This is the time to petition your congressmen to co-sponsor the National Right to Work Act introduced by Senator Rand Paul (S 525) and House Representative Joe Wilson (HR 1275).

We need public debate on the unconstitutionality of forced union membership and pay forced union dues just to be hired and maintain a job. The Bill of Rights 1st Amendment guaranties the Right to Assemble and hence, (the Right Not To Assemble) including if we represent oneself and speak for oneself. Join a union if you want to, quit a union if you want to. A "Closed shop" does not imply a "closed business."

It is very curious that in California in 2012, proposition #32 was defeated by DEMOCRATS which ended all labor union and corporate donations to political candidates, PACs and Parties. Even more curious, is that Big Corporate America is in bed with Big Labor, who together subsidize the Democrat Party, driving industry and jobs overseas or hire illegal aliens displacing our own labor force. (But you aren't supposed to make the connection of these slimy sweetheart deals under the table) as we are reduced to poverty at home:

That’s all hogwash,
Amalgamated!
The right to work laws guarantee lower wages. Who would want that besides ...corporations and rich Walmart owners.
I always considered dues as your highest 2 hours pay/ month, a small price to pay for workers protections, fairness, and a seat at the Bargaining Table.
Does right to work law give you any of that ?
Or as in South Carolina a program whereby you yourself bargain down your own wages.

Milosia2 Loc: Cleveland Ohio

The corporations listed gain their wealth from democrats. They’re not stupid. They don’t like them , but, if the Dems don’t work , they don’t buy any of the products made by your list. If they decide to act like Fascists , they’re out of business. If they decide to control all the “free markets “ who will win . Things are bending back our way because as I’ve said before, the money has all been collected.
If we don’t have purchasing power we don’t have wealth to be gained.
The American consumer Has a lot of power if they decide to use it.

Wait a minute, do you think this is some kind of big commie plot?
Or is it you just can’t understand why corporations would ever donate Anything to democrats. ?

Firstly, it is not common for corporations to make direct contributions to political parties or campaigns. They contribute through sponsored or industry affiliated Political Action Committees. This yields slight separation. Employee contributions into PACs are on a volunteer basis.

That makes them substantially different than unions applying member dues to campaigns.

In my experience PAC's donate to both parties often favoring the party they think will help their industry most.....
which means how much leverage will the PACs donation yield.

I've heard it all from the union propaganda.

Let me ask you: Which is the cause of low wages?
a) Greedy corporations hoarding all the profits?
b) The IRS taxes are much too high?
c) The Federal Reserve Bank devaluing the purchasing power of our currency?

Psssst. The answer is "C"

Have you ever in your lifetime heard of a labor union demanding we audit the Federal Reserve Bank to find out how much extra currency bailout money they print way beyond the value of our GDP?

Do you know that the Federal Reserve Bank has never been fully audited since its inception in 1913? Never-ever?
The purchasing power of the dollar today is 3 Cents despite the industrial revolution and automation. What's wrong with this picture?

Do you understand why counterfeiting money is illegal? These secret bailouts of the Fed are equivalent to the biggest bank heist in human history. If you are bored and have nothing to do, read Congressman Louis McFadden's testimony (chair of the House Banking Committee) before Congress in 1934 about the Federal Reserve Bank's subsidizing the Bolshevik Revolution, the rise of Hitler, it's raid on Fort Knox, and its endless counterfeiting presses humming day and night. By the way, McFadden's life was hell, 3 murder attempts, the 3rd one of poisoning was successful. If you pull up this McFadden report, read it in full, you will be astounded!

Congressman McFadden on the Federal Reserve Corporation
Remarks in Congress, 1934
AN ASTOUNDING EXPOSURE
Reprinted by permission 1978 Arizona Caucus Club

"On May 23, 1933, Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank system, The Comptroller of the Currency and the Secretary of United States Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including but not limited to, CONSPIRACY, FRAUD, UNLAWFUL CONVERSION, AND TREASON.

