MassResistance: UPS Driver Takes on Corporate and Union LGBT Extremism!

 

Christian UPS driver takes on the corporation over extreme LGBT and anti-Christian work environment.

Confronted pro-LGBT Teamsters Union that was supposed to help him.

Filed multiple grievances with UPS, the union, and federal agencies EEOC & NLRB.

We need more like him across America.

February 7, 2024

 When employees are at work in UPS facilities during Pride month, this is what is broadcast up above them.

As we all have seen, corporate America has become militantly pro-LGBT and anti-Christian over the past few decades. Unfortunately, most pro-family people who work for these companies have become too frightened (or compromised) to complain, much less fight for their rights.

This is the story of one man who decided he wouldn’t take it anymore, and fought back all the way to the top.

James Earls has worked at UPS for 35 years and is a devout Christian. He has received some of UPS’s highest awards for safety and loyalty. He is a driver of a large UPS “feeder truck.” He lives in Alabama and is represented by Teamsters Local 402. He recently brought the details of his efforts to MassResistance.

When most people think of anti-Christian and pro-LGBT companies, they think of Target, Amazon, Bank of America, the NFL, Delta Airlines, etc. But UPS is right up there with them. If you work there, you’re bombarded by the “woke” propaganda. However, since UPS is mostly not a “retail” operation, its huge support for anti-family causes is mostly hidden from view, so the public rarely sees that side of the company.

“Pride Month” at UPS

During the celebration of Gay Pride Month a few years ago, James entered the UPS facility in Madison, Alabama. UPS was showing its support and dedication to the LGBT movement by broadcasting images on all its large hanging TV monitors in various workstations, on its social media sites, and on the employee training computers throughout the building. If employees wanted to check on their benefits, paycheck, retirement funds, and other HR related information, they had no choice but to navigate through the images promoting LGBT pride.

 When employees log into their UPS portal, they get the constant propaganda.

In addition:

• The UPS website featured several stories about “transgender” UPS employees who had undergone their “transition” procedures, and the company was actively promoting that agenda.
  
   "Transgenders" get celebrated at UPS for "authenticity."
• UPS runs an in-house Pride Alliance Business Resource Group to elevate LGBT employees within the company and fund their participation in LGBT events across the country.
• Over the past two years the UPS Foundation has donated $1.2 million to advance the LGBT movement globally, including huge donations to the staunchly anti-Christian LGBT Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and StartOut. UPS proudly brags that HRC names UPS as one of the “best places to work for LGBTQ+ equality.”
• In 2022, UPSers volunteered nearly 10,000 hours to support the LGBTQ+ community.
• UPS partners with the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce to fund and support “certified LGBTQ+ businesses” across America

But most disturbing, James told us, “I discovered a link to a company that UPS had partnered with and was promoting called GayPrideCalender.com. That site sold homosexual merchandise from a print-on-demand business site, Zazzle.com. On their website, they sold sickening, blasphemous items, including shirts that depicted Jesus Christ as a radical homosexual who seeks sex with men.”

 ... and these magnets.

 Various fetish flags for UPS employees to order.

UPS support for other horrible causes

James started looking closely at UPS’s other activities, and things looked even worse.

UPS is heavily invested in “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity” (DEI) throughout the company. It has created an internal Equity, Justice & Action Task Force to deal with “unconscious bias” among employees. The company president commissioned an enterprise-wide salary review to support “pay equity” based on race and other factors.

UPS’s charitable arm has funded Planned Parenthood in several states, numerous far-left churches (including a “gay” Catholic group), Black Lives Matter, the ACLU, SIECUS (which pushes radical sex ed in public schools), and other anti-Christian and anti-American causes.

UPS is also a partner of the World Economic Forum and agrees with its “climate crisis” outlook.

All of this reveals UPS management’s orchestration of a frighteningly hostile climate of discrimination against Christians, conservative Americans, and white males in general that everyone (except James) was afraid to address.

UPS claims to support its employees’ civil rights

Interestingly, UPS has numerous company-wide policies that purport to protect its employees’ civil rights. But they’re basically just a smokescreen for doing the opposite.

For example, the company states that it supports the United Nations’ “Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights,” which strictly guarantee “social and cultural freedom,” and the right to be treated “with dignity and without discrimination” regarding religion and sex.

There are also “Zero Tolerance” postings in UPS buildings which state: “Don’t display offensive language, symbols or images on your personal belongings or on company property ... If you experience discrimination, sexual or racial misconduct, use our Open Door Policy to raise issues with your management team.”

So James fights back!

