Freakin’ hilarious and so typical
By Bruce McQuain
What we all know about liberals is they’re big on “talking the talk”, but when it comes to “walking the walk”, yeah, not so much.
On April 10th, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) filed the forms with the National Labor Relations Board to hold an election to unionize 50 employees working for the George Soros-funded progressive media watchdog, Media Matters for America (MMFA). In response, Media Matters has hired a high priced law firm with experience combating unions to represent the company, indicating that the pro-union MMFA is fighting the action.
Oh, yeah, that’s right … union touting and supporting MMFA isn’t about to let the SEIU (who has donated to MMFA in the past) unionize their shop. Nope. Because, well, unions are bad?
If what the law firm they’ve hired has written about their services is any indication of MMFA’s stance on the subject, then yes, union’s are bad:
Whether directly negotiating collective bargaining agreements, developing strike contingency plans or defending unfair labor practice proceedings, Perkins Coie Labor & Employment attorneys provide employers with decades of experience managing traditional labor law issues. We have been at the bargaining table for some of the largest union employers in the United States and regularly appear before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and in state and federal court on behalf of employers of all sizes. Our depth of employment litigation experience contributes to cost-effective representation in arbitrations under collective bargaining agreements.
As the Obama NLRB continues to issue union-friendly decisions, we understand the attendant challenges that employers face in developing and maintaining productive employee relations and economic sustainability.
So, now that MMFA has “lawyered up” and is fighting tooth and nail against something it advocates and claims it supports elsewhere, what should we conclude about MMFA?
Yup, as with most of the left, they’re the epitome of hypocrisy. The Dons of “do as I say, not as I do”.
Because you’re the “little people” and they’re our “betters”. And we should remember that the elite always know what’s best for the little people, even if they personally want no part of what they prescribe for us.
Truth Revolt lays out a nice little synopsis for us:
- SEIU ?(a group of left-wing bullies) has donated to MMfA ?(a group of left-wing bullies) to utilize their bullying tactics against media outlets that challenge union interests
- MMfA employees want SEIU representation to help them gain better pay and work conditions
- MMfA is resisting the move and has forbidden open voting or “card check,” something they’ve advocated for in the past
- SEIU is now trying to publicly shame MMfA (a tactic MMfA uses to silence their opponents) by using MoveOn.org (a group of left-wing bullies) to host a petition
You just can’t make this stuff up.
