National Right To Work

Under Shawn Fain, the UAW has bankrolled some of the most anti-American, anti-capitalist candidates in U.S. history, from Zohran Mamdani to other members of the so-called "Democratic Socialists of America" -- comrades who could make even AOC and Bernie blush.

It makes you long for the good old days when former UAW bosses spent their time embezzling union dues for "gambling, co***ne, and fancy cars."

It's hard to imagine why JD Vance, Josh Hawley, and a handful of other Republicans have been so eager to cozy up to Fain when he and his goons openly call them "fascists" and a "menace to the working class."

Exclusive: New Report Shows The Extent Of UAW's Leftist Agenda A new report showed that the UAW union has given nearly $100 million in political spending to Democrats and Democratic Socialists since 2016.

Every Democrat gubernatorial candidate running in Wisconsin wants to repeal Act 10. Why? Because public-sector monopoly bargaining isn't about helping taxpayers or improving government services, it’s about enriching union bosses who in turn expand their political power all on taxpayers' dime.

Taxpayers foot the bill for bloated contracts, while union officials collect dues and funnel money back into electing the politicians who keep the gravy train running.

Act 10 successfully broke that cycle. Democrats want to put it back together.

Every WI Democrat Running for Governor Would Repeal Act 10, and Here's What That Means for Taxpayers WI Democrats seek to repeal Act 10, risking higher taxes and costs for Wisconsin taxpayers in 2026.

Reminder: While Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy works to prevent unqualified foreign drivers from obtaining licenses to drive commercial trucks and buses, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) is opposed to requiring proof of legal status for commercial driver's licenses, published a toolkit on bypassing restrictions, and sued over federal provisions that would mandate proof of legal status for CDL holders.

Randi “Gaslight” Weingarten wants you to believe your children’s falling test scores are the fault of "screens."

Yep, that’s right. AFT boss Weingarten wants you to forget who was the loudest voice pushing to keep schools closed and millions of kids stuck in front of those very “screens” for over two years.

The teachers' unions.

Now that learning loss, declining test scores, and a student mental health crisis are impossible to ignore, Weingarten is looking for a scapegoat. But parents haven't forgotten who fought to keep classrooms closed while their children fell behind.

Randi Weingarten doesn't get to blame the symptoms for the damage caused by the policy she championed.

Weingarten Blames Screens, Not Herself, For Falling Test Scores American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten is sounding the alarm about the decade-long decline in student test scores, pointing to screens and devices as a culprit. Shes calling it a "...

A handful of self-styled Republican “populists” are crawling into bed with union kingpins like Teamster boss Sean O’Brien, apparently convinced that parroting Big Labor talking points makes them champions of the “working man.”

Now seven House Republicans have joined Democrats to push Josh Hawley’s deceptively named “Faster Labor Contracts Act.”

Translation? More power for union bosses, more coercion for workers, and more muscle for the same Big Labor machine funding the radical Left.

Even the Wall Street Journal blasted these “pro-union Republicans” as “rubber stamps for labor bosses who are allies of the Democratic Party.”

The fact is, the majority of working men and women want freedom from union boss coercion -- not politicians selling them out to the same Big Labor bosses trying to control their workplace and their paychecks.

Josh Hawley’s misnamed “Faster Labor Contracts Act” isn’t about empowering workers -- it’s about stripping them of a voice in their own workplace.

Under Hawley’s scheme, government-appointed arbitrators could impose “wages, benefits, scheduling, work rules, disciplinary systems, staffing, and other terms and conditions of employment” on employees who never agreed to them and can’t vote them down.

That’s not empowering workers. That’s union boss coercion backed by federal bureaucrats who don’t know the workers, don’t answer to the workers, and certainly don’t speak for the workers.

And yet a handful of Republican lawmakers are lining up to appease Big Labor bosses like Sean O’Brien, selling out the very workers they claim to represent. Real worker freedom means employees control their own workplace choices -- not union bosses and politicians cutting backroom deals to expand Big Labor’s power.

Only in California could union bosses use environmental laws to protect pajama pants and Jeffrey Toobin-style Zoom calls.

Unionized state employees are now claiming Gavin Newsom’s return-to-office policy violates the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it “had not undergone the necessary environmental review.”

You can’t make this stuff up . . . the same environmental movement that can stop housing projects, ban plastic straws and incandescent light bulbs, and probably keep little Johnny from having a lemonade stand is now being weaponized by the union representing state-employed legal workers to preserve COVID-era telework rules forever.

California has officially become South Park.

California public sector union threatens environmental lawsuit over Gavin Newsom's return-to-office policy Workers say agencies need to study the additional emissions caused by requiring employees to come into the office four days a week.

Looks like pigs can fly after all. Former chief legal counsel to Michigan Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer just penned a critique of public-sector unionism in the left-leaning pages of The Atlantic.

It’s almost as if liberals are rediscovering the truth expressed by Franklin D. Roosevelt back in 1937: “All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service.”

That’s good news, even if it took the recent costly LIRR strike to wake some of them up to the reality that union representation in the public sector lacks the economic and market guardrails that govern labor unions in the private sector (can you say “bloated pensions and unfunded liabilities”?).

Another key point missing from the piece is the political reality underlying all government monopoly bargaining schemes: the union representatives negotiating with government officials are often the very same union bosses those officials rely on to help secure their reelection campaigns.

The Blue-State Delusion Over Unions They don’t always work in the public interest.

“Passing the trash.” That’s the term for quietly shuffling accused teachers into new classrooms instead of firing them.

According to the New York Post, union contracts pushed by UTLA make it incredibly difficult to remove sexual predators while parents are kept in the dark.

Shockingly, the American Federation of Teachers -- which includes UTLA as an affiliate -- has opposed mandatory reporting requirements for child sexual abuse allegations involving teachers. AFT boss Randi Weingarten even claimed mandatory reporting can “accidentally catalyze harm.”

Translation: the system protects predators first and kids last.

Basically, that's par for the course. As former AFT president Al Shanker once said: “When schoolchildren start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interests of schoolchildren.”

Chicago Teachers Union bosses already force teachers to fork over roughly $1,200 a year in dues. Now they want ANOTHER $800 per teacher . . . not to improve classrooms, but to bankroll even more far-left political activism.

Teachers are finally revolting against being treated like an ATM for union bosses’ radical agenda. Turns out a lot of educators would rather spend that additional $800 on their own families than subsidize more “progressive” political crusades.

This is what government unionism really looks like: less about education, more about power, politics, and control.

And thanks to the Supreme Court’s Janus v. AFSCME decision protecting public employees from forced union dues, Chicago teachers also have the option during August to resign from the CTU entirely and pay $0 in union dues.