The company was clearly breaking its own rules, particularly during “Pride Month.” Someone needed the guts to test UPS’s obvious hypocrisy. James had had enough. And he wasn’t afraid. He decided to formally complain and demand UPS follow its own rules – through whatever manner he could find.

1. Contacting officials. As James told us, “To bring resolution to this with no further unpleasantries, I first tried to use UPS’s Open Door Policy and contacted UPS’s CEO, Carol Tomé, along with local Teamsters 402 General President Sean O’Brien about these issues.” But nothing came of that.

2. Filing grievances through the union. Since he was represented by the Teamsters Union Local 402, he filed four separate grievances through them, as laid out in the company’s collective bargaining agreement, directly addressing various aspects of the problem.

Unfortunately (as many of us know), the Teamsters long ago embraced the LGBT agenda and other leftist, anti-American ideologies. When the formal hearing for James’s grievances took place – with a room full of representatives from the UPS and the union – James was shocked. Not only did the union not advocate for him, but they treated him with hostility, as did the UPS representatives there. One union rep nastily said to James at the hearing, “If working at UPS was so bad, why continue to work there?” James lashed back at him. As he told us:

It got ugly real quick. I told him that I had a right to work in a hostile-free environment just as much as their beloved homosexual employees did. I told him that I have a right to work there and that I want to work in a place that is free from this hatred towards Christian employees.

 Unfortunately, this is the face of the Teamsters Union these days.

Not surprisingly, James later received a letter from the union telling him that all of his grievances were denied.

But James really got their attention like no other employee had! He stood up and clearly presented his evidence for all the grievances, describing in detail what UPS was doing to its employees – to the stone faces of the union and company officials.

3. Formal NLRB complaint against the union.  A few days after receiving the letter from the union denying his grievances, James filed a formal complaint with the National Labor Relations Board against the Teamsters Union. He cited the hostility towards him by his union at the hearing, and their inappropriate behavior which clearly showed that he was not being fairly represented. The NLRB acknowledged receiving the complaint but ultimately took no action, though surely the union was made aware of it.

4. Formal complaint filed with federal EEOC. The day after James filed the NLRB complaint, James filed a discrimination complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). He cited Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which bans religious discrimination in the workplace. He described how UPS is maintaining a hostile workplace by promoting the homosexual culture and images that mock the Christian faith – but denies equal time for Christian culture and imagery anywhere at the company. Similarly, the EEOC acknowledged receiving the complaint but took no action, though surely UPS was made aware of it.

Here’s the result …

Moving a massive worldwide corporation like UPS is too big a task for one man. But James did make a difference. The website link to the disgusting anti-Christian LGBT merchandise and pride event calendar was taken down and has not re-appeared.

And James has not suffered any retribution from anyone at the company, in any form. They obviously know that he means business and will never back down!

Final thoughts

A big reason why we all suffer from the corporate promotion of perversion is that too many employees are afraid to stand up for what’s right. America needs more men like James Earls!

Al Muratsuchi: Unevolved, Anti-Christian BIGOT

Al Muratsuchi is a massive union whore.

Now he's anti-Christian, anti-religious bigot who wants to shut down every form of free thinking and thought in the state of California.

He voted for legislation which would ultimately shut down every church and outlaw the Bible because the counseling, teaching, and information promotes natural marriage, gender identity, and family roles.

This is beyond disgusting.

Conversion therapy is completely appropriate for men and women who do not want same-sex attraction anymore. If they want to be set free from desires and demands which harm their bodies and minds, they are entitled to seek that treatment.

This is a full-blown attack on Judeo-Christian values, right here in the state of California. This is happening one step further than the awful affront that is SB 1146.

The Power of Righteous Indignation: Joy Behar Apologizes for Anti-Christian Bigotry

It's a good day for Christians in their fight against the abusive, corrupt, irreligious, anti-Christian bigotry in the media.

It all started with perennial anti-Trump bigot Joy Behar smearing Vice President Mike Pence and his Christian faith on the liberal kaffeeklatch yak-fest "The View":

"It's one thing to talk to Jesus. It's another when He talks to you. That's called 'mental illness'."
Wow! Can you say 'bigotry'? Behar also mocked Pence for his public propriety, in that he does not meet with or dine with any woman by herself except for his wife Karen. That is wisdom to the fullest, especially nowadays in the midst of the overwhelming #MeToo controversies exposing media, academic, entertainment, and political leaders. Billy Graham never took his secretary to lunch, either, since it would be both a bad witness and an unwise temptation for him to take any women not his wife out on any meeting or lunch.

It's just wisdom!

Of course, the wisdom of God is foolishness to fallen man.

The blowback against such hateful rhetoric was immediate and long-lasting. Meghan McCain slammed her co-host live and in person.

