Labor Unions are not dead – just reloading

EXCERPTS:

Labor unions are categorized as tax-exempt 501(c)5 organizations.  In 2010, these organizations collectively held $32,498,906,714 in assets.

 

these organized labor gangsters still have more money than the entire GDP of many countries. None of it is taxed, and 92% of them are in violation of Dept. of Labor audits.

 

Unions pay no taxes and are encouraged to monopolize. The deck has been stacked this way for 100 years.

 

This is how one of our biggest unions, the AFL-CIO, has managed to accumulate over two billion in total assets and get its hands into the pockets of 57 different sectors of the U.S. economy, including nearly every teacher in the U.S. public school system, the U.S. postal service, and the National Football League without raising a single anti-trust eyebrow.

 

In 1973, in United States v. Enmons, the Supreme Court ruled that labor unions are exempt from prosecution for violence related to collective bargaining goals.

Friedrich A. Hayek on unions:

[W]e have now reached a state where they [labor unions] have become uniquely privileged institutions to which the general rules of law do not apply. They have become the only important instance in which governments fail in their prime function–the prevention of coercion and violence.

Friedrich A. Hayek, The Constitution of Liberty
(Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1960), p. 267
