This Aint Your Daddy's Union

THIS AIN'T YOUR DADDY'S UNION Labor unions have a long and storied history in this country. While the origi- nal intent was designed to help the average man in opposition to big busi- ness, these organizations have quickly become the definition of big busi- ness. Most people don't realize how corrupt, misleading, and influential unions have become in today's political process. Let's take a look at 8 facts we bet you didn't know about the unions you thought you knew: 15.3 million Americans belong to a union. That is more voting power than the membership of PETA, the Sierra Club, MoveOn.org, the Heritage Foundation, Americans for Prosperity, and FreedomWorks combined. Public Sector: 7.9 million TПm Private Sector: 7.4 million For the first time ever, we now have more public sector employees belonging to a union than private sector in the United States. “All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations." - Franklin D. Roosevelt 3 Only 45% of the NEA's members are Democrats, but.. TEACHERS 94% of donations made by the National Education Association since 1996 have FOR gone to Democrats. "The unions have been exposed as a honey pot for left-wing political causes that have nothing to do with teachers, much less students." Obama'08 - The Wall Street Journal 4 Since 2000, nearly 14,000 EEOC complaints have been filed against unions. 4,248 race discrimination 3,386 age discrimination 1,820 sex discrimination 1,642 disability discrimination 297 religious discrimination 2,422 miscellaneous 6 A severed cow's head was placed on the hood of one woman's car when she decided she needed a paycheck during a union strike. Later, someone made up a photograph with her face superimposed over the dead cow's head and mailed it to her. 6 83% of bad teachers never get fired. An interview with principals in the Chicago area revealed that cur- rent union power in their city makes it nearly impossible to fire teachers, even if they do a poor job of educating children. O About half of all union members in the U.S. live in the following 5 states: California New York Michigan Illinois New Jersey 2.5 million 2.0 million 0.7 million 1.0 million 0.7 million 8 States facing the highest budget deficits: California Illinois New York New Jersey Scary, huh?