Toni Lahren, not necessarily the most outspoken of social conservatives, excoriated her:

One of the critics in the above segment believed that it was unwise to go after the The View's henpecking hatemongers. "Why go after her? She gets the ratings?" That kind of thinking reminds me of the Establishment GOP response to media shaming over the last 20 years. President Reagan talked past the media, and George W. Bush would ignore the media. This time, however, instead of ignoring the program, Christians around the country slammed the hosts, the producers, and the advertisers.

Not only that, but outspoken pastors like Robert Jeffress slammed her hateful comments directly and without reserve. She was not being funny, but definitively sharing her disdain for President Trump, his Vice President, and the cultural fabric on which this country is based:

Damage control ensued within a week after Behar's notorious remarks.

Initially, Whoopi Goldberg and company tried to justify those comments as playful banter. Joy Behar claimed that she was a Christian herself (whatever that means, but I find that hard to believe, honestly). Behar then went to great length to justify herself, and even claimed that she was the victim:

Meghan McCain called out the anti-tolerant hypocrisy of her liberal colleagues and liberals in general in the country. It is quite astonishing how much abuse and intolerance which conservatives, Christians, and other tradition-based activists face on many fronts. Of course, in signature fashion, Whoopi shut down McCain, disputing the charge that they are intolerant: another act of intolerance. Such self-righteous justification did not pass muster for the tens of thousands of Christians who called the producers and the advertisers, as well as the corporate heads for ABC/Disney.

The ABC leadership got antsy, as expected, and they compelled Behar to apologize to Vice President Mike Pence. To his further credit, Pence was satisfied with a private apology, but informed her that her remarks were not just offensive to him because of the personal attack, but had offended millions of Christians across the country.

His resolve for her to apologize to the entire Christian community across the country was novel, noble, and righteous. It reminds me of the same calculated outrage from Paul the Apostle after his wrongful imprisonment as a citizen Rome:

"But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out." (Acts 16:37)

I commend Vice President Pence for not letter Behar get away with a private apology. This kind of arrogant conduct has gone on unchallenged for decades. In the era of Trump, in which corporate media have been exposed for their partisan zealotry and bigotry, plus their unveiled disdain for Middle America, it was both wise and good for Pence to press Behar to issue a public apology.

And she did:

I loved hearing the following words come out of her mouth:

"I think Mike Pence is right."

WOW! Would anyone have ever expected this arrogant, narrow-minded, left-wing harpy to admit, to acknowledge that our conservative Christian Vice President was right about anything? She had to this time. I imagine she must have tried to choke on those words.

"I was raised to respect everyone's religious faith."

I won't challenge this remark. Perhaps her parents did indeed teach her to respect the religious beliefs of others. It's discouraging and amazing to what extend Hollywood drowns out this civil piety and replaced it with the echo chamber of self-righteous mockery. Behar's apology signals how weak corporate media have became, that they no longer get away with this elitist smugness.

"And I fell short of that. I sincerely apologize for what I said."

WOW! I just love hearing those words. It really is refreshing. These left-wing harpies have said incendiary things about Republicans, conservatives, Christians, Middle America, and hid behind the corporate protections of a fawning media and accomodationist political culture.

Thank God for Trump, and Thank God for Mike Pence. Their political resolve is paying off and blessing millions around the country. Now they have encouraged everyday Americans to challenge the media's statist, bigoted status quo. This latest cultural victory reminds of the stirring promises which all Christians receive because of Jesus and His Finished Work:

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." (Isaiah 54:17)

Success! Colorado MassResistance Kills Anti-Parent LGBT Bill

VICTORY: LGBT bill to allow children to “consent” to psychiatric therapy is stopped in Colorado Senate -- after hard-hitting pro-family testimony

MassResistance Colorado and others were outnumbered by bill’s supporters, but prevailed

Voted down in Senate committee 3-2

May 9, 2017

This MassResistance Colorado parent finished his unflinching testimony, and right afterwards the Senate Committee voted 3-2 to defeat the bill!

When pro-family people fight back hard and tell the truth fearlessly, they can derail the well-funded LGBT legislative agenda. We’ve shown that over and over again. This was one of those times.

A frightening bill that would allow children as young as 12 years old to “decide” they need psychiatric therapy – without their parents’ knowledge or consent – was stopped in the Colorado Senate on Monday, May 1. The 3-2 vote by in a Senate committee came after strong testimony at the public hearing by Colorado MassResistance and other pro-family activists against a torrent of emotional pleas by the bill’s proponents.

The bill, HB17-1320, had passed in the Colorado House of Representatives the previous week. Had it made it through the Senate committee, it would have gone to the Senate floor for a full vote.

