Posted on January 5, 2011 at 11:54amMost of the people that watch and pay attention to this site and Fox, and talk radio, Already know, what people like this want. They want a socialist utopia. The left news and academia, will have to hope, that when this utopia is brought about, that they never cross the rulers. In most cases academia and the perss are the first groups to be “rounded up” and “re-educated”. Ask Mou. Lennon,

This guy, and many others like him heading unions all across the nation, are only interested in the progressive agenda, not the workers under them. WAKE THE HELL UP, WORKERS; this is YOUR union bosses that are selling you down the river for THE PROGRESSIVE CAUSE. When they are done with you and your UNION DUES, where will you be then???!!!! Who will stand up for you when your union head(s) votes to reduce, or even eliminate, your pension that you have paid into over the years? THINK ABOUT IT! Trumka says it in his own words, he’s not there to negotiate, he’s there to further the progressive cause!

Posted on January 5, 2011 at 7:21pmHave you ever worked in a “right to work” state that don’t support Unions? I am just asking you to understand that the other side of the issue is no picnic. In a right to work state, an employer can fire you for absolutely no reason – they can suddenly not like the shirt you have on one day and let you go with no notice and no reason and in Texas there is nothing you can do about it! Think about that happening at your job – you go to work, and they tell you they are letting you go – and you are shown the door – with no reason given. Think about it! http://wp.me/pYLB7-uK

Posted on January 5, 2011 at 1:17pm“Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool.”–Clinton presidential aide Paul Begala, July 1998
President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans.
Businesses that offered plans like many governments have would go bankrupt. Gov’t entities will, too, eventually, but it will be much more painful.
Members dues money and politicians are a volitile mix and public sector unions have even fewer reporting obligations under the newly revised LMRDA than do private sector unions … WHY?
This is yet another reason why unions should again be outlawed for public employees.
As legendary New York teachers union leader Albert Shanker said, “When school children start paying union dues, that‘s when I’ll start representing the interests of school children.”
All government unions should be banned. The idea that government workers need protection from guess who?? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, is ridiculous. remember, teachers are government employees. Ban government unions.

I have to admit I’m surprised at how they no longer hide their true intent. Even after the NY sanitation union fiasco, they are defiant in pushing for more unionization. The powers that be need to fire all union workers and tell them they can return to work the next day as regular employees, if they still want their jobs. Simple. Then people like Trumka can go and find a job in communist China.

Trumka simply (hmm, at this moment Congress has prayer in a parsley left populated House… it looks like the new minority decided to show their absence (to God)… of course, have not most of them been absent from the roll of Leading America, for decades? These are folks who won in Nov but now show neglect in January. Will they be present at the reading of the Constitution?), anyway Trumka feeds the fire. If you know any unionists, they need to be badgered about the blizzard and words like Trumka. Is it Unions before America or America before Unions? Unions no longer can pretend to have it both ways. The fight with and amongst Congress is the same struggle that must be experienced by all rank and file. Where do allegiances stand? Will America stand? Four by four, Senators take an oath today. Do they know too, these are their ‘do or die’ days? Show us America, Americans, do not be seen as a negligent no-show, before God.
