\nRecently Politico<\/i> reported<\/a> on a new Big Labor tactic to help pass the latest union boss power grab, the woefully misnamed Employee Free Choice Act (more accurately called the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill).\u00a0 Politico<\/i> acquired a revealing letter<\/a> and accompanying survey sent by Teamsters Local 507 in Cleveland to Wall Street fund managers:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t"Has your company made any public statements in support or opposition to EFCA?" asks one of nine pointed questions in a polite, detailed four-page questionnaire.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t"If ‘Yes,’ please explain."\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nThe cover letter, signed by the local’s Secretary-Treasurer and President, makes the union’s purpose even more clear:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tAs a trustee, I have an obligation to determine whether our fund’s asset managers are engaged in partisan political activity that could adversely affect our fund, its participants, and beneficiaries.\u00a0 I therefore request that you complete the enclosed Asset Manger<\/i> [sic] Survey<\/i> to disclose your firm’s political spending and activity with regard to this important issue and return it to me with in the next couple of weeks.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nApparently they don’t actually know what being a trustee of a pension fund entails.\u00a0 They have a fiduciary duty to ensure the financial health of the union members’ pension fund.\u00a0 But here, these union bosses are putting politics, lobbying, and their desire to crush more workers under the thumb of forced unionism ahead of their fiduciary duty.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Teamsters Local 507 union bosses — likely as part of a wider strategy of the Change to Win union cartel — want to know whether a company managing their pension funds has in any way opposed the job-killing, freedom-crushing Card Check Forced Unionism bill, by taking a public position, supporting certain politicians, or having any kind of relationship with various organizations, including the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, which they list by name.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe National Right to Work Foundation is a charitable, nonprofit organization which provides free legal aid to the victims of compulsory unionism, including victims of card check intimidation<\/a>.\u00a0 Foundation attorneys are bracing for the cries for help from countless workers\u00a0who will face ugly intimidation and violence if\u00a0the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill becomes law, thereby making the less-abusive secret ballot election for\u00a0union certification a dead letter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
