The U.S. Police State Outrages Continue: Why is the TSA strip searching little boys?
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 21st at 12:30 AM |
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated… ______________________ You may have heard about Janet Napolitano’s blue shirts forcing a cancer-surviving flight attendant to remove her prosthetic breast, or the woman whose pants the TSA’s hand went down: “I was shaking and crying when I left that room” Moroney | Read More »
Outrageous! Iowa’s Lame Duck Guv Slams State With $200 Million Union Deal
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 20th at 08:00 PM |
Iowa’s outgoing Democrat Governor Chet Culver gave his union buddies at AFSCME a true ‘sweetheart deal’ on Friday—a two-year contract worth $200 million taken from Iowa’s taxpayers. The funny thing is, Culver didn’t even bother to negotiate a better deal for the state’s taxpayers. In fact, Culver didn’t bother to negotiate at all. Instead, Culver took what was asked for by AFSCME and put it | Read More »
TSA Unionization: A $30 Million Annual Gift to Union Bosses
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 17th at 11:00 AM |
When we have an administration more concerned about rewarding its union cronies than the U.S. Constitution (see ObamaCare for reference), giving union bosses access to the wallets of TSOs was only a matter of time. Now, the Transportation Security Agency’s blue shirts who are doing Janet Napolitiano’s bidding frisking, groping, molesting and seemingly sexually assaulting the American public, are about to get license for further abuse—a union | Read More »
Where Do All Those Union Dues Go?
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 16th at 11:59 PM |
There’s been a lot written lately on how much money union bosses spent on the mid-term elections. While the hundreds of millions spent may seem astounding, it really is just a drop in the bucket considering the roughly $28 billion that (public and private-sector) unions rake in every year in union dues. For union members (and other interested people) who are interested in seeing how | Read More »
Napolitano’s Police State: TSA Retaliates Against Tyner for Asserting His Rights
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 16th at 12:00 PM |
So, let’s get this straight: It’s okay for the TSA to grope nuns, but Muslim women are exempt (nothing beyond the head and neck). We cannot profile potential terrorists, but it’s okay to molest three-year olds (except we won’t call it molest because it’s the government doing it). Muslim men won’t go through body imaging machines, but it’s okay to grope non-Muslims’ genitals. And, just | 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:
The Touchy TSA: It’s not sexual assault when it’s the government…
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 14th at 10:45 PM |
As a follow up to this morning’s post on the TSA’s torpedoing of the Constitution comes this disturbing story [via Drudge] of an incident in San Diego. On Saturday, a traveler named John Tyner was planning to go pheasant hunting in South Dakota when he encountered a cadre blue-shirted of TSA gropers. Unbeknownst to the blue shirts, Tyner had his cell phone on record. Other | Read More »
Public Protests as TSA Torpedoes Constitution
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 14th at 08:00 AM |
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~ Benjamin Franklin ________________ Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s Let’s Make a Deal approach to keeping America’s airports secure isn’t generating too many fans. Perhaps it’s because the choices given are so insulting to the rights enjoyed by a free people: Door #1: Have nude pictures of | Read More »
They Did It Again! When Unions End Up Representing Replacement Workers
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 13th at 08:00 AM |
In February 1995, having the occasion to visit a picket line in Virginia where union members had been on strike for 11 months, was an enlightening experience. Having only left the union movement a few years earlier, it was that strike in Virginia where my belief that today’s unions are but a facade—union in name only—was confirmed. In that small Virginia town, union members had gone | Read More »
Armageddon Averted: Democrats & Unions Get Temporary Reprieve from Reality
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 12th at 08:30 AM |
Union bosses and their Democrat cronies are breathing a collective sigh of relief. On Wednesday, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) gave them something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and they must be positively giddy. As opposed to reality biting on December 15th, as was originally scheduled, FASB just threw a temporary lifeline to companies with union multi-employer pension fund liabilities. Last month, we told | Read More »
Criminalizing Conversation: Unions using the Department of Labor to chill employer speech
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 10th at 07:00 AM |
This may be a bit wonky, but if you are a union-free, private-sector employer with two or more employees, there’s something sinister coming down the pike from Washington that you’ll probably want to know about. Any day now, the union-controlled Department of Labor will be issuing new rules interpreting a little-known 1959 law called the Landrum-Griffin Act (officially, the Labor-Management Reporting & Disclosure Act). A | Read More »
Phase Two: Reclaiming America Precinct by Precinct
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 8th at 06:00 AM |
You may remember about a year ago, when a Boy Scout’s volunteerism caused the SEIU to threaten to file a grievance against the city of Allentown, Pennsylvania. It created quite a stir and eventually the SEIU backed down. Nearly a year later, however, the Allentown City Council is back in the news—this time taking up the matter of possibly passing a so-called Project Labor Agreement (or PLA, | Read More »
Killing the Private-Sector: What Democrats in Congress couldn’t do for union bosses, the NLRB will
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 5th at 08:00 AM |
As unemployment continues to rise as a result of the Obama administration’s anti-business climate, the union-controlled National Labor Relations Board is about do what a Democrat-controlled Congress could not do—give unions the ability to kill unionize more companies. We’ve known this was coming for a while now, but after union bosses blew a few hundred million of their members’ money trying to save what Democrats | Read More »

So, about that union job security…
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | November 4th at 05:00 PM |
Talk about a rocky relationship ending badly… First, the union boss scolded his members for sharing information with their co-workers about what was going on behind closed doors at the bargaining table. Then, a couple of weeks ago, some individual(s) beat up the union boss. Now, things are going to get a lot more tense in East Alton, Illinois. On Wednesday, after workers represented by the | Read More »
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 »
