The Koch brothers are nothing more then "Domestic Terrorists" as they attempt a backdoor overthrow of the US Government. Why isn't the KBI, FBI, Homeland Security and Dept. of Justice going after them? They should be treated like the Terrorists they are.... all assets, businesses & money confiscated... plus prison time.
Berman and friends would really LIKE a negative minimum wage, where the employee would be forced to pay to keep his or her job. Seeing that this is absolutely a non-starter, they will gladly settle for a zero minimum wage, AND the company store where all employees MUST buy everything.
In Nevada Gov. Sandoval is directing tax dollars for public education to religious schools. We need our public schools financed with no religion as they are meant to be. There is a petition to stop his religious take over of our schools.
Arne Duncan and O'Bama BOTH need to be questioned relentlessly on this issue, and Duncan needs to have some REAL answers, not just more soothing platitudes. Why this level of secrecy?
This is what happens when the US Dept. of Education consists mainly of Bill Gates' former employees. Gates is running education in this country, or thinks he is, by spreading his money around. He's meeting with HUGE resistance to his ideas and plans from actual educators and education administrators who are, in fact, looking out for the best interests of actual children. Gates is after the global education profits. We all see that. Can't wait for the day when he becomes persona non grata, especially in the US.
What we as the Labor Movement need to start doing is pushing for Taft-Harley to be amended so that unions do NOT have to represent non-members in Open Shop settings. If we succeed in getting that done, it will defang so-called "Right-to-Work" laws, as almost everybody, if they know they will not get representation, or will have to pay for services rendered, will join, and those few who refuse, it will be a good thing, as they would not make good members anyway.
