Right to Work Update

Last week, the U.S. House Workforce Committee held a hearing on the Obama Labor Board's recent onslaught of Big Labor power grabs that undermine worker freedom. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Chairman and former union lawyer Mark Pearce offered his spin after the hearing, calling the Board's decisions "fair and even-handed." Cowboy's Comment:Geez, that's like putting the fox in the hen house with a pro-Union Lawyer at the NLRB.......Here's a question: "What do you call ten Union Lawyers at the bottom of a Lake?"......"...a good start is what it is."

The Socialist Union won out against Boeing. The Union complaint was that if Boeing was allowed to move a plant to South Carolina, where there is a right to work, it would a civil rights violation against the Unionized Boeing workers currently in Washington State. Cowboy's Comment:Requiring any worker to pay union dues as a condition of employment is totally Un-American and a major reason this country is in the dire straits we find ourselves in.

But at least one individual employee, victimized by one recent NLRB decision, stood up and made her voice heard.

On July 22, Barbara Ivey learned the radical Service Employees International Union (SEIU) was launching a campaign to unionize her workplace.

Thirteen days later, her employer, Kaiser Permanente, announced that it was recognizing the union as the monopoly bargaining agent of all workers in the unit.

There was no secret ballot vote. No one from the SEIU ever contacted Ms Ivey about whether or not she wanted to join or support the union.

Other workers told Ivey they felt pressured to sign so-called "union authorization cards."

But Kaiser Permanente agreed to recognize the union through the abusive card check process, and the workers faced an uphill battle to exercise their rights.

Relying on the National Right to Work Foundation-won Dana precedent, Ivey utilized the only means left at her disposal. She asked her coworkers to sign a petition demanding a secret ballot vote.

By August 8, Ivey turned in a petition supported by 45 percent of her coworkers to request a decertification election. The NLRB set a private vote for September 20.

But before that vote could occur, the Board overturned Dana, canceling the election.

Barbara Ivey and her coworkers must now wait one to four years to request a new decertification election.

Ivey told the U.S. House panel, "For me and my fellow employees however, snatching away those rights just as an election has been agreed to and a date had been set was cruel and unethical."

I'm sure you'll agree there's nothing "fair and even-handed" about her story.

Hate Crime? Nahhh

I heard today about the Iraqi immigrant who was kidnapped at gun point, in Saint Louis , then had a Star of David carved on his back, by some Muslim fanatics.

Apparently this gent was followed when he was driving, then boxed in and held at gunpoint while the Star of David was carved into his back with a knife. The fanatical Muslims who did this deed told the Iraqi immigrant that they did not like his poem posted on the internet that expressed support for Israeli right to exist.

Has anyone else heard or read about this? You would think that with the “Jewish Controlled Media” that this would be all over the news on all formats: print; internet and cable/television.

Oh, by the way the authorities are “pretty sure” this is a hate crime. There is no mistaking the fact that if this was a Christian or Jewish perpetrator, than this would not only be all over the news, but the title Hate Crime would precede all coverage.

Couldn't Be Said Any Better

Thanks to Saddle Bum for sending this my way,....

The folks who are getting the free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff

Because the folks who are paying for the free stuff,

Can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff,

And,

The folks who are paying for the free stuff,

Want the free stuff to stop.

and the the folks who are getting the free stuff,

Want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now... The people who are forcing the people who Pay for the free stuff,

Have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff,

That the people who are PAYING for the free stuff,

Are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So... the people who are GETTING the free stuff,

Have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff,

By the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff,

And giving them the free stuff in the first place.

We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are

Now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide

somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason?

The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.

The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that in 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.

The simple formula for a better America :

Obama - Gone!

Borders - Closed!

Language - English only

Culture - centered around the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!

Entitlements: Reduced by putting people to work. Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare! And NO freebies to Non-Citizens!

We the people are coming and bringing change with us in November 2012.
