I don’t hear Democrats calling for the end of death threats to conservatives in the Wisconsin legislature, do you? National Democrats are pouring money into the Wisconsin recall election and invoking the Koch brothers as the boogeymen, but nobody’s said “boo” about these threats of violence. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) believes it’s important to...
The Wisconsin recall election pushed by the Democrats and unions is only two weeks away. It isn’t looking good for their candidates, as Governor Scott Walker and Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch had a nice lead in the latest poll. That was before a left-leaning newspaper endorsed Scott Walker. Maybe it has something to do...
Zombie got his hands on an old pamphlet describing the tactics of the unions back in the 1950′s. It all sounds so familiar, and must really sound familiar to the people of Wisconsin. Massive crowds of Wisconsin union protesters. Collective bargaining rights being challenged by right-to-work laws. Union picketing of private homes. Paint bombs....
How many crises are on the horizon that we all know about, but nobody’s doing anything to stop? There’s the national debt crisis, the under-funding of Social Security and Medicare, the drastic cuts in the defense budget and the looming Taxmaggeddon. There’s also the coming pension crisis, or as The Wall Street Journal calls...
One of President Obama’s favorite labor unions, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is paying six months of rent for Occupy DC’s new office space. The sign on the wall informs visitors they are not to engage in activities such as sex, vandalism, physical violence and hacking while on the premises. Who raised these...
According to Politico, Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa called Mitt Romney a “vulture capitalist” and said he will be throwing his weight and union muscle behind President Obama in the 2012 campaign. He promises to put “boots on the ground” in an effort to win Obama a second term. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters endorsed...
Who can forget the union demonstrations in Wisconsin over Governor Scott Walker’s collective bargaining reforms? The unions spent enormous sums of money for this recall election. So, what are the Democrats running on? Well, it’s not collective bargaining. That’s all but forgotten, on account of the the reforms put into effect saving taxpayers millions...
President Obama spent part of the day today pandering to unions and verbally attacking Republicans. Apparently, this was an official event, but it sounded more like a fundraising appeal. No doubt he’s going to need all of the union money he can get. “Republicans in Congress would rather put fewer of you to work...
When I first heard about this I thought “Welcome to the Hotel California. … You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” Two groups of county workers in Fresno, California aren’t happy with the SEIU and they want to vote to rid themselves of the union. Well, the SEIU...
Democrats are having some fundraising issues this year, and they’re blaming it on their self imposed ban on corporate donations. Seeing that the Obama campaign website doesn’t verify credit cards, it doesn’t appear that any donations are banned, but I digress. Anyway, now they’re looking to the unions for a little pay back and...
AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka has been out there attacking CEO’s for their pay, saying things like “It’s bad for the morale of working families.” Maybe to show solidarity with the workers, he should take a cut in pay, seeing that he earns 8 times as much as the average worker. I mean, doesn’t his...
Regular readers are aware that the National Labor Relations Board has been doing the bidding of the labor unions. In addition to proposing rules allowing unions to hand over private employee contact information to unions, the NLRB has been pushing a rule that would allow unions to hold ambush elections because employers would be...
Apparently, The New York Times is in negotiations with the Writers Guild over retirement benefits for the paper’s writers. The company wants to convert their pensions into 401k plans. The writers created this video in protest. One fretted about eating cat food should his 401k run out before he does. Another is now in...
American Crossroads put out the following radio ad featuring United Mine Workers of America union boss Cecil Roberts slamming the Obama administration for their war on coal, and what it will do to the jobs and retirements of so many coal industry workers. I hope they knew before they ran the ad that Roberts...
