Gompers Prep Academy Forced Into A Union Through "Card Checks"
Gompers Preparatory School is being forced under a union monopoly once again through "card checks".
Even Secret Ballots Aren't Safe
The Card Check Bill would help Big Labor activists steal votes in favor of forced unionism — essentially legalizing what Teamsters in Illinois tried to do:
Two former union officers and an organizer for Teamsters Local 743 rigged a union election in 2004 by diverting secret ballots to family members and friends who weren’t authorized to vote, a federal prosecutor told a jury Monday as their trial began.
Richard Lopez, a secretary-treasurer at the time and a former president of the Chicago local, is charged with former Controller Thaddeus Bania and organizer David Rodriguez in a scheme to steal ballots.
Assistant U.S. Atty. Nathalina Hudson said a slate trying to keep then-President Robert Walston in place for their own job security hatched the plan at a pancake house.
Bania entered a union database and changed the addresses of some union members so ballots instead went to the homes of relatives and friends, Hudson said.
