Obama Administration and Ties to Unions and Violence
Obama's "jobs" proposal appears to be full of more special deals and
bailouts for the union hierarchy. And as expected, Obama made no mention of
the Boeing jobs in South Carolina the Acting General Counsel of his National
Labor Relations Board is trying to destroy.
Meanwhile, Big Labor has become even more militant, as events demonstrate.
On Labor Day, Obama and Trumka shared the stage at a political rally where
Teamster union president Jimmy Hoffa urged his "army" of union militants to
"take these sons of bitches out", threatening everyday Americans concerned
about our struggling economy and growing debt.
Here is another real live example of the militancy of some union extremists
who really seem to think they're in an "army" and their enemies are job
providers, independent workers, security guards and even the police.
The Associated Press reported that hundreds of Longshoreman union militants
held security guards hostage for hours at a port in Longview, Washington.
Union thugs reportedly committed numerous acts of vandalism and violence
including breaking windows, cutting brake lines on railroad cars, and
threatening police officers with baseball bats.
Not a single arrest has been made. The local police chief told the AP union
militants warned him that the event was "only the start."
You might say they took a page straight out of the playbook of Richard
Trumka, who climbed through the union boss ranks by encouraging militancy
and even violence.
As President of the United Mineworkers (UMW) union in the 1980s and 1990s,
Trumka led three violent strikes in which militancy was actively encouraged
-- and workers who dared to continue working to provide for their families
were subjected to threats and outright violence.
In 1997, the UMW was forced to settle with the widow of a nonunion worker
who was shot in the back of his head. UMW officials even financially aided
and filed grievances on behalf of seven union militants who pleaded guilty
to crimes during the violent strike.
And after Trumka left the UMW and became the AFL-CIO's treasurer, he was
implicated in a money-laundering scheme.
A former prosecutor at the Justice Department told ABC News in 2000, "If I
were advising a candidate, I would advise him or her very strongly that
Richard Trumka is not someone you want to embrace."
Eleven years later, Trumka is flying in Air Force One and sitting next to
the First Lady as the President speaks before a joint session of Congress.
Trumka is as powerful as he is due to all the special privileges for Big
Labor tucked into federal law.
The National Right to Work Committee has an aggressive plan of action to
secure roll call votes on legislation that would eliminate some of Big
Labor's most egregious special privileges.
>> The National Right to Work Act would eliminate the provisions of federal
labor law that authorize union officials to compel workers to pay union dues
or "fees" as a condition of employment.
>> The Freedom from Union Violence Act would close the loophole that exempts
union officials from federal prosecution for acts of violence and vandalism
they orchestrate in the so-called "pursuit of legitimate union objectives."
It's time to turn up the heat on Congress and demand they reign in the
out-of-control executive branch that has further empowered Trumka and the
rest of the union hierarchy.
Obama's army will do whatever they can to protect their ill-gotten power.
You can fight back. - National Right to Work Committee
