Come one, come all! Get yer free boxed lunch and poncho (don't want to get wet)! We'll even reimburse wages! Doesn't that sound like fun? Oh, and don't forget the vulgar signs. Bring the kiddies along too! It'll be a blast! No, this really is THE grassroots movement - nothing like those Tea Party astroturf people. http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/02/nj_labor_unions_expected_to_ra.html There appears to be eff ...

We were lumped in a group with the housekeepers and the nurses. Union membership was mandatory for employment and dues were taken directly out of our paychecks. Our local reps said they could only negotiate for 1 group a year out of our 3 departments, but every time our turn came around the nurses weren't happy and the union would negotiate for them again. Of course this was 10 years ago, but we made from $8.10 per hour to a max of $12.39 per hour, but we did only have to pay $50 a ...

These people are dangerous. This is not your father's union, that's for sure. Since the Dems are so closely tied with the AFL-CIO and plan to spend $400 million to re-elect Obama, will anyone in the Democrat leadership condem this violent rhetoric? No, I doubt it. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/04/19/walker-springfield-protest Tuesday, over 2000 union protesters rolled into Springfield, IL, to protest Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, speaking at the Il ...

WASHINGTON -- In recent months, the management at Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System has approached workers with a set of proposals that include layoffs and cuts to pensions and health benefits. . . . But rather than roll over, the union of nurses, technicians and other hospital workers has rejected management’s proposal, instead launching a counter attack on the executives themselves. The hospital\'s top officials now face a firestorm in the local media and an aud ...

I absolutely hate remote controls. They wear out too quick! LOL I'll have to start watching. The transcript is up from her Sunday show. I found it interesting. I must warn you, though.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/11/ted-nugent-state-of-the-union_n_2663651.html Maybe most folks will agree with me that having Ted Nugent attend the State of the Union is not only disrespectful to the President (given what the Nuge has had to say about him in the past), disrespectful to any of those affected by the Newtown shootings who might attend, and disrespectful to this country by turning it into a circus side show, but for those of you who agree with Rep. Stockman and ...

I heard the news in my car today and I could not believe it. The newscaster was trying to spin this as a good thing, but I know once Walker starts giving in the democrats are not going to stop until Walker gives them everything. It seems to me Walker had the upper hand ...

http://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-assault-wisconsin-union-video-2011-2 This is just ONE reported story. Others are starting to surface. So, I suppose some of you who talk about the TEA Party as if they are villians will find some excuse for this behavior? The union rhetoric is encouraging violence against others.... and yes, this reporter was from Fox, but all he was doing was reporting the story when he got punched in the arm. ..... hypocrites! ...

Don't know how we can ever have bipartisanship when the parties can't even agree among themselves, and yes I mean BOTH parties. There is infighting on the Republican side too. I was kind of surprised to see Steny Hoyer suggesting the military should be included in that freeze, though. If the freeze ever happens...since the union has bucked up. Ain't politics grand?? ...

I was brought up in an upper Midwest rural microcosm known as "a small town". In my small town there was culture and economic class that was highly visible in a very personal way. There were the surrounding farms and ranches. These people were hardworking, average, normal people that kept the whole regional economy running. The town had the main street small businesses. The doctors and bankers at the top level, the business owners at the next level, the clerks and w ...

A public union employee, a tea party activist, and a CEO are sitting at a table with a plate of a dozen cookies in the middle of it. The CEO takes 11 of the cookies, turns to the tea partier and says, 'Watch out for that union guy. He wants a piece of your cookie. Pretty much sums it up. ...

Here is the but one plan being hatched before Walker spilled the beans to Fake Koch. Tea Party leader Mark Williams was referred to as the mastermind of this plan.

What is wrong with this picture? Class warfare? Just plain old greed. Sotheby's is in a labor dispute with the unionn that represents the art handlers working at the New York City auction house. The contract between the two parties expired on July 1st, 2011, and despite ongoing negotiations, there has been no agreement on a new contract. Local 814's stance is that because of Sotheby's record profits for 2010 (over $680 million), Local 814 should not be giving in to any of S ...

After Koch gift. After the United Negro College Fund accepted a $25 million grant from Koch Brothers, Inc and the Charles Koch Foundation, The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) sent a letter to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) yesterday ending their relationship. This includes a paid internship program. In the letter, AFSCME President Lee Saunders condemned the action as “not only deeply hostile to the rights and dignity of public employees, but ...

Firing Offense: Democrats are constantly bleating about the need to better serve the nation's veterans. Yet when it comes down to it, they would rather bow to their union masters than allow the VA to fire workers who aren't doing their jobs. The proof is the Democrats' fervent opposition to a simple reform being pushed by Republicans — the VA Accountability First Act. This bill would let the Veterans Affairs secretary fire someone and not have to wait a month for the person t ...

The union posted a “Don’t Insult My Sacrifice” waiver officers can sign requesting the two politicia ...
