The Democrats at the state and federal level have become like loan sharks and money launderers. Unions collect dues and fund the election of Democrats. The Democrats borrow the people’s money in the form of promised future benefits and high wages and and the cycle begins again. The Democrats get power and money in the form of public office and benefits. Obama isn’t just an opportunist with this union push, he is a tried and true union believer. Former SEIU president Andy Stern was the most frequent visitor to the White House while leading with socialist slogans. Now we find out that AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka visits the White House 2 or 3 times a week and speaks with the White House daily.

Big Labor spends literally billions of dollars on politics
“The unions’ reports to the Labor Department capture an additional $3.3 billion that unions spent over the same period on political activity. … The top political spender … was the Service Employees International Union. … It reported spending $150 million on politics and lobbying in 2009 and 2010, up from $62 million in 2005 and 2006. … [AFSCME spent] $133 million in the 2009 and 2010 election season, nearly twice the $75 million it spent in the 2005 and 2006 cycle.” – WSJ

Labor Unions are not dead – just reloading
Scott Walker knocked them down, but they will come back up like a bobo doll, and long after he is out of office, they will continue clutching for more power. All the laws are on their side. – American Thinker

Union War on Wisconsin Governor Walker
Out-of-state Big Money will pour into Wisconsin to dump Gov. Walker and his lieutenant governor, Rebecca Kleefisch, plus four GOP state senators the unions don’t like much, either. (No pushovers, those four legislators.) Massive funds will come from dues collected in other states (in the spirit of solidarity) to be dispensed in far-off Wisconsin. Why?

Occupy Wall Street: Communism’s Clueless Foot Soldiers

The Untold Story of Scott Walker’s Longstanding History with Labor
Walker is no newbie when it comes to collective bargaining. He has eight years of experience standing up to labor unions in the most liberal county in the state; seemingly, Walker was bred for this moment in history.

Shame! Shame!” The majority voted to end debate and vote.

Wisconsin passes bill to protect the people from unions
Collective bargaining is extortion and the Wisconsin Republicans have taken the first step in freeing the people from the criminal theft by the joint efforts of Democrats and public unions. The bill now goes to the senate where the Democrats who receive the unions bribes have fled the state to obstruct the will of the people.
