Near Midnight on Thursday past, Nancy Pelosi and her big labor friends in the US House of Rep. disgracefully amended pending war funding legislation to include the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill
It was no accident or last minute decision. You see, we have been informed that the Union label House leadership had just one day before met behind closed doors with Big Labor's high command, including AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, AFSCME President Gerald McEntee,CWA President Larry Cohen, and IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger.
Knowing in the wide spread opposition to their union boss power grab, the union barons demanded their allies in the House sneak the dangerous bill into a "must pass vehicle." Nancy Pelosi was happy to oblige her Big Labor masters.
As you know, the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been itching to ram through this bill for weeks, but your action delayed his efforts before the Senate adjourned for Independence Day.
And now the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining has made it through the House [albeit through desperate tactics, the battle in the Senate will be more crucial than ever.
Thank you for everything you have done in this fight so far. Your support could very well make the difference. Doug Stafford, vice president, National Right to Work Committee.
