Looking for Big Labor’s Forced Unionism Future in the Occupy Movement

NRTW Committee Staff — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:35:14 +0000

Things are so bad for union organizers, they see the rag tag radicals camped out in protests across the nation as their future band of activists. With the average age of union members climbing steadily, activists are combing the young demonstrators to turn them into union allies. With thousands of the Occupy activists arrested — including some for pimping their daughters, vandalism, drugs, and breaking-and-entering — it seems union organizers would find a more productive crew elsewhere.

Big Labor Hypocrisy Scrutinized by the Daily Show

NRTW Committee Staff — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:21:23 +0000

The Daily Show exposes hypocrisy in a union corporate campaign in Nevada. Big Labor uses non-union temporary workers all across the country to create a the facade of outrage by workers. In reality, these faces of labor are hired by unions to endlessly walk around targeted buildings and chant, often childish, slogans while holding signs created by union organizers.

The looks on the UFCW union boss’ face when challenged by the Daily Show reporter makes this well worth watching:

Unions Outsource Protest Work

NRTWC Staff — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:50:14 +0000

Big labor bosses hate outsourcing of jobs to the private sector, unless they are the ones doing the outsourcing. In order to get union protestors on the streets, the unions have been hiring non-union labor to “march around and sound off.”

Union Boss Questions Kick-Back Policy

NRTW Committee Staff — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:09:00 +0000

The boss of the largest union representing federal workers questioned the wisdom of President Obama’s policy to direct federal construction contracts to companies associated with big labor. John Gage, the head of the American Federation of Government Employees is concerned that the policy will “increase subjectively and politics in federal procurement.” No doubt.

Another Kick Back Scheme

NRTW Committee Staff — Wed, 05 May 2010 04:51:56 +0000

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved a policy initiated by President Barack Obama’s Executive Order 13502, encouraging federal agencies to discriminate against nonunion workers and employers by adopting so-called “project labor agreements” (PLAs) on all federal construction projects costing the taxpayers over $25 million. Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, released the following statement about the policy.

“The Obama Administration’s policy is a slap in the face to the vast majority of construction workers who have chosen not to unionize. Qualified nonunion contractors whose workers have opted against unionization will be locked out from large-scale construction projects. The true purpose of so-called project labor agreements is simple: to impose unwanted union boss control on workers from the top-down.

“Rather than encouraging a competitive and open bidding process to ensure the American taxpayers get the best deal, the White House favors using federal contracts to reward Big Labor’s political machine. The policy is nothing more than payback for the billion dollars the union bosses spent electing Barack Obama and other forced-unionism proponents in the last election cycle.”

The Committee was forwarded an e-mail that, in part, read:

We have just learned from our contacts in Washington that the HELP committee [U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions] has postponed other scheduled business and will conduct a hearing on the [Craig] Becker [National Labor Relations Board] nomination next Tuesday at 4 p.m.

Obama’s Labor Department Gives Big Labor and Its Front Groups Another Gift

Post — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:32:11 +0000

With less than a month left in 2009, President Obama gave Big Labor Bosses, ACORN, American Rights At Work, and other Big Labor-front groups another gift. This time Labor Secretary Solis’ Department will not require Big Labor to complete labor union trust disclosure documents.

Big Labor has fought the disclosure of information for thousands of “slush” funds and front groups since 2003. By 2008, courts grew weary of Big Labor’s excuses for wanting to continue to hide billions in forced union dues that it transferred to groups like ACORN and the AFL-CIO’s American Rights At Work.

Today, the Department published its intent to rescind these disclosures and to allow union bosses to ignore reporting until the Obama Administration disclosure rescission is final.

Why did Big Labor want to stop these disclosures, referred to as Form T-1 Trust disclosures? Because, these reports disclose the finances of every significant union controlled trust or Big Labor-front group. In essence, this information provides the schematic of Big Labor-forced dues funded political operations.

These reports, if filed, will lead to more disclosures of ACORN financing and reveal more about the Big Labor-Front Group American Rights at Work, a political and lobbying operation, where Obama’s Labor Secretary served as Treasurer while a member of Congress..

Today’s Obama Administration’s notice reads in part:

The Department now seeks comments on a proposal to delay the filing due date of the initial Form T–1 reports, pending the outcome of the Department’s proposal to withdraw the October 2, 2008 rule.

The comment period on this proposal will close on December 14, 2009. [Eleven Days of Comments] Time is running out, to share your comments with the Department of Labor follow this link or click here to comment.
