Political operatives in the Department of Labor are using federal reporting requirements to undermine trade unions and conduct a "political misinformation campaign" against them, a report released yesterday charges.

While the Bush administration has generally relaxed federal regulations, the department's Office of Labor-Management Standards has done the reverse, beefing up disclosure rules, staff and investigations of union leaders and members, the study by the left-leaning Center for American Progress said.

I see that the "Center for American Progress" reported this. It HAS to be true.

The George Soros funded front group has absolutly no bias or agenda whatsoever.(end sarcasm)

If unions are to survive, they need to start organizing white collar workers. There are not enough manufacturing jobs to make them a force any longer.


Got Rope?

Wow. Republicans busting unions!

So what else is new.

This is another reason they will do nothing
substantive about illegal immigration.

And they always act as if unions are running
the country.

The lowest membership ever.
Just another right-wing fetish
that dates from the '30's
like the term "socialized" medicine.

As if anytime soon, all the hospitals will
be bought by the government and all doctors
will be government employess.

It is BS and will never happen.

Commies are under the bed!!!

One of the earliest disinformation campaigns was against the labor unions. I know, I know they had their problems, but there are no 450 million dollar retirements bonuses that I know of in unions.
Now our only defense against the Builderburger group is to join and promote unions here first and then all around the world. Strong unions are the only way for average people to share in the prosperity and to have a say in the use of the resources of this world. The Buildburgers think that is their right alone, and as long as they plan in secret and have no opposition they alone decide the fate of the world. And the only opposition we have left is organized labor.
