People are gonna lose their jobs over this…
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 30th at 04:15 PM |
The postman delivering the mail this afternoon is long gone. Good thing. At least he didn’t hear the expletives that were thrown out to anyone within earshot as the envelope from Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield was opened and the 2011 rate increase was read. It appears that, rather than making health care affordable as was promised, ObamaCare is taking our health insurance costs even | Read More »
Why Are Casino Bosses Teaming With Union Bosses in Funding an Anti-Tea Party Group?
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 29th at 05:00 AM |
Casinos have contributed hundreds of thousands to Senator Harry Reid over the years. Regardless of your political views, it is understandable. Unfortunately, that’s how the game is played. In addition, given Reid’s long ties to the casino industry in Nevada (Reid was Nevada gaming commissioner from 1977 to1981), he has undoubtedly built a few relationships and loyalties up and down the Vegas strip.

Who’s Guarding the Cookie Jar? On November 3rd, will it be back to business-as-usual for union bosses?
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 28th at 01:30 AM |
With the miderm election wrapping up next week, win or lose, union bosses will be heading back to their offices and settling in to their normal routine of plotting, lobbying, visiting the White House, targeting employees and antagonizing employers, as well as finding ways to nationalize a few more industries and kill some more jobs. In other words, it will be back to business as | Read More »
Nevada Secretary of State: ‘I’m not going to stand for any fraud…’
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 27th at 09:30 PM |
Amid reports in the Washington Examiner on Tuesday that some voting machines in Clark County had Senator Harry Reid’s name already checked and, further, that Clark County’s voting machine technicians are represented by the SEIU, the Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller says everything is A-OK. Secretary of State Ross Miller said today there have been no complaints filed with his office about suspicious voter activity | Read More »
If 2+2=4, when does S+E+I+U=RICO?
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 27th at 07:00 AM |
Isn’t it amazing that, whenever there is some sort of controversy involving voter registration fraud, or other election shenanigans, somewhere lurking in the shadows is the Purple Hand of the SEIU? Of course, it could be merely a coincidence…if one believes in coincidences. Or, it could be something bigger, and much more nefarious. Over the past several weeks, we’ve been cataloging some of the “coincidences” | Read More »
Florida’s Character Assassins: The AFL-CIO, those ‘outlaw’ bikers and Allen West
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 27th at 12:01 AM |
Union lackey and former lobbyist Ron Klein [D] and the rest of his left-wing sycophants hate Allen West, the Republican candidate running for Congress in Florida’s 22nd District. He is everything they fear in a candidate from the Right and represents everything they are opposed to. Allen West is a pro-military, pro-freedom, and he’s a man of principle. He does not believe union bosses should be cutting | Read More »
The $3 Trillion Shakedown: The Democrat-Government Union Ponzi Scheme
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 26th at 07:30 AM |
They have declared war on you, the American taxpayer. They have found the legal means to reach into your pocket to feather their nests, while costing you and your children and your children’s children trillions. They’ve been doing it for 50 years. Yesterday, we posted the simplicity of how to begin dismantling the stranglehold government unions have on America. Step One: Understand the threat…
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 »
Democrat Bob Etheridge Still Can’t Answer Simple Questions
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 25th at 02:00 PM |
Democrat Bob Etheridge [NC-2] seems to have a problem with questions. He just cannot find it in himself to answer them. When students asked him last year if he supported the Obama Agenda, Bob Etheridge assaulted them. During a recent debate, Republican Renee Ellmers challenged the Obama Agenda-loving Etheridge* and asked how he believed the federal government could handle one-sixth of the economy better than | 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 »

Torn Between Two Lovers: Democrat Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (SD)
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 24th at 07:00 AM |
You know, one of the (many) problems with Washington is that all-too-often politicians are too easily bought by special interests and end up selling out their constituents (and America). Historically, it’s been a bi-partisan disease that goes something like this: 1. Person decides to go into politics. 2. Person gets elected and goes to Washington. 3. Newly-minted politician meets lobbyists who wine and dine said | Read More »
AFL-CIO: People who believe in 10th Amendment have “cultish beliefs”
By: LaborUnionReport (Diary) | October 22nd at 01:00 PM |
When the term astro-turf didn’t stick, and tea bagger was thrown into the harbor of bad ideas, union bosses went into overdrive trying to think of new and creative ways to demean Americans who don’t agree with their socio-fascist ideals. Earlier this week, the CWA’s Larry Cohen decided that the Tea Party Movement advocates slavery. Now, the AFL-CIO is charging that Americans who believe in the | Read More »

The Citizens Against Government Waste has this new ad out. If it’s not playing in your media market, send it to your friends and undecideds. It really needs no explanation. The stakes couldn’t be higher. GOTV.
