Guess who worked for this bunch?

“We represent management in all forms of state and federal litigation involving claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the American with Disabilities Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. We practice before governmental agencies, including, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, the Mine and Safety Health Administration, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and other Department of Labor agencies.

One of the two Democratic candidates for president! Talk about setting the fox to guard the henhouse!

Greed is destroying our constitution and society.

In the name of ‘compromise’ they fritter away the hard-earned gains of the membership, who bled and died for them.

What’s crazy is I sound like a radical commie, when in fact, I am personally conservative (I believe that to be a personal choice, not a state mandate) and open to suggestion. But I also know there comes a time you blacken the bully’s eye.

We simply must take over the organs of the Democratic Party, just like fundamentalists did to the Republican Party.

And that means kicking some party members to the curb.

The corporations will scream bloody murder, but if we can get a real Democratic majority,we can at least get back to 1960. They hated FDR for this.

Once again, a most important post! I agree with Arnie @ 20 that the post has not received the attention here which it truly merits.

If I might snark?

We may expect any number of similar ‘ugly U.S. exports’ of this nature.

Capitalists worldwide look to America for leadership.

Clearly, certain European nations have already embraced their own from of ‘Bush-Lite’ while others might well have ‘Bush-Heavy’ before too long a time has passed.

‘Union-busting’ training seminars and other ‘philosopies’ with similar economic intent will be sought by many.

So, mah fellow ‘Murkans, we have more than weapons and violent misery to export, afterall. We’re still numba 1!!!

The warning coincides with a report written for the TUC by Dr John Logan of the London School of Economics, which says “union-busting” consultants have been so successful in the US that only 7.5% of the private sector workforce are members of a union.

Though UK laws are stricter on employers that violate workers’ rights, the report warns that the activities of such consultants are likely to be more widespread than most unions realise.

Stewart Acuff, the AFL-CIO’s director of organising, said US unions would work with the TUC to prevent anti-union consultants from expanding into the UK.

“The US’s $4bn [£2bn] union busting industry is by far our worst export,” he said. “As the industry grows in the UK, it makes sense that we band together to fight these highly paid, morally bankrupt agents of corporate greed.

“Our fundamental source of power is workers united and in motion.”
