In 2006, pro-Big Labor Republicans were stabbed in the back by the AFL-CIO, who decided it was more important to elect a Democrat Congress than a handful of pro-Big Labor Republicans. We are now seeing that same mindset in the U.S. Senate.
Roll Call reports that Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) has lost the endorsement of the AFL-CIO, who chose to back Democrat Senate candidate Mark Begich.
Alaska AFL-CIO President Vince Beltrami said the union endorsed Stevens in all of his re-election campaigns in recent memory, though Stevens had either a minimal or token challenger in many of those campaigns.
“My sense, having been a 20-year resident of the state, is that he’s not been not endorsed for decades,” Beltrami said. “So this is a significant departure.”
Beltrami lauded Begich’s support for the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill. This bill is the most significant pro-forced union legislation in decades.
Thanks to the Committee's election-year program, union-label candidates like Sen. Jon Tester (Mont.) are being given a choice: pledge to change course and support Right to Work going forward, or face the potential political consequences.
Biden judicial nominee Nicole Berner has a track record of mindlessly repeating union bosses’ anti-Right to Work diatribes and defending their schemes to profit at the expense of the disabled.
A recent poll conducted by SurveyUSA, a national pollster rated “A” by polling aggregation site FiveThirtyEight, reveals Michiganders of all backgrounds strongly oppose overturning the state’s Right to Work law.
