »
Their employer has nearly $1 billion in the bank, owns a golf resort, and is a major shareholder of not one but two U.S. auto companies. Given that, one would think their employer wouldn’t treat its employees like the very corporations their bosses often do battle with. However, since 2009, the union workers have been subjected to cut backs and are now facing even more layoffs. | Read More »
On Saturday, a female protester was raped at #OccupyPhiladelphia. The suspect, a man who has been arrested “multiple times” in connection with a string of armed robberies in Michigan, had traveled cross country to join the protest. On top of the reports of assaults and rapes occurring across the country (e.g., Cleveland, Dallas, and elsewhere), Andrew Breitbart posted a video of an Occupy protester at the epicenter | Read More »
According to the Los Angeles Times, with the exception of existing in locked freezers in Russia and U.S. labs, the smallpox virus was eradicated in 1978. Yet, in a no-bid contract, the Obama administration has given $443 million of American taxpayers’ money for a “experimental smallpox drug” to a bio-defense company, Siga, controlled by billionaire Democrat-donor Ron Perleman and whose board ex-SEIU boss Andy Stern | Read More »
