The communists and organized crime were largely driven out of the major unions, almost entirely because of cooperation between Congress, the White House, and legitimate union leaders. Today, there are no legitimate union leaders, and as I've mentioned, the head of both the SEIU and the AFL-CIO are fond of quoting Marx.

They got a few minor facts wrong, and they weren't quite sure how the manual turned up, but they got the essentials right. It will be interesting to see if the story develops legs. I've gotten so tired of the "working-class hero" crap put out by these mammoth unions. Maybe this story, if it does spread, will make enough people aware of who the real oppressors are. These big unions see the workers as fodder for their political goals. And just like the steel workers and dockworkers before them, the rank and file don't see that their "leaders" are pricing them out of the market (except for the government workers of course, since there is no price that the government sees as too high).LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-88786108792353214862011-07-18T17:42:59.543-04:002011-07-18T17:42:59.543-04:00LawHawk,

The discovery process is not going at all well for the SEIU.<br /><br />On another front, the SEIU is actively involved in NLRB hearings which are designed to cut union certification votes from 30 days (in certain cases, 45 days) to 10 days. If the union can get 30% of a company's non-union employees to sign up (preferably by card-check, but any way they can), then the company would have only 10 days to mount a campaign stating its position and the advantages of remaining non-union. Given the makeup of the current NLRB, they have a good chance of pulling this heavily pro-union scam off.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-62614867275830339892011-07-18T16:28:00.344-04:002011-07-18T16:28:00.344-04:00Lawhawk, I think there really is something to this...Lawhawk, I think there really is something to this. From what you've described, the SEIU is encouraging criminal behavior including extortion and fraud. That should qualify as the predicate acts (plus the wire fraud and mail fraud that will come with it). And their intent is criminal as evidenced by their tactics. That makes them a RICO organization.<br /><br />Businesses and others should think about this.

Even the Mafia didn't attack the families and friends of their "enemies." And when the [former] head of the SEIU proudly repeats the words of the Communist Manifesto as being applicable to American workers, we have what looks very much like a clear and present danger.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-13546952161655446362011-07-18T16:18:50.979-04:002011-07-18T16:18:50.979-04:00Tennessee: Even when I was a liberal Democrat I d...Tennessee: Even when I was a liberal Democrat I didn't much care for unions. I was happy to see them declining over the years. Back then, there was no real SEIU. Public employees had OSHA and civil service protection and "service" employees had their choice of unions, if they cared to choose any union at all.<br /><br />The SEIU is a cancer. It has combined all the thuggish tactics of the dockworkers unions in the 40s and 50s with an agenda of getting as many illegal immigrants as possible unionized and on their way to amnesty. Their strategy and tactics have more to do with forcing unwilling workers to join their union and forcing government workers to support the Democrats than protecting those who don't really need much protection in the first place. They know they can't increase their membership by persuasion, so they use violence, intimidation and stacked federal agencies to do their dirty work.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-70144366818798659592011-07-18T16:15:06.544-04:002011-07-18T16:15:06.544-04:00Wow!
