Using the forced-union dues scheme allowed by Oregon state law, Big Labor bosses, led by the public workers union, spent thousands of dollars pushing candidates in the state’s primary elections. Their political largess nominated big union puppets throughout the state.
The Oregonian described it as “a monster victory . . . that helped solidify their role as one of the state’s top power brokers. . . . The outcome left Republicans grumbling about the increasing influence of unions in state government. And it left little doubt that labor’s agenda will get red-carpet treatment when the 2009 Legislature meets in January.”
That agenda includes more forced-union dues from workers and more bargaining power for union bosses.
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.
