Obviously there is a lot of money that floats around in politics. Much of that money comes from Political Action Committees (PAC’s). PAC’s are funded by corporations, unions, and groups of people uniting behind a cause. Unfortunately, many PAC’s are indirectly funded by the federal government–organizations that take federal money then have extra money that they can put into PAC’s. Planned Parenthood, American Association for Retired Persons ( AARP), and unions are all examples of this. It is simply glorified money laundering. Most of the money from the groups mentioned above goes into Democrat campaign coffers. Therefore it should not surprise anyone that our current President is working hard to increase union membership and make unions stronger. That is one of many ways to strengthen Democrat political majorities.<\/p>\n
Yesterday The Washington Times posted an article about a new task force President Biden is forming:<\/p>\n
President Biden<\/a> tapped Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday to lead a White House task force aimed at the unprecedented goal of unionizing more workers in the U.S. with the broad support of the federal government.<\/strong><\/p>\n Mr. Biden signed an executive order creating the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment to mobilize Cabinet agencies and other federal offices to help workers \u201corganize and successfully bargain with their employers,\u201d the White House said.<\/strong><\/p>\n National Right to Work Committee President Mark Mix called Mr. Biden\u2019s task force \u201ca blatant payoff to the union politicos who backed his campaign\u201d in 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n I suspect the Vice-President will be devoting more time to this than she has to the border crisis.<\/p>\n The article notes:<\/p>\n It was another sign of organized labor\u2019s grip on the Democratic Party and its influence with Mr. Biden. Unions gave more than $27 million to Mr. Biden\u2019s presidential campaign and groups that supported him, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.<\/strong><\/p>\n The initiative was announced less than a month after online retail giant Amazon defeated a move to unionize workers at its huge warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama. It also follows a series of pro-union steps that Mr. Biden has taken, including a shake-up of the leadership at the National Labor Relations Board and an endorsement of the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, broad legislation that would make it easier for workers to unionize.<\/strong><\/p>\n American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, a close Biden ally, said the president \u201cis acting to remove the structural impediments to the power and promise of unions so workers can join together for a better life.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWorkers finally have a champion in Washington,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n Conservatives and pro-growth groups slammed the executive order as an effort to put Mr. Biden\u2019s thumb on the scale of the labor market.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sean Higgins, a research fellow with the Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington, said Mr. Biden \u201cseems to believe joining a union is an obligation that the federal government must prod workers to do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis executive order is a harbinger of further aggressive sales tactics from this administration on behalf of its union allies,\u201d Mr. Higgins said.<\/strong><\/p>\n Mr. Mix said the move will result in \u201canother attempt to rig the law against workers who want nothing to do with union officials\u2019 so-called representation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n This is not good news for workers who choose not to be part of a union.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Obviously there is a lot of money that floats around in politics.
