When Unions think they are above the Law!

I am shocked beyond belief. 

Fox News is reporting that,  

"Despite the landmark Supreme Court ruling this summer barring public-sector unions from requiring nonmembers to pay so-called agency fees, workers in several states say unions are either flat-out ignoring the decision or establishing a frustrating maze of procedural roadblocks to avoid compliance."
Rather then adhering to the Supreme Court decision in Janus v AFSCME that said Public Employees cannot be compelled to pay Fair Share Dues, they apparently think they can resist. 
For over 200 years a Supreme Court decision was final law. But these Unions are like a cancer. You think they are under control and they just metastasize!
SEIU and AFSCME (that directly lost) are now illegally making windows where people can withdraw at a future date. Some State Governments are even working with the Unions by not getting consent to take out dues.
But here's the frosting on the cake, the case was because AFSCME Fair Share members objected to their money (dues) being given to political candidates they didn't agree with. The Supreme Court ruled it violated their free speech (1st Amendment) rights by forcing them to support them.
For years it was believed that the Unions were just a pipeline of money to the Democratic Party. Well following that logic, apparently the Democratic Party believed they are entitled to those dues also. 
I'll leave you with this: The article goes on to say  "that states might be able to perform a constitutional end-run around Janus by directly funding unions using general tax revenues."

Have the Unions discovered their members?

So I'm watching the news , when suddenly I see Tim Henderson of AFSCME Council 5 supporting Stillwater Corrections Officers desire for more cameras and staff in the once again reopened industry area at Stillwater MCF! That's funny, in a pathetic way. While Stillwater prison CO's were asking for more staff before, where was AFSCME? Supporting Black Lives Matter  protesting law enforcement instead. When staff complained about the increase in inmate on staff assaults where was AFSCME? Backing the policy of letting inmates out of segregation early for "inmate mental health." For years AFSCME, SEIU and Teamsters have been more concerned with funneling money to Democratic politicians then supporting members. Suddenly the Supreme Court rules that Public Employee's don't have to pay fare share dues and the money spigot starts drying up. A good man dies on the job because the Union ignored member pleas for safe workplace conditions and even more members

Minnesota's elected officials' terror connections.

MN Congress woman Ilhan Omar is an active member of CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations), as is MN Attorney General Keith Ellison . CAIR passes itself off as a civil rights group protecting Muslims, but it is much more. The following is from Anti-CAIR .

Bye Bye Lake Wobegon

What used to come to mind when you thought of Minnesota?  Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion and Lake Wobegon? People of Scandinavian descent who spoke with an accent like in the movie Fargo? Honest politicians like Hubert Humphrey and Fritz Mondale? People going to their local Church on Sunday and eating hot dish afterwards? If that's still your idea of Minnesota, think again! Gone is Lake Wobegon. It's been replaced by Little Mogadishu !  The Lutheran Church quit serving hot dish and began serving up tens of thousands of Somali refugees instead. Thank you Lutheran Social Services (LSS). It's brought with them stabbings at malls and arson at Colleges . But some did come here to earn money, unfortunately they did it by defrauding taxpayers with phony daycare scams and sending the money to terrorists in Somalia.  But at least Minnesotans' are still socially conscious. They used to join the Peace Corps, but now they join Isis and Al Shabab .
