New York taxpayers are told the MTA has an “overtime problem.” That’s like saying the Titanic had a “water problem.” A new report on Long Island Rail Road overtime shows costs keep ballooning while union work rules stay locked in place. LIRR President Rob Free doesn’t sugarcoat it: “The unions have refused to change work rules that have exacerbated overtime and they went on strike to prevent common sense reform.” Translation: When union rules make it impossible to manage staffing efficiently, overtime isn’t an accident; it’s the system working exactly as designed . . . for everyone except the taxpayers footing the bill. lilifepolitics.com/news/long-isla…

The COVID "emergency" ended years ago . . . except in the fevered minds of union bosses at the SEIU. Government union officials in California are threatening a "mass exodus" because Gov. Newsom wants state employees to return to the office four days a week. Oh, my. The humanity. Now, SEIU bosses in California are pressuring politicians to pass a law requiring agencies to justify why employees should have to work in the office. Imagine if private-sector workers demanded a state law forcing their employers to justify why they had to come to work. That's the problem with government unions. They don't just bargain with government officials; they lobby and elect the very politicians they bargain with. Now they're blackmailing the state, threatening a "mass exodus" because state employees might have to show up to the office four days a week. This isn't collective bargaining. It's political blackmail . . . and the perfect example of why unions have no place in government. kcra.com/article/califo…

Only in New York could politicians try to make it illegal to tell government employees about their constitutional rights. The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation fought all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and won the landmark Janus v. AFSCME decision, which affirmed that public employees cannot be forced to join or financially support a union as a condition of employment. Now, a new Albany-backed scheme would empower the state to go after organizations that inform public workers of their right to refuse union membership and dues. That's right -- union bosses are so afraid workers might exercise free choice that they're pushing laws to silence anyone who tells them they have it. nypost.com/2026/06/17/opi…

What could possibly go wrong . . . ? After just 37 years of federal oversight, the Trump DOJ is moving to end its monitoring of the Teamsters union. You know, the oversight that only existed because federal prosecutors confirmed the union had been infiltrated by organized crime and operated as a racketeering enterprise for decades. The oversight was imposed after a 1988 RICO lawsuit that exposed mob influence, corruption, extortion, election rigging, and a culture of intimidation inside the union. Nearly 400 corrupt officials and associates were eventually barred from the Teamsters as a result. But apparently Washington now believes the Teamsters can be trusted to police themselves (no, they can’t -- see links in the comments below). What a coincidence that this gift arrives from the Trump DOJ just as Teamsters boss Sean O'Brien was elected to his second term after “helping” Trump in 2024 with his famous "non-endorsement." Funny how political favors seem to work. Of course, O’Brien -- with his own questionable past -- is a man who lauds the criminal former head of the Teamsters, Jimmy Hoffa, as a “great man and legendary labor leader” who brought “dignity” and “respect” to workers. Hardly. The Teamsters spent generations earning their well-deserved reputation for corruption. Hopefully, workers won't be the ones paying the price again should history repeat itself . . . as it most certainly will. usnews.com/news/us/articl…

Uber and Lyft drivers are about to become Big Labor’s next victim. As Reason reports, only 25% of workers in a job sector can now open the door for union bosses to impose wages, work rules, benefits mandates, and other restrictions on EVERY worker in that industry. And who's cheering it on? The faux-conservative crowd at American Compass keeps pushing the same European-style labor schemes that would destroy the flexibility and independence millions of Americans rely on. The appeal of driving for Uber or Lyft (not to mention every other “side hustle” in the gig economy) is simple: the freedom to work when you want, where you want, and as much or as little as you want. Sectoral bargaining turns that model upside down by letting union officials and government bureaucrats dictate the terms for everyone. If this spreads, say goodbye to flexible gig work. Fewer opportunities. Higher costs. Less freedom. And more power concentrated in the hands of corrupt union bosses who don't even need majority support to take control. In what kind of country does 25% of a workforce get to decide how the other 75% must work? That's not freedom. That's the tyranny of the minority for the benefit of Big Labor. reason.com/2026/06/13/you…

🚨National Right to Work Foundation @Right2Work President Mark Mix shared how we must stop this new bill that give Democrats a big victory for their allies in Big Labor with the help of a handful of populist Republicans. Mix says this isn't populism on the part of those like @GOP Sen @HawleyMO. Democrats won't need Republican senators once they return to power. Brian Darling writes for @realclearpolicy , "The Faster Labor Contracts Act (FLCA) is bad policy and terrible politics. In the name of speeding up the approval of a first labor contract between a union and employer, government is empowered to order the terms of a collective bargaining contract." Just 5.9% of private sectors employees are unionized. there is no need to assist Democrats in their quest to force unionization.

