On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor the Do Your Job Act, H.R. 1902, introduced by Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.). This bill would end the practice of “official time,” which currently allows federal employees to perform outside union business while on the clock -- and on the taxpayers’ dime.

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to vote NO on the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, H.R. 2474. The PRO Act is one of the most anti-worker and anti-business bills that we have ever seen brought to the House floor, and is an updated version of the PRO Act passed along a near-party line vote during the last Congress in February 2020. Introduced by Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), the PRO Act is a giveaway to labor unions that would harm our economy and would especially target workers who choose not to join unions.

I don’t want to shock our readers but, occasionally, liberals can be inconsistent. They can be, if one dares use the term, hypocritical. This latest example came to my attention as I was researching a recent piece on the case the Supreme Court is hearing with regards to unions. 

Things aren’t looking so good for big unions in the United States. School choice has teachers’ unions running scared and right to work is, well, working. As unions lose their strongholds around the country, they are looking for more ways to shore up their power. An upcoming case at the Supreme Court, though, might chip away at said power even more. 

For many teachers, their job is a calling. It is what they love to do, a profession for which they have worked and studied, and at which they want to continue. What happens, then, when a good teacher is forced to give money to a group which she opposes in order to keep her job? In the case of California’s Rebecca Friedrichs, she is fighting back. 

Are you worried that there might be an aspect of your life into which unions and politics haven’t yet intruded? Fear no more! There is now a handy list of union-made candy to hand out at Halloween, put together by the folks over at Labor 411.

We suspected the unions in Michigan would continue to fight back against recently passed right to work legislation, and we were correct.  Unions, displeased that it passed, are showing their displeasure through various legal maneuvers that resemble litigious temper tantrums.  

Right to Work is sweeping the rust belt! Workers are free to choose whether or not they would like to join a union in Michigan and Indiana, in the heart of the rust belt, as well as in its further reaches such as Iowa.

Public sector unions in Wisconsin are faltering thanks to Governor Walker’s bold and courageous reforms, but the pro-union protestors are still making trouble in the great state.
