CAIR loses battle to block unionization of its national office.

Although the radical Islamic organization, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), will march with its Communist comrades for LGBT and transgender rights, minimum wage hikes and unionization of fast food franchises and companies such as Boeing, tolerance of Progressive dogma involving workers’ rights has its limits.

CAIR is fighting the Service Employees International Union’s attempts to unionize employees at CAIR’s national office.

What’s good for others is bad for CAIR?

Quite a turn around considering that during the last week of February, CAIR’s Georgia office marched alongside demonstrators in Marietta Georgia calling for improved work conditions and the unionization of a Nissan car plant in Mississippi.

According to The Daily Caller, more than 50% of CAIR employees filled out union cards handed out by SEIU 500.

CAIR took its fight to the NLRB arguing that “that it is a religious organization and therefore exempt from the National Labor Relations Act.”

Asserting that CAIR is a “civil rights group” and not a religious organization, on April 7, 2017, the NLRB’s Region 05 rejected CAIR’s argument.

The NLRB will hold an election by secret ballot on April 24, 2017.

Christopher Honey, communications director for SEIU Local 500 was taken aback by CAIR’s reaction to the unionization of its employees. Honey told The Daily Caller:

“My understanding is that they [CAIR employees] reached out to us. This is an area where we are present, and so its not unusual to be approached by employees like the ones at CAIR,” Honey explained.

“We were surprised,” Honey admitted when asked about the decision by CAIR’s management to fight efforts by its employees to unionize. “They have historically been a progressive organization, and so I was very surprised that they saw it fit to appeal,” he continued…

Hold on to your hat, I do not see CAIR conceding to the will of its employees, the NLRB ruling or SEIU. How about you?

U.S. signed agreement with Mexico to teach immigrants to unionize

Washington Examiner, Sean Higgins

The federal government has signed agreements with three foreign countries — Mexico, Ecuador and the Philippines — to establish outreach programs to teach immigrants their rights to engage in labor organizing in the U.S. The agreements do not distinguish between those who entered legally or illegally…..

The five-member board is the agency that enforces the National Labor Relations Act, the main federal law covering unions. In 2013, Lafe Solomon, the board’s then-acting general counsel, signed a “memorandum of understanding” with Mexico’s U.S. ambassador. The current general counsel, Richard Griffin, signed additional agreements with the ambassadors of Ecuador and the Philippines last year….

Outraged yet? You should be America. The law’s protections are extended to illegal immigrants, employed and engaging in union organizing while not legally authorized to work in the USA. American businesses can be sanctioned for terminating the illegal if the NLRB ordains that he or she was terminated for “activism.”

ALL ABOUT POLITICS AND THE VOTE:

Breitbart

SEIU recently launched a website where illegal immigrants can learn how to take advantage of the Obama amnesty order. The website, iAmerica.org, also includes a voter registration widget, powered by Rock the Vote on its ‘Citizens’ page, but stipulates,’If you are a U.S. citizen and over the age of 18 you have the right to have a say in how our country is governed. Register to vote and make your voice heard….’

Other labor groups like the AFL-CIO are training organizers to recruit illegal immigrants; the United Food and Commercial Workers is planning workshops and enlisting churches and community groups to locate illegal workers….

NATIONAL RIGHT TO WORK

“Union organizers verbally abuse Marriott employees and spy on workers in changing rooms after striking backroom deal with company officials

New York, NY (January 24, 2012) – A group of New York City Marriott (NYSE: MAR) employees – acting on behalf of their coworkers – have filed federal charges against the company and a local union for workplace intimidation and harassment.

The three SoHo Marriott employees filed the charges at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) with free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation attorneys.

New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council Local 6 union organizers entered into a backroom deal with company officials that allows union organizers unfettered access to the employees in order to install a union in the workplace….”

When employees have no desire to be unionized, unions and management should respect that.

At the same token, clearly something stinks whenever the union and management works together. As history has proven, such backroom deals NEVER benefit the employee.

Stop the harassment and boot union thugs out on their arses.

RIGHT TO WORK

“(Video recorded July 2007) UPDATE!!! (8/29/2011) NLRB Voted to eliminate Secret Ballot Protections on 8/26/2011!!! Dana is overruled — and the decision is applied retroactively to bar even elections that have already been held but not counted. So much for the sanctity of the secret ballot election.”

Boeing Workers Strike Back Against Obama Labor Board

I received the email (below) from Legal Defense Fund Inc., National Right to Work.

Earlier this week, three South Carolina Boeing employees with the assistance of National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys took a stand against the tyranny of the Obama administration, the Machinists Union and the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) by filing a motion to stop the NLRB from shutting down Boeing’s North Charleston, South Carolina plant which if successful would save the jobs of those employed at the South Carolina plant.

In 2009, employees of the South Carolina plant voted (199 to 68) to decertify the Machinists union, which therefore brings into question the true motive behind the NLRB siding with the Machinist union against Boeing.

Such a move by the NLRB is an act of retribution deliberately intended to castigate employees of the South Carolina plant for their vote against the Machinist union while sending a message to other right to work states and Americans who would choose to fight for their rights.

National Right to Work (excerpt)

“This week, National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys filed a motion to intervene for three South Carolina Boeing workers in the National Labor Relations Board’s outrageous complaint against the airline manufacturer.

As you know, the union tyrants and their allies in the Obama Administration would rather shut down a plant than allow Boeing employees to work where they can’t be forced to pay dues or ‘fees’ to Big Labor.

Now, thanks to the dedication of Foundation supporters, real Boeing workers who could be forced out of their jobs are demanding their voices be heard.

You can bet Big Labor and Obama appointees will do everything they can to prevent the independent-minded workers from testifying….

Newspapers including Charleston’s The Post and Courier, Columbia’s The State, and the Charleston Regional Business Journal and local television news programs on WCSC and WBTW picked up the story.

Our extensive media outreach paid off, and the three Boeing workers contacted the Foundation for free legal aid…

…Dennis Murray, one of the Boeing employees, told local news reporters that the Obama Labor Board is ‘forgetting the little people…they’re forgetting the people trying to make a living and feed their families.’

And that’s exactly what this battle is all about. Hardworking Americans shouldn’t lose their jobs at the whim of unelected bureaucrats or out-of-state union bosses.

Watch the entire segment by clicking here. Please also share this story with friends, family, and other like-minded citizens.

This case has far-reaching implications for job providers nationwide considering expanding their businesses.

The Obama Administration has launched an attack on independent-minded workers, Right to Work states, and our free enterprise system.”

South Carolina has an unemployment rate of 9.8% yet that means nothing to an administration writhe with corruption, backroom deals and hell bent upon forcing its ideology down the throats of millions.

The war against right to work states and Americans who would choose not to join a labor union is the ultimate act of betrayal by a corrupt administration.
