Kennedy, Dashole try every trick in the book to sneak through a bill to Federally mandate that all emergency personnel belong to a union. It would make the lives of the socialist statists so much easier if the American people would just accept their agenda instead of fighting them every step of the way.
For months now, union bosses - with help from Senators Ted Kennedy and Tom Daschle - have been relentless in their attempts to force every police officer, firefighter, and EMT in the country under Big Labor's monopoly control.

Just two days after the terrorist attacks last September, Sen. Ted Kennedy (D., Mass.) and his Labor Committee sneaked the misnamed "Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act" (S. 952/H.R. 1475) onto the Senate floor without so much as a recorded vote. This outrageous bill would force every policeman, firefighter, and emergency worker in the country to either submit to union-boss control - or be fired.
Just a few nights after that, Kennedy waited until nearly every other senator had gone home for the evening and tried to pass the legislation by "unanimous consent." Another senator intervened just in time to stop Kennedy, but the union bosses' congressional allies weren't through yet.
When the Senate debated a major appropriations bill just a few weeks later, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D., S.D.) tried to add S. 952 as an amendment. Daschle's more freedom-loving colleagues managed to stop his scheme with a filibuster, but it was a very close call.
Unbelievably, Senators Daschle and Kennedy aren't finished yet. They told militant union bosses to force the legislation through the House first, then come back through the Senate. And thanks to their usual strong-armed tactics on Capitol Hill, they believe they can get the necessary votes to overturn a potential presidential veto.
