Former SEIU boss Andy Stern has a long piece in The Wall Street Journal today titled “China’s Superior Economic Model.” He believes the free market should be scrapped for a planned economy. He’s digging their latest five year plan. As this was happening, I was part of a U.S.-China dialogue—a trip organized by the...
Earlier today the lone Republican on the National Labor Relations Board let us all down by not tendering his resignation and allowing the board to move forward with plans to approve union ambush elections. The Hill explained how it went down. “The amended proposal still looks like a solution in search of a problem,...
Union leaders and their supporters can always be counted on to tell us how without the unions there would be no middle class. If that were true, you would think they would use the dues members pay for training new workers, so we wouldn’t have so many unfilled skilled trades positions. Perhaps they did...
I know a woman who runs a day care operation from her home. She only watches about a handful of kids and doesn’t earn a fortune. But she enjoys what she does and is able to supplement her husband’s income; and she was able to be home with her own children when they were young. I...
Last week the National Labor Relations Board indicated they would issue a ruling on fast-tracking union elections on November 30, without any input from Brian Hayes, the only Republican on the board. At this time there are only two other members, and due to a recent Supreme Court ruling, they are unable to issue...
Labor Union Report has the latest on the actions of the National Labor Relations Board – a big Friday news dump they’re hoping nobody but the unions will notice. They plan to rush to release “ambush election” rules by the end of the month, and they’re not allowing the lone Republican on the Board...
The Obama administration may not be transparent, but the unions couldn’t be more transparent in their attempt to co-opt the Occupy movement to shill for Obama’s jobs bill. What a joke. Everyone knows he knew it would never pass – it’s a campaign tool to use as a bludgeon against Republicans in Congress. Now...
The rapes, murders and general nastiness of the Occupy mob doesn’t seem to bother labor leaders in the least. Apparently, they don’t give a hoot about the businesses that are losing money every day their neighborhoods are occupied. They plan to team up with the violent movement for a “Day of Action” to call...
Earlier in the week emails related to the NLRB’s action against Boeing’s South Carolina plant were released to Judicial Watch. It was revealed that the NLRB’s general counsel at the time joked about wrecking the US economy. Today, Investor’s Business Daily has details on some other documents that indicate the union rejected an agreement...
Here’s an awful story out of Michigan. The SEIU has gotten the state to force families who receive Medicaid payments for disabled family members to pay dues to the union. It’s like a tax on poor families, but it raises plenty of money for the union that doesn’t do anything for these families in...
Judicial Watch received documents from the National Labor Relations Board pertaining to Boeing’s South Carolina plant after filing a Freedom of Information Act request. NLRB General Counsel Lafe Solomon sent an email to outgoing Chairwoman Wilma Liebman joking about ruining the US economy. “The article gave me a new idea. You go to geneva ...
North Carolina is a crucial swing state for the Democrats in the 2012 election. It’s so important to them, they’re holding the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. The state has been hit hard by the recession, so I’m sure local businesses were looking forward to the convention stimulating the local economy. Well, so much...
Gee whiz, you’d think that after the way the NLRB has gone after Boeing for building a plant in the right-to-work state of South Carolina that they’d have something to say about General Electric building a plant in the right-to-work state of Alabama. Oddly enough, the NLRB has been silent on the matter. Do...
