Ohio rejects the individual mandate

By SoundOffSister / November 9, 2011 /

Tuesday’s election in Ohio presented, among other things, two issues where the results could not have been more diverse, and confusing.

The NLRB strikes again

By SoundOffSister / June 25, 2011 /

Earlier this week the National Labor Relations Board proposed new rules concerning the vote by employees to join, or not join a union.  Apparently not content with simply an attempt to halt Boeing from opening a new plant in South Carolina, a right to work state, the NLRB is forging ahead in other areas.

Obama demands contractors provide all “political” donation data – Unions exempt

By Steve McGough / April 25, 2011 /

An executive order is in the works to implement parts of the Disclose Act that failed to pass Congress. Federal contractors must already provide information about donations to politicians, now they would need to provide details about donations to independent groups. Federal employee unions – of course – would be exempt from this requirement.

“The hits keep coming” Rhode Island union thug threatens sexual assault

By Steve McGough / February 24, 2011 /

Outright rage. More examples of the new tone. Did we see any of this type of outbursts at TEA Party events? Now, we certainly do not know what started this, but if there is video it will be displayed. What did Adam Cole from We the People of Rhode Island say or do to get…

Lame duck state government

By SoundOffSister / December 18, 2010 /

This past week we saw, at least for a time, what happens when the party in power is shellacked, as the President called it, by the majority of the American public. In the Senate, Harry Reid (D. Nv.) brought a 1924 page Omnibus bill to the floor with an expected price tag of $1.2 trillion. …

Waiver on the way? Union cuts health care coverage for dependents

By Steve McGough / November 29, 2010 /

At first read, this seems to be a complex case, so let’s not all jump on the “it’s Obamacare” bandwagon, even though part of the problem is the new health care legislation. A “low-wage” health attendant union – an affiliate of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) – will be dropping coverage for its member’s…

Unions slated for another free pass

By SoundOffSister / May 9, 2010 /

Does anyone remember the president’s State of the Union Address this past January…the one where he blasted the Supreme Court’s decision in the Citizens United case?  In case you’ve forgotten, you can review it here. Basically, the Supreme Court held that the government couldn’t place restraints on the rights of people to express their opinion…

Where is the money? … Give up the bucks! Where is the cash? We need it fast!

By Steve McGough / April 27, 2010 / Comments Off on Where is the money? … Give up the bucks! Where is the cash? We need it fast!

Last week, I wrote about the astroturfed protest by thousands of union employees at the Illinois capital. They were demanding a tax increase – for the children of course – that would amount to a 33 percent increase in the state income tax. This short video sums up what they want.

Crazy health care protestors march on Hartford with pitchforks and torches

By Jim Vicevich / February 19, 2010 /

Nope … not tea party folks … it’s organized labor. Hmmmmm, who are the wild eyed extremist mobs? From Connecticut News Junkie: Carrying pitchforks and torches a group of labor unions and health care groups marched down Church Street in Hartford Tuesday night to let the state’s largest business lobby know that they want health…

Pelosi strikes deal with unions – no tax on high-cost health care plans

By Steve McGough / January 14, 2010 /

You knew this would happen. The unions deserve payback for support of Democrats and President Obama, so when the plan to tax “Cadillac” health care plans would obviously included those negotiated by collective bargaining teams, something had to be done. It’s change you can believe in!