Two antisemitic birds of a feather . . . NEA President Becky Pringle's meeting with far-left NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani tells you everything you need to know about today's teachers union bosses. For years, the NEA has pushed radical politics while antisemitism has exploded on college campuses and in K-12 schools. Instead of confronting the problem, union bosses keep cozying up to the same activists and politicians fueling it. The NEA doesn't just tolerate this toxic climate -- it has helped create it. Union bosses have spent years injecting divisive political activism into classrooms, and now they're reaping the results as antisemitism spreads while they look the other way. washingtonreporter.news/scoop-help-com…

Here are the 20 Republicans who voted against the American worker but who love the union bosses: Florida Carlos Gimenez (FL-28) Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27) Minnesota Pete Stauber (MN-08) Nebraska Don Bacon (NE-02) New Jersey Chris Smith (NJ-04) Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02) New York Andrew Garbarino (NY-02) Nick LaLota (NY-01) Mike Lawler (NY-17) Nick Langworthy (NY-23) Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) Ohio Mike Carey (OH-15) Dave Joyce (OH-14) Max Miller (OH-07) Michael Rulli (OH-06) Mike Turner (OH-10) Pennsylvania Rob Bresnahan (PA-08) Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) West Virginia Riley Moore (WV-02)

Twenty House Republicans just crossed the aisle and joined every single House Democrat to give Big Labor an early Christmas present by passing Josh Hawley’s so-called "Faster Contracts Act." Don't be fooled by the name. This bill isn't about helping workers negotiate better contracts. It's about taking negotiations away from workers and employers and handing power to government-appointed arbitrators. This bill turns contract negotiations into little more than a procedural formality. If the parties don't reach an agreement fast enough, outside government arbitrators (who know nothing about the workers or the companies that employ them) will step in and dictate wages, benefits, work rules, and other terms of employment that workers have no choice but to accept. The biggest winners aren't workers. It’s the union bosses. The Faster Contracts Act replaces voluntary agreement with government dictate, all while giving union officials exactly what they want: a contract imposed from above and workers locked into union representation whether they like the result or not. reason.com/2026/06/10/the…

The biggest divide in organized labor today isn't between workers and management . . . it's between union bosses and their own members. According to a new report, United Steelworkers bosses spent millions pushing a political agenda that many rank-and-file workers never signed up for: funding LGBTQ+ activism, opposing ICE enforcement, backing left-wing political candidates and causes, and bankrolling and aligning themselves with openly communist groups tied to "No Kings" rallies. This isn't representation. It's a ruling class of union bosses using working-class money to fund an agenda that working-class Americans repeatedly reject at the ballot box. Maybe that's because forced dues make it a lot easier to push Big Labor's ideological agenda than voluntary support. If union bosses had to earn every dollar from the workers they claim to represent, they might think twice before spending millions on candidates and causes their own members reject. dailysignal.com/2026/06/09/exc…

What could possibly be so important that Republicans Mike Lawler, Nick LaLota, Rob Bresnahan, Brian Fitzpatrick, Max Miller, Don Bacon, and Riley Moore are willing to join Democrats and hand Hakeem Jeffries the keys to the House? After defeating Big Labor's PRO Act --- which would have wiped out every state Right to Work law and imposed government-written union contracts on workers and businesses -- some Republicans are now jumping on Josh Hawley’s so-called "Faster Labor Contracts Act" to give union bosses another bite at that rotten apple. The PRO Act's forced arbitration scheme was one of the most dangerous Big Labor power grabs in decades. If a union and employer failed to reach a deal within 90 days, government-appointed arbitrators would dictate wages, benefits, and work rules for two years … without even a vote by rank-and-file workers. Republicans stopped it once. Why are some now trying to bring it back? dcjournal.com/why-would-any-…

Mr. Miller's petition was filed with free legal aid from @RightToWork staff attorneys. We congratulate Mr. Miller and his coworkers on exercising their legal right to terminate the presence of unwanted Boilermakers union bosses at their workplace. nrtw.org/news/alabama-s…

Ever notice how union activists love to scream about corporate CEOs' salaries but go strangely silent when it comes to their own union bosses' lavish compensation packages? Take Hotel Gaming and Trades Council boss Rich Maroko. While the workers he represents are required to pay union dues or lose their jobs, Maroko is reportedly taking home a compensation package approaching $1 million a year. Here's the difference: a CEO earns money by leading a company that produces goods and services people voluntarily choose to buy. Union bosses like Maroko get rich collecting dues from workers who have no choice but to pay or be fired. On top of that, whistleblowers allege the HTC union, which claims 400,000 dues-paying members in New York and New Jersey, is riddled with “corruption, misconduct and malfeasance." The fact is, it’s the very nature of the whole forced unionism system that makes it ripe for corruption and abuse. The solution is simple: Right to Work. If union leaders are truly providing value to their dues-paying “customers,” workers will voluntarily support them. If not, they shouldn't be able to rely on government-backed coercion to keep the money flowing. dailywire.com/news/new-york-…
