| NJECPAC Chairman Joe Coviello on steps to U.S. Supreme Court |
Labor Unions were dealt another blow yesterday by the Supreme Court in a ruling that stated that unions must inform their members of the intended use of dues assessments in particular when they are used for political activities providing an employee the opportunity to opt out.
We have seen the failure of the unions’ in the Wisconsin recall attempt, Failure when a Federal Judge shot down the NLRB's mandatory posting requirement, and another Federal Judge shot down the NLRB's Micro Election rule which if implemented would allow unions to organize portions of a company, for example, in the construction industry Apprentices could be organized without organizing the rest of a company.
Labor groups in Michigan are attempting to get a state amendment placed on the November ballot designed to guarantee the right to collective-bargaining for government and private-sector workers. If this is defeated in Michigan, one of the most unionized states in the country, 49 other other states could move to bring unions under control there, too.

The labor movement itself is stumbling forward, trying to find scapegoats while licking their wounds and clambering to stop their losses. Some steps that unions are taking are changing their leadership, mergers, and signing up the unemployed.
Meanwhile, Big Labor will continue to point to “union-busters” as the cause of all their problems, rather than their lack of relevance in meeting the needs of today’s employees or the fact that they are killing the companies they organize.
