From Business Insider:

[Former SEIU Official Stephen] Lerner said that unions and community organizations are, for all intents and purposes, dead.

Lerner’s plan is to organize a [...]

WATCH: SEIU Protesters Take Over Bank Headquarters

The thing about this video that is repulsive to me isn’t necessarily the storming of a private office by screeching idiots. After all they didn’t assault anybody and eventually left with out having to be arrested. The real bothersome part of this video is why they were at this particular bank.
Watch and [...]

Private Companies Could be Forced to Negotiate with ‘Mini-Unions’

Although the energy and influence of organized labor has shifted over to the public sector, union bosses are ambitious to regain their footing in the private sector.
