The Las Vegas Sun recently published the story of Anishya Sanders, a hard-working single mother exploited by Big Labor to push for the Card Check Forced Unionism bill (aka the misnamed “Employee Free Choice Act”).

Union bosses flew her to Capitol Hill to testify in support of the union power grab and let her live the limosine lifestyle of a union boss for a precious few days. Anishya lived it up at suave hotels, private meetings with members of Congress, and celebratory wining and dining on surf-and-turf and merlot at tony DC hot spots.

Things were really turning around for Anishya. She thought she’d finally made it, and she was even promised a good job by the local union boss. However, after returning home things didn’t pan out that way. Eventually, the local union official told the mother of five “your 15 minutes are over” and hung up. She is now homeless and unemployed and concludes that if Big Labor had just left her alone, she would still have a job.

So much for the little guy (or woman, as the case may be)… Once Anishya could no longer help union officials with their latest compulsory unionism power grab, the union bosses kicked her to the curb.
