It's no wonder so many union members
are uninformed and misinformed; every day I see union propaganda that fails to
get basic facts correct when messaging to their members.
They mislead and fail to inform
members of their rights; but worse than that, they trick members out of their
rights altogether.
When it comes to controlling members
through fear, that is organized labors specialty. They tell members they are on the verge
of losing their benefits and that "radical extremists want to roll back
their gains."
Fear-mongering falsehoods
Several unions have been lying to
their members in hopes of scaring them away from learning the truth. They are
telling their members that the Freedom
Foundation "has fought to take away their wage increases, retirement
plan, and health benefits" FALSE.
Unions are telling their members
that the Freedom Foundation is trying to access their personal information and
is bullying and harassing providers. FALSE!
The Freedom Foundation is trying to
access public information to educate union members about their constitutional
rights. The union, on the other hand, is using its members’ dues to sue in
desperation to keep its members from learning their rights.
If all the union did was up-talk themselves and provide quality representation to win over support while respecting people’s rights, I can’t imagine anyone would mind.
The Freedom Foundation is not trying to "sell anything at the door," that is what the union does. The Freedom Foundation is only trying to inform people of their rights.
The union attempts to enter the
homes of those they solicit while the Freedom Foundation does not enter anyone’s
homes. Instead of trying to push hard sales, the Freedom Foundation simply
wants to make sure health care, child care, and teachers are aware of their
rights.
I receive calls every day from
people who are being harassed by the union. Here are some excerpts from one today.
(Keeping names anonymous to protect the member)
“I
have been receiving threatening emails from SEIU 775.”
“SEIU has been trying to contact me almost every day now. I have received a letter from them stating that I cannot opt out because I verbally agreed over the phone to pay union dues for another year. Of course, that is false. They called me on the pretense of raising my life Insurance and asked for a verbal yes to that. Never did they say anything about union dues. I called them on it, and she acknowledged that maybe it might have happened. I could not believe she admitted this.”
Here are some more quotes I’ve gotten:
“They pray on her disability”
“It's people like me they bully”
“They are taking advantage of crippled blind kids”
“They make you sign up over the phone, it’s not a choice”
“They came to my house and thrashed me”
“You better not call the Freedom Foundation”
“You need to shut your mouth”
“They called me, and then they came to my house. I felt
like I was being harassed”
“They are already taking my money, why won’t they leave me
alone”
“I was intimidated”
“They use coercion”
“I felt threatened”
“They are underhanded”
“Can’t depend on them”
“We don’t trust them”
“They use our money against us”
“They are overwhelming us with nonstop emails and mail,
they won’t leave us alone”
"When I objected and said I
didn’t want to give hundreds of dollars of my money to the union, the union
told me to be quiet and stop causing a ruckus,” Rosetta said.
“They lied to me,” she said.
The more I learn about these unions,
the more I talk to victims of these unions, the more frustrated I get with
them. It makes me wonder how anyone can justify the gains they are getting in
light of the lies and oppression they are facilitating.
I have no problem with people organizing,
it’s our 1st amendment right! I have a problem with liars who exploit
and manipulate people using fear psychology and hateful inaccurate rhetoric.
Shame on SEIU, WEA and WFSE/AFSCME,
you are truly disgraceful and scandalous.
