The Secret Truth 45

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.
