THE UNION LABEL

Union Rep Helps Illegals Escape Federal Detection

October 4, 2007 - 9:36 am - Posted by WTH

A Federal judge has refused to dismiss charges against an Iowa UF&CW union rep who was arrested and accused of helping illegal workers keep from being detected by Federal immigration officials.

The DesMoines Register reports that Braulio Pereyra-Gabino will stand trial for, “advising workers in the United States illegally of how to avoid detection and arrest,” and that “prosecutors say he did so in orientation speeches he gave to new Spanish-speaking employees.”

An immigration agent recorded a version of the speech Aug. 22, 2006, according to court documents.

Pereyra-Gabino is charged with a single count of shielding from detection and attempting to shield from detection undocumented immigrants at the Marshalltown meatpacking plant from June 2003 until he was arrested.

This story goes to show that Unions are not only out to defraud American business, but that they are aiding and abetting illegal immigrants in order to gain more members. And it is not a leap to realize that these additional members will be paying millions to aid the Democrat Party with their dues and that unions are materially supporting the Democrat Party with illicit money stolen from illegal immigrants.

Welcome to the post American world of the left.

Unions Picketing in Virtual Reality on the Web?

October 2, 2007 - 8:59 am - Posted by WTH

Well, here is an interesting tale. Apparently IBM workers in Italy have started walking a picket line for workers upset over job benefits. Not unusual, you say? Well this picket line is being walked by animated, virtual characters in an on-line game called “Second Life.”

It’s a pretty silly exercise that won’t get much notice by anyone in the real world, of course. After all, the whole point of a picket line is an in-your-face, annoyance to regular folk who just happen to be inconvenienced by union thugs walking the streets. On the internet, all one need do to avoid them is just not click there!

That being said, it is an interesting thing to see. A virtual protest! Certainly a new experience.

Now here is the hilarious part. UnionFacts.com added their own character to the picket line intruding on the socialists and whiners picketing their company!

For those of you unaware, UnionFacts.com is an anti-union organization that informs the public on a daily basis of the evils unions do.

So, the folks at UnionFacts.com on their LaborPains.org blog crashed the picket line and went in with their giant sign advertising UnionFacts.com and exhorting all the slackers to get back to work and quit whining!

Absolutely hilarious!
