Biden White House Earned Big Labor’s Accolades
While Americans overwhelmingly support the Right to Work principle, Joe Biden was committed to wiping out all state Right to Work laws. As he put it, “I’m a union President. Make no bones about it.”
Dues Money at Work
As the campaign season comes to a close, Big Labor is throwing everything it has into the political process. Unfortunately, much of what it has is money collected from workers as a condition of employment.
On one day last week, the press reported that union officials from just two unions spent workers’ dues as follows:
AFSCME is up with a $50K ad buy against State Sen. Michele Bachmann (R), while the SEIU has bought $68K on radio ads on behalf of Democrat Patty Wetterling.
The SEIU just spent $67K on radio ads supporting Nevada Democrat candidate Jill Derby.
AFSCME is up with a new $40K ad buy against Republican Tom Reynolds.
The SEIU is up with $76K worth of direct mail on behalf of Democrat Tim Walz.
The SEIU spent $45K in a new radio buy on behalf of Democrat State Rep. Angie Paccione.
AFSCME is up with a new $50K ad buy against Republican Rep. Don Sherwood.
