New York Governor Enriches Union-Boss Cronies
In 2014, with Right to Work attorneys’ help, Pam Harris and other home caregivers terminated schemes mandating union dues payment as a condition of receiving Medicaid reimbursements.
SEIU, UFCW and other unions that spent hundreds of millions of dollars of forced union dues supporting ObamaCare have filed requests to be exempt and have been granted exemptions from onerous ObamaCare regulations. ObamaCare continues to create hypocrites out of Big Labor and the Obama Administration. Below is a partial list of waivers granted by the Obama Administrations (for the current list from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services click here):

Candidate Trump wisely refused to give in to Mr. O’Brien’s anti-Right to Work cajoling, and by the Teamster hierarchy’s own account this is the reason he never received the union’s endorsement, despite internal polling that showed Teamster members lopsidedly preferred him in the general election.
Under the Election Protection Rule issued by NLRB members appointed during the previous Trump Administration, mere allegations of employer misconduct could not block employees from having the decertification vote they requested.
