\nYesterday’s Politico<\/i> featured an article on Big Labor’s agenda for 2009 (which the SEIU union just announced that alone it plans to spend $85 million<\/a> to push for). As we already know, priority one is imposing the card check organizing mandate that leads to intimidation and harassment of workers who may not wish to affiliate with a union.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe whole article<\/a> is worth reading, however one particular quote is instructive about the state of Big Labor and union organizing today:\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor American labor, 2009 will be a big year,\u201d McEntee said. \u201cWe have a new administration. We have governors all across the country who are looking toward being able to organize more workers in red states that have become blue.\u201d\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nNotice that McEntee, who is the top official at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union, says that it will be politicians who unionize workers.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis is the dirty little secret: It’s increasingly uncommon for employees <\/i>to seek unionization on their own.\u00a0 Instead, most "organizing" takes place because union officials target workers for unionization from the outside top down-style, often with Big Labor supported politicians playing a central role.\n<\/p>\n

\nTwo of the many examples of this are the Maine State workers being represented by Foundation attorneys in the Locke<\/i><\/a> U.S. Supreme Court case and the home and health care workers in Illinois who were forced into union ranks<\/a> by disgraced Illinois Governor Rob Blagojevich. In both those cases, the union was designated by Big Labor-friendly governors — rather than selected by the workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