A nightmare for families

As we recently reported, the bill would have allowed LGBT-allied “therapists” in school-based clinics to push vulnerable children to affirm and accept homosexual and transgender “identities” and behaviors as “normal,” among other things. Parents would not even be notified that this psychotherapy was being given to their children.

The thwarted plan had terrifying implications for parents and families. Children are emotionally defenseless and can easily be persuaded by adults that they need counseling “help” from unknown, agenda-driven mental health professionals. These therapists could diagnose and “treat” the children with whatever approach they chose, without knowing vital medical history or other information from parents, or being accountable to them.

The original version of the bill, filed on April 5, set the age of consent for outpatient psychotherapy to 10. But the bill’s supporters got nervous, and at the House Committee hearing they changed it to 12 to help it pass. 

Apparently it was expected that the bill would pass and become law. Therapists were already being placed in Colorado’s  school-based clinics, according to a MassResistance Colorado parent who researched it.

Proponents use “suicide prevention” as a lobbying tactic

The LGBT movement has been quietly but forcefully pushing these bills across the country for nearly a decade. They use “suicide prevention” as a lobbying tactic. They get local allied groups to come and give emotional “suicide attempt” testimonies. They try to persuade legislators that parents are a big part of the problem, and thus the children need “independence” from their interference.

They make their case as emotional as possible. It can be compelling to legislators, unfortunately, if not properly countered by good, solid pro-family testimony.

Left-wing activists attack hard during testimony

At the Senate committee public hearing, the bill’s proponents were well organized and their testimony was slick and well scripted.

Fourteen came to testify. They were from various Colorado left-wing social-work foundations  and suicide-prevention organizations, a transgender group, the University of Denver, and a Latino group. Besides activists, they included teenagers, a young child, and a liberal rabbi and a liberal psychologist.

The usual radical groups. This group, Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights, was lobbying hard for the bill. It is also a major advocate for school-based clinics in Colorado.

Most of their testimony included very emotional depictions of personal trauma and attempted suicide. But their overall strategy was to make parents seem like the “enemy” of their own children, or at least too incompetent to be allowed to decide.

They testified that “parents don’t have the resources or education to do what’s right” and “are not equipped to deal with children’s mental health needs.” Also, “parents are often the cause of their children’s stress,” and may likely be abusing their kids. Strangely, most of their testimony was not pertinent to the bill because it related to older teenagers and young adults.

An "anti-suicide" activist (standing) prepares to testify, as Sen. Stephen Fenberg, a sponsor of the bill, smiles at her. Fenberg later told the other Senators that he "doesn't get" the pro-family argument for parents rights.

One of the bill’s sponsors, a Senator, even testified that “parents don’t have the right to be the only ones” who direct their children’s counseling decisions – the State must be included.

Parents fight back even harder

Five pro-family people who came to testify – including two from Colorado MassResistance, a constitutional attorney, and representatives of Colorado Citizens Commission on Human Rights and Lutheran Family Services.  

They warned the Senators that the bill allowed for a dangerous overreach by mental health staff at schools. It virtually removed accountability for therapists (to parents or anyone else) and would lead to inappropriate testing, misdiagnoses, and bad treatment plans. It would certainly prompt lawsuits because of the bill’s dubious constitutionality, given the history of Supreme Court decisions favoring parental rights.

In particular, the MassResistance Colorado parents demanded that it’s vital that parents be involved for many reasons. A child is not competent to provide adequate mental health history or other important information. The child can’t competently decline therapy against the persuasive powers of a school clinic or choose a different venue and travel there. In fact, there is a conflict of interest between the clinic’s funding and the fact that the child can be a captive patient.

And there was guaranteed to be outrage over the presumption that parents don’t have the best interests of their own children at heart, or the competency to deal with their emotional problems.

The MassResistance Colorado parents also submitted a letter by Dr. Michelle Cretella, President of the American College of Pediatricians, against the bill. Dr. Cretella strongly advised the legislators that adolescents are not capable of making these kinds of judgments about their mental health and psychological therapy. It was the only actual medical opinion in the hearing.

The committee votes to kill the bill

Immediately after the testimony, one of the bill’s Senate sponsors, Sen. Stephen Fenberg, spoke up and made a disturbing remark dismissing the rights of parents. It reflected the arrogance of the bill’s proponents – and their anger that parents came and confronted this bill. Fenberg said, “In response to the parents’ rights argument, I don’t get it.” He believes that the state has just as much of a right to raise the children. He went on to describe one opponent’s testimony as “disgusting.”

Right after that,  the committee voted 3-2 to effectively kill the bill for this session. Needless to say, the bill’s proponents didn’t like the outcome at all. The parents – and common sense – had won!
