The Secret Truth 45

This is AFSCME Council 5 showing their support for Rep. Ilhan Omar. Union members have some of the best health care plans in the country. Ilhan Omar is a champion of Medicare for All. Medicare for All will eliminate EVERY Union negotiated healthcare plan in the country. If Ilhan Omar and her 'squad' get their way there will be very little reason left to be in a Union. Union members will have greatly reduced benefits. Of course AFSCME will not be lowering their dues or employers increasing wages. Nope, AFSCME will collect the same money and the employer will get a big boost by all the negotiated Healthcare plans they will no longer have to fund. The Secret Truth is AFSCME is working against their members, again!

UPS package handlers REJECTED a contract proposal, but IBT says it must be ratified anyways! Full Story Surprised? Don't be. More often then not these larger Unions are just part of a fabric of the left trying to usher in Socialism.  Recently in Minnesota Brian Aldes, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 320 joined forces with SEIU and AFSCME to protest a Supreme Court Ruling protecting First Amendment Rights of Union Members. The right to leave the Union! They believe in force, not choice. Gus Froemke, an admitted Socialist wrote the press release!  They tell you to join the Union for workers rights. United is stronger. But in reality it's toe the line or expect violence. If you don't vote right, they will jam it down your throat anyways.  There is a contingency within the Teamsters who want their voices to be heard, Teamsters for a Democratic Union (TDU). But just like Antifa now attacking anyone who voices disagreement, they end up at the end of a ...

Teamsters 320 Brian Aldes on megaphone  Teamsters Local 320 has backed anti-law enforcement and women beating candidate Keith Ellison and it just cost them big. Breaking: The Metro Transit Police just decertified Teamsters Local 320 as their representative! No surprise to this writer. Instead of backing their members, Teamsters Local 320 has been busy supporting Ellison and protesting the Janus decision, which allows members to quit to avoid their money supporting the likes of Ellison, and other far left candidates. They even support communist groups like the Democratic Socialist of America. Here's the proof. On September 17th Teamsters Local 320 and the usual suspects, AFSCME and SEIU protested the Center for the American Experiment in Minneapolis because Mark Janus was speaking. Look who wrote the Teamsters Local 320 Press Release, Gus Froemke. PRESS CONTACT Gus Froemke Email:  gmunroe@teamster.org Phone: (612) 378-8732 Look at Gus Froemke's website, ...

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 F...

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 ...

This Labor Day keep in mind the old DFL, (Democratic, Farmer, Labor) Party has abandoned Labor. Most Americans work to support their families and increase their standard of living. For years Minnesota's DFL Party claimed to be the champions of the blue collar worker.  No more. Governor Dayton has shown the hand of the entire party. Do not forget as we hit the election season that Governor Dayton vetoed the Tax Conformity Bill last session. This means while most of the country benefits from President Trump's tax cuts, many Minnesotans won't! According to the Duluth Tribune , "An estimated 800,000 Minnesotans are expected to end up paying up to $850 million in extra taxes."  Nationally many Democrats are running on repealing tax cuts and increasing taxes. In Minnesota the Democratic Governor made sure they get more of your money. So what used to be the DFL Party is now just the DF (Deaf) Party. Deaf to your desire to keep your own money! So this Lab...

You would think in light of the Janus decision, which allows public employees to quit their unions, those unions would at least try to serve their members. But no, too many decades of ignoring members for politicians apparently can't be stopped. The AFLCIO just endorsed Keith Ellison for Minnesota Attorney General. Even though thousands of AFLCIO members work as Corrections Officers and Police, they chose to endorse a candidate that is anti-law enforcement and an abuser of women, which last time I checked about half of the AFLCIO are women! The good news is, as members quit their public employee unions the endorsement means less and less. Why? Because very soon there will be no money to give the candidates!

I've been watching all of the latest Antifa violence taking place in Charlotte. Hundreds of Antifa protestors reacting to about 20 white supremacist. Attacking police and even the press. There's video of NBC reporters being assaulted . What does this have to do with Keith Ellison? Well, here he is posing with the Antifa Handbook, giving them the green light for violence against police and free speech. Funny, an Attorney General should be all about Law Enforcement. Maybe Keith misread the job description. I'll say a lot of things about Keith Ellison, but I have to admit he does walk the walk. He espouses violence and practices it too. Just ask his last girlfriend and her son.

The United States Supreme Court has ruled in Janus v AFSCME that Public Employees cannot be forced to be members of Public Employee Unions or forced to pay 'Fair Share' dues. Because of Union support of political candidates and issues, the U.S. Supreme Court has decided it is a violation of the 1st Amendment to force members to support political speech they may not condone. This post is not an endorsement or unendorsement of Janus, just a statement of the facts of law. There has been a lot misinformation about how to leave your Union. You DO NOT have to notify your Union. All that need be done is to notify your employer, usually just payroll, that you no longer wish to have Union dues withdrawn from your paycheck. So if you chose not to pay dues any longer, you now know the simple process. If you chose to continue. Nothing need be done.

Yesterday was the funeral of slain Stillwater Prison Corrections Officer Joseph Gomm. The 16 year employee was beat to death by an inmate doing his job. His job, and that of all Corrections Officers, is to protect society from people who have been deemed too dangerous to walk among us. Joseph Gomm, as all CO's at Stillwater Prison are, was a  member of the AFSCME Union. AFSCME's job is to represent the CO's. We know where Joseph Gomm was, w here was AFSCME? Where was AFSCME when Stillwater CO's were complaining about staffing cuts ? AFSCME was writing letters to the House of Representatives protesting enforcement of Immigration laws! Where was AFSCME when the Stillwater CO's were complaining about  violent inmates being released early from segregation ? AFSCME was  busy protesting the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. Where was AFSCME when assaults on Corrections staff were increasing? AFSCME was protesting with Black Lives Matte...
