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.

The American Federation of Teachers is a little bit clingy. Who can blame them, I suppose, when they are losing left and right? When local affiliates decide to disentangle themselves from the AFT in favor of more local control, the AFT has a very hard time letting go. This is currently the case in Dearborn, Michigan, as the Dearborn Federation of School Employees has decided to strike out on their own. The AFT is not letting them go without a fight.  

Claims from New York Democrats that a bill to legalize MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) in their state is being shelved due to various women's issues are nothing more than a trojan horse, according to supporters of the measure.
