A Blurb on Union Power

SEIU dispatches disinterested protesters to Wal-Mart and LAX. The baker’s union burned their own bread by forcing Hostess Brand into bankruptcy, taking down the Golden Twinkie that paid their entitlements. Teachers unions protect perverts to keep their perks. Now collective action is blocking the nation’s largest port yet again. From public sector unions in Sacramento to the ILWU in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the state of California is under siege from union power.  Pensions and benefits for public sector workers have reached crippling, unsustainable levels, breaking the bank of California, with two-thirds of the legislature bought by these special interests. Union strikes are an immoral show of force hurting workers, consumers, and the state. To paraphrase Calvin Coolidge: “There is no right to strike against the public interest by anybody, anywhere, any time.” California must break the unions, free the markets, and enact comprehensive pension reform.
