The latest Federal effort to undermine America

STOP UNION CONTROL OF POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS by Lee S. Gliddon, Jr. on Jun 3rd, 2010
The union bosses are counting on their handpicked leader — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — to deliver. What Big Labor wants is simple but frightening: monopoly control over every public safety worker in the country. And now, with control of the White House to go along with large majorities in Congress, the union bosses believe their time has come.
That’s why it’s vital you sign the petition to your Senators IMMEDIATELY.
You see, Big Labor’s politicians in Washington are primed and ready to ram the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill (S.1394) through Congress NOW.In fact, the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill has already been introduced, and could come up for a vote within weeks... the Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill is designed to FORCE every firefighter and police officer in the country under union boss control — and is just the first step toward forcing ALL state and local public employees under Big Labor’s thumb. The truth is, passage of this Big Labor power grab would mean:
*** State and local governments — who are already experiencing budget shortfalls during these troubled economic times — will be forced to pay the salaries and perks of union bosses.
*** Small communities that depend on volunteer police and firefighters for their safety will be forced to do without them.Or, communities will have to deal with mammoth tax hikes to pay for union boss-controlled public safety workers.
*** The Police and Firefighter Monopoly Bargaining Bill will do nothing to stop crime or make our communities safer.On the contrary, forcing police and firefighters under the control of power-mad union bosses tends to drive many of the best men and women out of their jobs.Big Labor’s dangerous scheme is designed to impose union monopoly bargaining on all state, county and local public safety workers.
That means that no matter what your state and local officials say, every police officer and firefighter in every town and city in the whole country will ultimately be handed over to union boss control.And if your town won’t go along with that, the Federal Government will step in and turn over your first responders to Big Labor anyway.
And, of course, history shows us police and firefighter monopoly bargaining has all too often led to strikes.
Violent. Destructive.Bloody.This legislation would pit honest taxpayers like you against the very people you count on to protect you.
When your police are ordered out on strike, who will defend your home and loved ones?
When union militants set up picket lines around fire stations, who will put out the fires?
