Stefan Gleason FL-CIO activists are staging a nationwide campaign this week called Seven Days in June. But amid the fanfare, the AFL-CIO brass are silent about the employees they have viciously terrorized for opposing forced unionism. In reality, of course, the AFL-CIO stands for workers' forced choice to join a union. These archaic federal laws, which are administered by union-manipulated government bureaucracies like the National Labor Relations Board, give union bosses the green light to pound defiant workers into compliance. It must be describing Big Labor's own campaign of terror against employees.
Examples are legion.
Ayres was steadfast in his refusal to pay for Big Labor's radical brand of politics. With that refusal, the union brass made good on its threat, and Ayres was promptly fired. He hasn't had a full-time job since. And only three weeks ago, John Masiello and Craig Sickler were fired by U.S. Air for not paying union dues to the Machinists union. If it were not for the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, workers such as these would be even more vulnerable to the abuses of compulsory unionism.
