Union Bosses Want SEIU-Picketer Miami Mayor Stoddard

SEIU Bosses continue their push to keep control of Big City Mayors and Airports with their recent endorsement of Miami Mayor Phillip K. Stoddard.  SEIU has been able to call out Stoddard to join pickets (“protests”) when they needed him. Recently, Goddard showed up Miami Mayor Phillip K. Stoddardat the Miami airport when a favored SEIU employer lost its contract.

SEIU uses the ability of Big City Mayors with Airport Board appointment authority to pack board members and force SEIU demands onto airport employees and employers.

These actions provide another example how government unions are inescapably political as argued in the Friedrichs v California Teachers Assn. union case heard by the US Supreme Court earlier this year.

Monopoly-bargaining contracts, even in Right To Work states, provide labor union bosses with tremendous power over employees and their workplaces.

Support For Ending Forced-Dues Escalating

Thanks largely to aggressive grass-roots activism by members of the National Right to Work Committee, the number of congressional cosponsors of the forced-dues repeal legislation introduced in the U.S. House and Senate early this year continues to rise. S.525 and H.R.2571, respectively introduced early in the 2019-20 Congress by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), had a combined total of nearly 100 sponsors as this Newsletter went to press in early October. These essentially identical bills would not add a single word to federal labor law. Instead, they would simply repeal the current provisions in the federal code that authorize and promote the termination of employees for refusal to pay dues or fees to an unwanted union.
