Detroit Is So Bankrupt It Can’t Even Borrow More Money: Unions About To Be Shredded
14 May 2013 7:52 am John Hawkins

Want to see what unions do over the long-term? Well then, look at Detroit. It used to be a prosperous, blue collar city. But since unreasonable union demands have crippled the Big 3 Automakers, a lot of jobs fled the city. After the jobs left, the people followed. Now, large sections of Detroit are uninhabited and falling apart. Furthermore, the plunging tax revenue combined with the rampant overspending of the liberal politicians the unions supported has put the city in a hole bigger than it could ever climb out of …

Another Example of How Our Miseducation System is Failing Our Kids
28 Apr 2013 6:01 pm Warner Todd Huston

Remember how you were taught in school how to add a series of numbers? Remember how you were told to write each set of numbers on top of each other, to stack them so you could then add them together to get a total?
Kids aren’t taught that any more. In fact, the system of “cubes, sheets, sticks and dots” they are taught now is so convoluted, involved and confusing that it often results in wrong answers. But correct answers isn’t the goal for today’s fetid school systems. “The process” is …

Unions Drove Twinkies Out of Business, But Now the Company is Back With No Union Workers
28 Apr 2013 9:22 am John Hawkins

After union greed drove Twinkies out of business last November, there was such a burst of nostalgia for the snack cakes that it practically guaranteed that it would return to business. After all in a capitalistic society, if there are enough people who want to eat Twinkies, there will be someone who makes Twinkies.

So, the good news is that Twinkies are coming back, but they won’t be coming back with union workers.
The company that bought them, Apollo Global Management, LLC, and Metropoulos & Co., which also owns Pabst …

On Easter, Google Doodle Celebrates Union Leader Cesar Chavez
31 Mar 2013 1:14 pm Warner Todd Huston

This year, March 31 is Easter Day, the day that American Christians celebrate Jesus Christ having risen from the tomb to join his Father in Heaven. But instead of hosting a doodle celebrating that sacred holiday, this March 31, Google is celebrating the birth of famed union activist Cesar Chavez.

Cesar Chavez was born on March 31, 1927 and is most well known for organizing south western farm workers into unions in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. In 1962, Chavez co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) with fellow activist Dolores …

What Fiscal Cliff? VP Biden, Gov’t Workers Getting Raises
30 Dec 2012 4:53 pm Warner Todd Huston

Imagine you are working for a company that is going bankrupt, but everyone you work with and your bosses are getting pay raises. Seem absurd? Not if you work for the failing federal government because President Obama has happily decreed that Vice President Biden, members of Congress and most federal workers are getting raises for 2013.
As the U.S. government is losing its luster on the bond market and as the fiscal cliff looms, President Obama issued an executive order to give everyone raises.
Obama has generously bestowed a $6,379 per year …

Media Ignores Union Violence: Flashback to Palin’s 2008 ‘Target’ Outrage
14 Dec 2012 2:34 pm Warner Todd Huston

As unions again run amuck, this time in Michigan, the Old Media establishment has steadfastly refused to report on the union’s violence, not to mention the “violent rhetoric” coming from their advocates. But this is in stark contrast to the Summer of 2011 when the Old Media was hot to condemn the supposed “violent rhetoric” of Republicans such as Sarah Palin, Andrew Breitbart, and talk radio hosts.
In Michigan this week unions have once again shown why the term “union thug” is no misnomer by beating up people and engaging in …

Right To Work Laws Empower Employees
14 Dec 2012 7:31 am William Teach

In Liberal World, having the choice to abort a baby is a good thing. Having the choice to pay union dues? That’s tantamount to heresy and the End Of Life As We Know It. James Sherk explains that liberals should take a deep breath
(US News And World Report) Right-to-work laws benefit both nonunion and union workers as well as the unemployed. Without right-to-work, unions negotiate contracts requiring employers to fire workers who don’t pay union dues. Employees must pay the union $500 to $1,000 a year or lose their job.
Workers …

