\nExperts from the National Right to Work Foundation<\/a> and Right to Work Committee<\/a> took to the airwaves and opinion pages across America to remind us what Labor Day is really about \u2014\u00a0 the individual worker.\n<\/p>\n

\nMark Mix, president of National Right to Work, reminded Americans that "It’s ‘Labor’ Day, Not ‘Union’ Day"<\/a> in his nationally published op-ed which appeared in over 20 newspapers across the country.\u00a0 In his article, Mix offers a stouthearted rebuke to the usual union boss propaganda which has become commonplace on Labor Day:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tThis Labor Day, big labor bosses will dish out their usual Labor Day propaganda about how awful our lives would supposedly be without them.\u00a0 The reality is that millions of workers and indeed our economy are continuing to suffer greatly under the scourge of compulsory unionism.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\n\t…\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\n\tLabor Day should be about honoring the hardworking Americans who make our country\u2019s economy prosper \u2014 not union bosses who rely on forced unionism privileges for personal and political gain.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nMark Mix also took to the airwaves, appearing on The Dom Giordano Show<\/a>, The Martha Zoller Show<\/a>, and the national CBS radio network.\u00a0 He also appeared on WFTL Morning News<\/a> the morning after Labor Day.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Mix’s Labor Day statement<\/a> was aired on at least 10 radio stations in Right-to-Work states and forced-unionism states alike.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\nMix was also published in the Detroit News<\/i> discussing<\/a> how union boss monopoly bargaining is bankrupting Detroit\u2019s public schools — pointing out the reality that "[t]he Detroit school district would be much better off if state legislators and [Michigan] Gov. Jennifer Granholm repealed or dramatically rolled back state policies promoting union monopoly bargaining in public schools."\n<\/p>\n

\nMix also was published on National Review Online<\/i> exposing<\/a> the stunning resemblance forced unionism has to the launching of President Barack Obama’s political career:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\tWhy is Obama so comfortable with this coercive approach to workplace organizing? Perhaps because his political career was launched under similar circumstances. Few remember it now, but Obama\u2019s electoral debut came in 1996, when he won a seat in the Illinois state legislature. \u201cWon\u201d is a bit of a misnomer, however, as candidate Obama ruthlessly eliminated his opponents by disqualifying signatures collected for ballot eligibility. <\/span><\/b><\/b>\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\tAs former <\/span> National Review<\/span><\/i> political reporter David Freddoso detailed in <\/span>his 2008 book on Obama<\/span><\/a>, voters\u2019 signatures were thrown out for a variety of spurious reasons, including one woman\u2019s failure to list her married name instead of her maiden name. Other voters were struck from the lists for printing instead of signing their names on the eligibility petitions. Obama not only had his main opponent disqualified, he also succeeded in forcing a protest candidate off the ballot. Obama has personally admitted he felt \u201cuncomfortable\u201d with this hardball political tactic, but success has evidently allayed any guilt. After his opponents were disqualified, Obama won a seat in the state legislature by default.<\/span><\/b><\/b>\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t…\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\tIn 1996, Obama\u2019s team of political operatives succeeded in bypassing an entire election. President Obama now seeks to end elections in every workplace in the country. He has already issued a series of executive orders designed to pressure government contractors to submit to compulsory unionism. Next up on the administration\u2019s checklist: rolling back basic union financial-disclosure guidelines. Forced unionism via card check may not be far behind.<\/span><\/b><\/b>
\n\t<\/span><\/b><\/b>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n\t Under card check, employees would have only one choice: submit to unionization and forced union dues. As some Chicago voters discovered in 1996, having only one choice is not a real choice at all.<\/span><\/b><\/b>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n \n<\/p>\n

\nThe National Right to Work Committee also capitalized on the Labor Day holiday to spread the message of individual liberty.\u00a0 Committee Vice President Doug Stafford appeared<\/a> on the Lars Larson Show on the lead up to Labor Day.\u00a0 Stafford also sat down<\/a> with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review<\/i> to talk of the dangers of card check forced unionism and Big Labor’s political muscle.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe effort for workplace freedom continues.\u00a0 National Right to Work will continue to expose the evils of compulsory unionism as we work toward a day in which no American if forced to be a member of, or pay tribute to, an unwanted union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
