SEIU Exposed As Evil By Its Own Documents

In an internal training manual obtained in the course of litigation discovery, SEIU tells members to make false accusations of against the targeted company of "racism, sexism, exploitation of immigrants, or proposals that would take money out of the community for the benefits of distant stockholder." The training manual exposes all sorts of sordid, unethical and borderline illegal tactics that the union trains its operatives to engage in. Read more here.

Evil? You bet.

What it the legacy media doing to report the scandal? You guessed it. Nothing.

Public University Advocates Violence and Industrial Sabotage

Unbelievable.

The Professors are Judy Ancel, Director of Labor Studies at UMKC and Don Giljum, proud member of the Communist Party and business manager for the International Union of Operating Engineers at Ameren UE in St. Louis.





A college course in advanced thuggery?

The taxpayers are funding this. A Brave New World under Progressivism, I guess. Hope and Change.

Regulatory Horror Show

In a true show of regulatory excess, the NLRB is going to hold hearings about stopping Boeing from locating a plant in south Carolina, a right to work state.

Boeing's crime?

Boeing originally considered locating in the State of Washington and discussed it with the union, which insisted as a condition that the union have representation on Boeing's board and the Boeing guarantee that all such aircraft be built at the Puget Sound location. Read about it in the Wall Street Journal.

Why would Boeing bother to stay in the United States with this sort of Obnama-esque business climate?

Isn't the slow regulatory ratchet telling us all to look elsewhere?

Mass Teacher Firing Update: Teachers Rehired

In case you were wondering about the mass teacher firings I reorted on here and here, the union gave in and the teachers have been rehired.

It just takes the guts to go forward, I guess.

More on the story plus video here.

Update on School Teacher Mass Firing

From Central Fall, Rhode Island, here is a story from Fox Boston with details on last week's reported firing:

CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. - The superintendent of Central Falls, R.I., has sent letters to 74 of the high school’s teachers telling them she has recommended they be fired.

Supt. Frances Gallo said the teachers union would not agree on a plan to fix the struggling school that included a longer school day and tutoring before and after school.

Gallo said she offered the teachers 100-percent job security for next school year if they agreed to the conditions. The union disputes that claim.

Union President Jane Sessums said no job security promise was made.

The dispute over Gallo’s plan was mostly over pay. The teachers wanted to be paid more for working extra duties.

Central Falls High School is one of the poorest performing schools in the state, with a less than 50 percent graduation rate.

Gallo sent letters on Thursday to every teacher telling them that she is recommending their termination. She sent a letter to the Board of Education recommending they be fired last week.

The teachers plan to protest in front of the school Tuesday.

I wondered how that mass firing could work. Obviously, an immediate firing, even if permitted under state law, would have left quite a void in the school year.

Giving contract non-renewal letters for the next school year gives the school district and the teacher's union time to work things out.

I assume the district will get cracking interviewing replacements. The superintendent have better warn any replacements about how peaceful the union thugs are likely to be when the replacement show up to take "their" jobs.

Union Succeeds in Getting All Members Fired at Gov't School

Wow. Another effective union fighting injustice in the form of better schools. But this time, we have a schools superintendent with Reagan-like cajones:



We can't work no stinkin' 25 minuted longer, man!

Unions: Bad for America?

From Biggovernment.com:

Big unions want to get rid of an 86 year old volunteer school crossing guard:

A woman who voluntarily watched neighborhood kids for 20 minutes each day.

An eagle scout who voluntarily cleared a walking path in a park (SEIU did this outrage).

From Hotair.com on union angst over the blocking of Craig Becker, a terrible nominee for the National Labor Relations Board:

The problem for unions isn’t that Democrats are weak allies, but that Labor’s goals have become so radical as to split the only party that will countenance them. In decades past, unions fought for reasonable access to health insurance, workplace safety, and job security, an agenda that could win broad support from both parties. Over the last twenty years, the unions have become much more interested in hard-Left policies such as universal health care, and in staking out ridiculous demands on the labor-management relationship, attempting to win through government force what it could never gain through any reasonable negotiation.

In the long run, unions kill jobs. We need jobs. Whatever their past glories and benefits, unions are past their prime. Unions are bad for America.
