In this week's [1] "Top 10 List" from Human Events, the staff of Human Events listed the "Top 10 Things On Big Labor's Agenda." The list is telling, as it describes [2] Big Labor's outrageous plans to to grab more coercive power and erode employees' rights in the workplace. Of course, the so-called "Employee Free Choice Act", more accurately called the "Card Check" Forced Unionism Bill tops the list:
1. Employee Free Choice Act
In addition to the notorious “card-check” provision that strips union members of their right to a secret ballot, this bill also provides for increased penalties for employers who commit allegedly unfair labor practices...
Besides card check forced unionism, Big Labor is even toying with a relaunch of efforts to "Repeal...Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act [which] would take from states the right to enact Right to Work laws." Big Labor has wanted for decades [3] to repeal this critical provision, and the most serious attempt to do so was in 1960s.
Not only is Big Labor trying to ultimately overturn laws in Right to Work states [4], but they "also seek the forced unionization of police, firefighters, and EMTs by federal fiat -- overturning the laws of more than two dozen states."
Other notable aspects of Human Events' "Top 10 List [5]" includes Big Labor's nefarious plans of using the Federal government to force more employees into full dues paying compulsory unionism (see: #6 [6], 7 [7]), concealing corruption (see: #8 [8]), and making it harder for employees to exercise their rights against the abuses of compulsory unionism (see: #9 [9], 10 [10]).