MSNBC: An Unprofessional Excuse for the News
13 Dec 2012 7:42 pm Warner Todd Huston

The violence that unions perpetrated in Michigan as the state legislature passed its new right-to-work legislation was hailed by lawless Democrats and union supporters alike showing that neither unions nor Democrats are much interested in morality of legality, but the incident also revealed yet another perfect example of how illegitimate MSNBC is as a source for reliable news.
During the union thugs’ protest outside the state capitol in Lansing, union criminals beat up a pro-worker’s rights advocate and destroyed a tent set up by the conservative activist group Americans for Prosperity. …

Violent, Racist Union Thugs Destroy Hot Dog Cart
13 Dec 2012 9:43 am William Teach

This is apparently OK with the Legacy Media, since the violent, racist union thugs funnel money to and vote Democrat
(The Blaze) A man running a local hot dog stand in Michigan’s state capital was among those attacked by protesters of the state’s “Right to Work” legislation while he served food in a tent that was torn down yesterday. The man was also allegedly taunted when he tried to salvage some of his property.
During Tuesday’s protests — the day Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law what he said is “pro-worker” legislation …

Team Obama Refuses To Condemn Union Violence Threats In Michigan
12 Dec 2012 9:23 am William Teach

So glad that Team Obama cares about a civil society after he whipped up the crowd during an appearance in Michigan on Monday
(Daily Caller) White House spokesman Jay Carney declined to condemn the increasing violence and threats by union members in Michigan, merely telling reporters Tuesday that “the president believes in debate that’s civil.”
When asked by a reporter about a claim by Michigan state Democrat that “there will be blood” should Republicans pass a union-choice law in Michigan, Carney professed ignorance and then downplayed the comment.
“I haven’t see those comments, …

Free Michigan
11 Dec 2012 4:35 pm Michael Fell

Michigan is now the 24th right to work state in America.
Public workers in Michigan are now free to work without being forced to pay legalized extortion to unions as a precondition of their employment.
As union labor gathered by the thousands, Michigan’s legislature voted approval Tuesday to “right-to-work” legislation. The House and the Senate both approved the measure, making membership and payment of union dues optional. Governor Rick Snyder has promised to sign it into law.
More than 12,000 protestors from around the Midwest gathered for the vote. Union thugs dissatisfied with …

Overly Hysterical Obama Jumps Into Michigan Right To Work Fight
11 Dec 2012 8:48 am William Teach

And, as usual, the Campaigner in Chief was equal parts class warrior, divisive, and full of mule fritters
(The Hill) President Obama on Monday injected himself into an escalating fight over changing Michigan into a right-to-work state, saying the state Legislature’s move to ban the required paying of union dues was all about politics.
The quick entry into the fight by Obama suggests the White House could be more aggressively involved in the Michigan fight than in a similar battle in Wisconsin in 2011.
It also signaled an alliance between Obama and labor …

The Lies The SEIU Tells Its Members
2 Dec 2012 5:27 pm Warner Todd Huston

This week the SEIU sent out an email to its members hoping to drum up some hate against the fast food chain Wendy’s. The email not only had one outright lie, it was also a sad example of how stupid unions think their members really are.
The email starts out as if it is from a Wendy’s employee named Joshua Williams.
Mr. Williams may or may not really exist, but the union created a video featuring a person claiming to be this Williams fellow, so maybe he’s real and maybe he isn’t. …

Obama’s Re-Election Mandate: Guess Whose Money He’s Targeting Next?
1 Dec 2012 1:55 pm Rachel Alexander

Many Americans didn’t bother to vote in the past presidential election, some out of apathy or a belief that the election would hardly affect them. They are in for a rude awakening now that Obama has won re-election. His Santa Claus false promises are unsustainable, so there are going to be few winners and a lot of losers as he redistributes wealth. Obama ran on a platform of making the rich “pay their fair share of taxes,” but raising taxes on the wealthy will only fund the federal government for eight days …

