Supreme Court Case Tests the Limits of Union Power

Monday, January 11 will result in either the start of a very happy New Year for worker choice or the preservation of a nearly 40-year-old bad Supreme Court decision.

Matt Patterson the Executive Director at the Center for Worker Freedom was quoted in the Washington Examiner on Sunday December 13, 2015 in a piece about Labor Secretary Tom Perez’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president.

Matt Patterson the Executive Director for The Center for Worker Freedom was quoted on December 6, 2015 in The Washington Examiner in a piece discussing Hillary Clinton's labor union endorsements.  

Patterson was quoted stating,

"What strikes me about the SEIU endorsement is that there's a lot of the local chapter leadership that was very upset by this, because they want to support Bernie Sanders.”

He also mentioned the power that labor unions yield in elections saying:

Backing Hillary; holding workers back

The Iowa Caucus hasn’t started. Not a single American has cast a ballot, yet unions are already pledging their money and muscle to Hillary Clinton.

Unions have been pouring millions into the pockets of almost entirely Democratic politicians since they began. According to USAToday in one election cycle alone (2011-2012) unions spent $1.7 billion on political activities.

The United Auto Workers Union (UAW) is hell-bent on stealing Christmas, taking hundreds of dollars from autoworkers and their families that might have been spent on loved-ones and stuffing it into the pockets of Democratic politicians.

The UAW and the Grinch have something in common. They both steal from hardworking people. The UAW through forced dues and the Grinch through forced entry. The Grinch wants to rob people of happiness; the UAW wants power and it needs your money to get it.

The Center for Worker Freedom's Executive Director Matt Patterson wrote an article for Forbes on Friday November 20, 2015 about Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's plan to build a government-run casino. This is an attempt by Chicago to fix the extreme deficit they are running in their public pension system. 

Patterson describes why Mayor Emanuel wants to build a government-run casino and points out the various problems with this destructive idea. One of Patterson's points is: 

Volkswagen Denies UAW’s Request to Unionize at Chattanooga Plant

The recent attempt by the United Auto Workers Union (UAW) Local 42 to be recognized by a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee was contested by the automaker’s leadership.

 One hundred sixty-five maintenance workers filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) on October 23, 2015 to give UAW Local 42 collective bargaining power. Currently, Local 42 acts as a forum for conversation, but is not an official part of the UAW and cannot collect dues or such.

Maintenance Workers Attempt to Fix a Plant that is Not Broken

On Friday October 23, 2015 165 Chattanooga Volkswagen maintenance employees filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for a secret ballot election to give United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 42 collective bargaining power.

This is the UAW’s way of trying to unionize the entire Volkswagen plant one group at a time and there’s a term for it, micro-unions.

On Thursday October 29, 2015 Times Free Press quoted the CWF's Executive Director Matt Patterson. Mike Pare's piece, "ACE won't seek place with UAW on VW ballot" discusses the 165 Volkswagen maintenance employees who filed on Friday October 23, 2015 with the National Labor Relations Board to seek UAW representation. 

Pare wrote that Patterson expressed "he was not surprised the UAW was seeking another election" and that the UAW "wants an election as soon as possible".
