GOP’s ‘Dangerous Liaison’ With Union Bigwigs
Josh Hawley distances himself from pro-Right to Work pledges, aligning with union bosses like the Teamsters, despite their history of corruption.
From Union Label’s Warner Todd Huston:
Four union thugs belonging to the Sheet Metal Worker’s union, Local 33 from the Toledo, Ohio area were caught with dozens of stolen Romney/Ryan signs and charged with receiving stolen property by Perrysburg police on Friday.
The police stopped a truck registered to the union and found in the back signs that ranged in size from the small, single yard signs to the full size eight foot long billboard-style signs.
Charged were: John Russell, 39, of Eleanor Street, Toledo, Ohio; Sean A. Bresler, 33, of Capistrano Drive, Toledo, Ohio; Corey J. Beaubien, 37, of Kelsey, Toledo, Ohio;Christopher Monaghan, 41, of Oak Street, Rossford, Ohio.
The website for Local 33 lists John Russell and Christopher Monaghan as “business agents” for the union. Russell is also a vice president of the Northwest Ohio and Construction Trades Council.
Both Sean Bresler and Corey Beaubien are listed on other sites as sheet metal unionistas.
As Maggie Thurber amusingly notes:
“Now, it is possible that the four men charged are not the same ones identified as union members and officers, but that would have to be a very large coincidence and would not explain how they got access to a truck registered to the Sheet Metal Union Local #33.”
Josh Hawley distances himself from pro-Right to Work pledges, aligning with union bosses like the Teamsters, despite their history of corruption.
Forced-Dues States remain stagnant at 2019 employment levels, while Right to Work states saw significant job growth post-COVID-19, highlighting the benefits of worker freedom from compulsory unionism.
If he is still majority leader in 2025, Chuck Schumer could, with help from cohorts like Tammy Baldwin, Jon Tester, and Jacky Rosen deploy the “nuclear option” against Right to Work.
