A long-time Washington state union boss has written a book with a startling admission. “Smiling Joe” Miller admits he “broke the law all the time” by passing envelops of cash to lawmakers, converted campaign checks into hard-to trace cash, illegally shifted campaign expenses onto the books of labor unions, and did campaign work while on union payroll.
Sadly, this is not “breaking news.” Because union officials enjoy the privilege of compulsion — forcing workers to pay-up or be fired — it is no surprise that this goes on inside the Big Labor Empire. As a wise senator from Arkansas who was overseeing a United State Senate Committee investigating misdeeds in the union movement once stated, “compulsion and corruption go hand in hand.”
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.
In 2020, Johnny Doc was recorded threatening to “beat up,” “run over,” and “put under water” any rank-and-filers who cooperated with federal prosecutors. But he still publicly claims to be all about helping workers!
