Majority of Employees at Emporia Rehabilitation and Healthcare Seek to Remove SEIU Union
Emporia Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center plans decertification election to remove “Workers United Mid Atlantic Regional Joint Board” union officials
A communist news and propaganda site, World Socialist Web Site, exposed another Big Labor payback by Barack Obama and his new Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez (Before entering the Obama Administration, Perez headed a radical organization funded in large part by communist dictator Hugo Chavez). Now, Perez is using his new federal position to spread the wealth from US Taxpayers to fund bad deals in California:
Earlier this month, Governor Jerry Brown of California orchestrated an emergency agreement with the federal government that will restore $1.6 billion in public transit grants that had previously been revoked due to a dispute over Brown’s 2012 pension reform. The deal will make California transit workers temporarily exempt from Brown’s sweeping pension “reform.”
For months, the US Department of Labor (DOL) and the Brown administration had been in negotiations over the legality of the governor’s 2012 pension plan. The DOL, in tandem with transit unions in California, argued that the pension plan spearheaded by Brown was illegal for certain workers because it did not involve bargaining between the state and unions.

Big Labor bosses will eagerly advance agendas that lower real incomes and destroy jobs if they simultaneously fatten union coffers. But neither rank-and-file union members nor union-free workers share that perspective!
