The Times of India reports that “hundreds of teachers” marched on the home of a school director recently, protesting various policies. According to the paper, after the “agitating teachers” of the Punjabe Government Teachers Union broke through barricades, “police resorted to mild lathicharge” to control the group.

FEAR & SMEAR
The anti-Wal-Mart goons over at WakeUpWalMart.com have launched a new attack against the non-union retail giant. The group did a “study” which purportedly shows that police calls are higher at Wal-Mart than at Target stores in certain communities.

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has been busy lately trying to retain its right to represent employees at a hospital in Las Vegas. The executive director of Local 1107, Jane McAlevey, has been especially aggressive in trying to keep the staff at the Desert Springs Hospital and Medical Center from de-certifying the union. And just to give you an idea of the mentality and “goonishness” of these gutter-mouthed unionistas, take a look at this first-hand report from a hospital staffer about an incident this week involving Ms. McAlevey - who had to be physically removed from the hospital grounds. (Some names have been withheld to protect hospital personnel from union retaliation. Broken windshields and slashed tires are expensive to replace)…

FIGHTING BACK
Today, Fox News Channel began airing a new commercial by the Center for Union Facts (CUF), which highlights the abuse of union members by labor leaders. The script reads:
Male Voice Over: What do you love about your union?
Young Woman Cashier: You know what I love? Paying union dues, just so I can keep my job.
Middle-Aged Male Factory Worker: I think it’s great that my union dues are going to politicians I don’t even like.
African-American Construction Worker: I really like how the union discriminates against minorities.
Middle-Aged Waitress: Nothing makes me feel better than knowing that I’m supporting their fat-cat lifestyles.
Voice Over: Corruption. Discrimination. Politics. And forced dues. Find out the facts about union officials at unionfacts.com
Group of Workers Together: Thanks, union bosses.

Desperate to stem the continued migration of private sector workers away from labor unions, the political-style campaign against Wal Mart waged by a coalition of labor unions continues, garnering an increasing level of attention from the press.
“Our opponents have organized the likes of a political campaign against us,” Wal Mart vice president of corporate affairs Bob McAdam told the Associated Press’ Ron Fournier in a story that ran in papers across the country today.