"The petition for Articles of Impeachment was thereafter referred to the Judiciary Committee and has

"Congressman McFadden's Speech On the Federal Reserve Corporation

"Quotations from several speeches made on the Floor of the House of Representatives by the Honorable Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania. Mr. McFadden, due to his having served as Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee for more than 10 years, was the best posted man on these matters in America and was in a position to speak with authority of the vast ramifications of this gigantic private credit monopoly...." [This report is very detailed and lengthy, but well worth the education.]

(PS Franklin Roosevelt virtually nationalized the Fed by creating the 1933 National Emergency Banking Act (Glass-Steagall) and 1935 Banking Act creating the FDIC and the Comptroller of the Currency oversight of all private banks, (but that's another story), which achieved nothing to end the counterfeiting and embezzlement. The Great Depression was not caused by the public run on private banks, but the Federal Reserve's raid on the Government bank, Fort Knox,)

Milosia, I am really serious. If you can't do the math, you don't know who is cheating you. No labor union raise can beat the Federal Reserve Bank's currency manipulation when the money made today is worthless tomorrow. I have yet to hear one labor union be upfront about the failing of Karl Marx's government central bank, the Federal Reserve affecting the cost of living and wages.

There still is a problem with corporations subsidizing PACS since corporate profits are derived from their customers who represent a wide assortment of political parties. It's hard to know which companies to boycott.

Hillary Clinton sat on the board of WALMART for decades, yet today, Walmart has ended its support of the Democrats and for Red China at Trump's request to come home. Walmart made masks and uniforms for hospitals and staff because of Covid-19. It is difficult to know which corporation is supporting which politician today.

I guess you didn’t hear when I said that most corps, until recently (FAANG), do not use their PACS money to virtue signal. They use for leverage to gain favorable legislation.

The source of corporate profit is irrelevant. It is the corporations earned money, therefore up to its directors via their PAC, to decide where it goes.

Political donations are highly regulated. Information about them can be had.

I understand your desire to fund corporations and candidates that show to be like-minded with you. Can you trust what the corps say publicly? Their angle is always bottom line, as it should be. There is so much more to life than exerting energy and emotion rallying others to join you in a cause and tie yourself up over the purchase of fuel from Shell, Exxon or Chevron.

CounterRevolutionary

You are making an assumption above, Wtroxell, that simply is wrong, writing:

"The source of corporate profit is irrelevant. It is the corporations earned money, therefore up to its directors via their PAC, to decide where it goes."

I disagree. Then one could easily apply that same rationale to unions. Labor Leaders or CEOs are gathering their funds from a mixed, motley crew of workers and customers holding wildly different political preferences. That was the same objection California Proposition 32 intended to remedy.

And then you followed with another false assumption citing that you:
"understand [my] desire to fund corporations and candidates that show to be like-minded with [me]."

Again, that is a false assumption. My apology for not writing more clearly.

My complaint against Big Labor is the same complaint against Big Business.

Labor exposed their hypocrisy when refusing to back California's Proposition 32, which banned both corporate and union contributions to political parties.

Big Labor has no intention of serving their rank and file, but only advancing the Bilderberg Group's socialist New World Order and their galloping globalist corporations and central banks orchestrating the UN's Agenda 21, (the extinction of 3/4ths the world's population.)

The principle is the same: FORCED union dues or FORCED consumer contributions to unwanted political parties is FLAT OUT WRONG. There is no such thing as a collective "group think" amongst workers or consumers

The FBI has files on the Soviet Union's plan to conquer the world using "triangles of power" between CEOs of Big business, Labor Union Leaders, and the Communist Party. So far, it is working.

Huge difference between Corporate PACs and Unions. Corp Employee donation/participation in PACs is voluntary. Union donation/participation with political contributions is not voluntary.7

Corporate profits come from their customers, not their employees. Are you making this stuff up as you go?

