How nice for staffers from the National Education Association to have embarked on a seven day Caribbean cruise at the expense of the dues-paying workers, whose salaries are paid by the taxpayers. I’m sure they will find a way to say their fun in the sun is all “for the children.” Imagine your organization...
It was reported the other day that unions are planning a protest of the Conservative Political Action Conference that begins on Thursday. The union announced the protest was to take place Friday at lunchtime and again “after work.” I assumed that meant they would be outside the Marriott where the conference is taking place,...
Via Don Surber, what more do you need to know about the SEIU? Oh socialism, ain’t it great? More people have been murdered in the name of socialism than any other ‘ism, but yeah, let’s keep pushing for more socialism. That ought to work. I just wonder if the 2.1 million people the SEIU...
President Obama’s new unconstitutional appointees are wasting no time in helping out his union buddies. According to ABC News, Chairman Mark Pearce wants to impose another rule on employers. He wants to require them to hand over the phone numbers and email addresses to unions. “We keep our eye on the prize,” Pearce said...
Am I the only one that sees the irony in unions opposing right to work laws? I thought they were supposed to be all about the workers. If they’re so fantastic, why not let workers choose whether or not they want union representation and the costs that go along with it? Heh, just kidding....
There’s a little lovers quarrel between President Obama and some labor unions over his decision to kill the Keystone XL pipeline and the thousands of jobs that would have come with it. Terry O’Sullivan, president of the Laborers’ union issued the following statement, vowing that blue collar workers will not forget this betrayal. “The...
Are you a goon? Are you a thug? If so, SEIU has the perfect job for you – “Lead Internal Organizer/Home Care (LiA).” It even pays well – $65,000 per year according to the Washington Examiner. Basically, they’re hiring people to commit crimes. Here’s the job description: • Train and lead members in non-violent...
Big Labor helped push for Obamacare, so in return for their support, the Obama administration has been exempting their members from the unpopular law. In fact, the majority of waivers granted last year went to labor unions. Don’t you just love the way these progressives operate? Documents released in a classic Friday afternoon news dump show...
Earlier today we found out President Obama was appointing Richard Cordray to head up the CFPB even though he was rejected by the Senate and the Senate is technically still in session. Now we find out he’s making recess appointments to the NLRB that’s been doing Big Labor’s bidding. Obama is also set to...
If you thought the $16 trillion national debt was bad, you may want to take a seat. For years politicians have been making promises to public employee unions that you and I (and future generations) are expected to keep. It’s a pretty hefty tab – in total it’s about $45 trillion, or $424,500 per...
A public employee union in New York is suing the state over a measly 2% increase to health insurance contributions. Unions representing state workers in New York have filed a federal lawsuit against the Cuomo administration challenging an increase in health insurance contributions for thousands of retirees. According to the unions, the unilateral change...
Well, with the help of the National Labor Relations Board, the International Association of Machinists got their contract with Boeing that will ensure the company manufactures the 738 Max jet in Washington State. Isn’t coincidental that right after the agreement was reached, the NLRB dropped its lawsuit against Boeing? Oh wait, it’s not a...
What do labor union bosses and government bureaucrats have in common? They both go on expensive “junkets” to tropical places on someone else’s dime. This time it’s union bosses representing New York municipal workers soaking up the sun and buying $9 beers in Puerto Rico. Must be nice. According to The New York Post,...
You’d never know it by listening to the Democrats, union bosses and their supporters, but workers are faring better in right-to-work states over forced-unionism states. No wonder people are leaving the blue states in droves. Unfortunately, for those of us in New York, tax freedom day doesn’t come until April 24. That’s nearly three...