Black Friday Wal Mart Protests Pretty Much A Big Fail Burger
24 Nov 2012 8:01 am William Teach

#walmartstrikers remind me of Mohammed video protesters. Without the heavy weapons and RPGs, of course
— WilliamTeach (@WilliamTeach) November 23, 2012

Someone asked me to explain that Tweet yesterday. Well, much like the Mohammed video “protesters” the WalMart protesters were not who you thought they were, it was not spontaneous, and they had all sorts of premade apparel and signs. In the case of the Mohammed vid protesters, they weren’t average people, they were Islamists, many with ties to the Taliban and al Qaeda, this was planned for a while, and they …

SEIU Considering Thanksgiving Eve Walkout At LAX
17 Nov 2012 7:37 am William Teach

Will they? Won’t they? Is this another threat by a union to get what they want?
(CBS LA) Employees at Los Angeles International Airport were considering plans Friday to walk off the job ahead on what is traditionally the busiest traveling day of the year.
But, hey, they really, really care or something.
A coalition of Southland labor and community leaders are calling for the protest of alleged violations by LAX contractor Aviation Safeguards (AVSG) after breaking their contract with the airport earlier this year.
Andrew Gross-Gaitan, the director of the Southern California Airports …

In Harsh Economy, Union Demands Put Crimp in Businesses Across the Country: Recent Stories Surrounding California Grocer
16 Nov 2012 3:26 pm Warner Todd Huston

The biggest union news this month is the pending closing of the Hostess Brand snack cake corporation, a company that has been an American mainstay for decades with such products Wonder Bread and Hostess Twinkies. As with the Hostess case, unions repeatedly prove that they’d rather destroy a business with absurd demands and strikes than work with management to keep the company alive in these tough economic times.
Another Illustration of the continued and alarming trend of unions destroying the businesses they work for with absurd contract demands is going …

Horror: Hostess Files For Bankruptcy, Shutters Business
16 Nov 2012 8:59 am William Teach

Nanny Bloomberg is probably a happy nanny today as Hostess brings Halloween to mid-November
(WRAL) Hostess Brands Inc. filed for bankruptcy early Friday, announcing it has shuttered operations and ended production of the snack cakes and breads known to generations of Americans.
The Texas-based company said in a statement on its website that it will try to sell its assets, including the iconic Twinkies, Ding Dong and Wonder bread brands. Bakery operations have been suspended at all 36 plants, including one in Rocky Mount, following a weeklong strike by thousands of workers …

Non-Union Electric Crew Turned Away From Sandy Recovery
2 Nov 2012 7:39 am William Teach

Wasn’t just yesterday that Obama gave a speech in which he said that “Americans are coming together” during the Sandy cleanup during a stump speech? How’s that working out? (via American Perspective)
(WAFF) The hurricane-ravaged east coast has been receiving north Alabama help, but crews from Huntsville Utilities learned they’ll be doing work in Long Island, New York instead of in New Jersey.
Crews from Huntsville, as well as Decatur Utilities and Joe Wheeler out of Trinity headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they …

Even Liberal Pollsters Discover Significant Plurality of Americans See Pro-Obama Bias in Polling
3 Oct 2012 4:32 pm Matt Vespa

There’s that clichéd saying of “where’s there smoke, there’s fire.” Some in the media should have heeded that advice since a plurality of Americans sees a bias in the polling conducted between President Obama and Governor Romney. Oh, and, by the way, this information comes from a Daily Kos/SEIU poll, so it’s hardly a right-wing source. Justin Sink of The Hill wrote on October 2 that:
some 42 percent of voters surveyed by Daily Kos and SEIU believe pollsters are manipulating their sample sizes to benefit the incumbent president, while 40 percent do not. An …