Let's look at an earlier example of California and misuse of government employee forced union dues:

When California's special election was held to remove Governor Grey Davis and end ENRON's rolling blackouts, Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped forward to save the people. To make elections fair, our new governor advanced campaign finance reform with Proposition 75 mandating union leaders seek consent from their rank & file prior funding only Democrat politicians. Even the "conservative" (?) first responders, especially the police and firemen unions, turned against Prop 75 and Schwarzenegger, time and time again. Why?

Every proposal the Republican governor put forth to balance the State's budget and reform political campaign financing, was rejected by the police and firemen's unions. These government employee unions have destroyed the integrity of our first responders, law and order and our national security. Here is a portion of a NPR radio interview aired in 2005:

Calif. Unions, Schwarzenegger Battle over Prop. 75
November 2, 2005 12:00 AM ET
https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4986403

"Mr. JIM PARENTI (California State Employees Association Union Member): The union leadership is exercising my First Amendment rights on my behalf without asking me. How is that right?

"KEITH: The folks behind Proposition 75 say people like Jim Parenti are the reason their initiative is needed. They say union leaders in the public sector should have to ask their members individually each year if they want their dues money to be spent on politics. These unions represent teachers, firefighters, police officers and nurses, all of whom have emerged as such powerful critics of the governor that they've become a major roadblock to his political agenda. They've spent tens of millions of dollars to get their message out with TV ads like this one."

Prop 75 failed at the ballot box because of heavy union opposition ads. Years later, the CA Supreme Court mandated the unions return dues to Republican rank and file in the public sector unions. This was an exercise in futility after the Democrats had not only seized a super-majority in both houses in the Legislature, Senate and Assembly, but funneled our SEIU union dues to advance the FARC drug cartel communist membership in the Columbian Congress "promoting democracy," the foreign policy of President Obama and Secretaries of State Clinton and John Kerry.

Now we must organize a private posse comitatus to defend our southern border and shut down this poisoning of our children while our criminal President opens the borders? We cannot impeach this treasonous snake fast enough.

The socialist Democrats are under the delusion that by making the USA poorer, the rest of the world will get richer, redistributing the wealth, the work and the responsibility. We do not live on a one-sum-pie planet. Socialism always implodes, then everybody goes to war fighting over the last scraps.

Back in California, every proposal Schwarzenegger advanced to save the economy was defeated by the police, fire, teachers, and nursing unions! The state debt was expanded by hundreds of billions of dollars under Governors Gerry Brown and Gavin Newsom. Now the Left Coast wants Joe Biden to bail out California, Oregon and Washington under Biden's new Infrastructure bill which includes the PRO-Act granting forced union monopoly bargaining power across all 50 states.

Call your congressmen to co-sponsor the National Right to Work Act.

Biden's Slimy Secretary of Labor, Marty Walsh, and the Boston Police Union have been shielding a 42 year pedophile on the beat.

National Right to Work Committee:
Forced-Unionism Abuses Exposed Vol 21, No. 05 - June 2021
"Did Biden Labor Secretary Lie to Conceal How Boston Police Union Brass Had 'Enabled and Elevated an Accused Child Molester'?
https://nrtwc.org/category/nrtwc-newsletter/

I'm going to paraphrase this lengthy article about Biden's current Secretary of Labor, Marty Walsh, who is creating a special commission to advance monopolistic unionism in all state and county work forces.

As previous Mayor of Boston, Marty Walsh covered up a public scandal regarding a pedophile policeman on the force for 42 years (Officer Patrick Rose) who eventually became president of his union, the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association (BPPA).

Again, the Boston Police Department tried to fire Officer Patrick Rose, but the BPPA police union attorneys mounted a defense back in 1997 which kept the dirty cop on the beat for an additional 21 years with full pay. Boston Mayor, Marty Walsh rebuffed any media access to Rose's files.

Public employees should never be allowed to unionize, the capacity for corruption and scandal is just too great, a national security threat. The good cops need to be able to purge their own ranks.
