Letter to the editor: Unions have created a mess in the state of Wisconsin

Have you taken time to think through the mess we have in Wisconsin? Franklin Roosevelt and George Meany were both against public sector unions. Even though I disagree with both of them on most issues, I have to agree with them on this one.

Unions pressure Democrats on tax

Unions pressure Democrats on tax Unions leaders, among the most passionate backers of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, pressed Democratic senators Thursday to drop a tax on high-value insurance plans to pay for remaking the nation’s system. As the Senate entered its 11th straight day of debate on the sweeping legislation, members of several labor unions denounced the proposed tax on so-called “Cadillac plans,” arguing it wouldn’t just hit CEOs but also middle-class Americans who passed on salary increases to negotiate better health benefits.

Letter to the editor: EFCA would build a wall between employers, workers

I have read the bill synopsis and have seen a lot of propaganda both supporting and opposing the Employee Free Choice Act, and frankly I find it hard to fathom that such legislation is even being considered in Congress.

Letter to the editor: Nation’s workers deserve passage of EFCA now

Our debt-based economy has been out-of-whack for a long time. It’s too bad it took a financial meltdown on Wall Street for our politicians to realize that working families have been hurting for years.

Letter to the editor: EFCA would help workers, strengthen our economy

We all know our economy is struggling right now. Millions of workers are getting laid off, businesses are closing, and working families are finding it harder and harder to make ends meet. Now that President Barack Obama has signed an economic recovery plan to create new jobs or save the ones we have from disappearing, we need to make sure they are good jobs that can support a family. One of the best ways to do that is to join a union.

Letter to the editor: Big businesses are distorting facts on EFCA legislation

There’ve been a lot of misleading ads on TV lately about the Employee Free Choice Act and the secret ballot, and I’d like to set the record straight. Big corporations are spreading misinformation (one could say they’re lying) by claiming that the EFCA would take away ballot elections from workers trying to form a union. That is simply not true.

Facts are being distorted on Employee Free Choice Act

Over the past few months, I have been watching the ads on TV, listening to radio talk shows, reading letters to the editor and doing my own research on the Employee Free Choice Act.

Letter to the editor: EFCA bill attacked unfairly by nation’s business owners

The bill titled the Employee Free Choice Act has been getting hammered on the air waves and by some letters to the editor. The EFCA would make it easier for workers to form unions and work to raise their pay and benefits. The alternative to organizing is to accept whatever your benevolent boss decides to pay you. For the most part that’s paying as little as possible — imagine that.
