Union Group Calls 9/11 Attacks ‘Blowback’-Do National Leaders Agree? Members of the American Federation of Teachers, along with AFSCME, SEIU and several other national labor unions, are showing their true political stripes by joining the “Labor for Palestine” movement.
These groups are not just calling for a Palestinian homeland in the Middle East and a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian/Israeli standoff. They’re suggesting that the [...]
Congress Should Abolish ‘Labor’ Day When Congress created Labor Day in the late 1800s, it was to placate an increasingly hostile labor movement. At a time when American workers needed protection from heavy-handed industrial bosses, labor unions made sense.
But with the growing effort by Big Labor to unionize public employees, it’s left its mission of worker protection from dangerous conditions [...]
Public Sector Pensions: The Real Bailout Bomb is Still Midflight Will the madness ever stop? Just over two weeks ago, Congress passed a $10 billion “Education Jobs Fund” that gave money to cash-strapped states to keep teachers and other school employees on the job. It was spun as a victory for the kids, but the real winners were the teacher unions who were spared from [...]

The answer: Zero. Zip. Zilch.
The average American [...]
$10 Billion Public School Bailout Unnecessary Unions moved one step closer to receiving their own bailout Wednesday when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the U.S. House back from recess to vote on a stimulus bill for unionized public employees.
The House will vote to create a $10 billion “Education Jobs Fund,” a euphemism for a public school bailout. Those aren’t my words [...]
Teachers Unions Fear Competition and Will be the Downfall of American Education There is a weird dichotomy in American education: many teachers across the country impress upon their students that they must succeed for our nation to remain competitive in a global economy.
But at the same time, teachers unions fear, and downright besmirch, competition.
Competition is what has made America the greatest country in the world. Capitalist inventors [...]
Democrats Deceived Public in Claiming Public School Bailout was Deficit Neutral Senate Democrats were set to vote on a $10 billion bailout for public schools, claiming all along the measure was “paid for with spending cuts.” When the Congressional Budget Office revealed it was going to add $5 billion to the deficit, the vote was delayed until Wednesday.
The National Education Association, the biggest beneficiary of the [...]
