<p>Have you noticed how often President Biden talks about creating “good union jobs?” ; </p>



<p>He has often referred to himself as the “best friend labor has ever had.” ; Sadly, that is probably true. ; It may have to do with his age. ; Back then, the Democratic Party had a romantic view of organized labor that rose out of the New Deal era. ; (FYI: Biden was born three years before FDR died.)</p>



<p>Biden’s loyalty to ORGANIZED labor represents a general disinterest in the tens of millions of non-union workers – approximately 92 percent of the American labor force. ; Biden’s devotion to the labor bosses represents generations of bias against the average American worker.</p>



<p>And it is not a personal view. ; Biden is the personification of the very pro-organized labor that permeates the Democratic Party. ; It is an alliance based on power and money.</p>



<p>Because of longstanding Democrat policies, virtually all government contracts must be awarded to union contractors. ; That means all those lucrative over-priced government projects must go to companies that represent a small number of enterprises. ;</p>



<p> That means that bidding on government work excludes the vast majority of competent and competitive companies. ; That adds billions of ADDITIONAL dollars in costs paid by the American taxpayer. ; It is not only not fair, but also needlessly expensive. ; But that is how pro-labor Democrat policies work – picking winner and losers. ; </p>



<p>It also means that big labor gains disproportionate power – not from membership, many of whom disagree with the labor bosses’ political positions – but from enormous political contributions to the Democratic Party at all levels.</p>



<p>Part of the Democrat pro-union philosophy is to corrosively force workers into unions they would rather not join. ; That is why they so adamantly oppose Right-to-Work laws. ; That is why they cling to union requirements for government jobs. ; It is why they oppose school choice – since students would seek better education in non-union private and parochial schools.</p>



<p>While employees have a right to join a union, the Biden administration is quietly eliminating their right to disassociate from a union under the National Labor Relations Act</p>



<p>Biden and Democrats use their power to increase support for union bosses … union jobs. ; When offering tax breaks for the purchase of electric vehicles (a bad policy on its own), Biden proposes a kick-back of approximately $12,000 – except for Teslas. ; Purchasers of Elon Musk’s cars would only get around $8,000. ; Why the difference? ; Because only unionized manufacturers get the higher benefit – and Musk does not run a union shop.</p>



<p>The largest and most powerful unions have had the most damaging effects on the institutions they represent. ; The auto workers’ unions were among the most successful in gaining high wage and compensation for workers. ; The result is that American auto manufacturers could no longer compete with foreign cars – unless, of course, they started producing cars and auto components overseas. ; Excessive union demands literally destroyed the American auto industry.</p>



<p>If you look at the exorbitant cost of public primary and secondary education – despite the poor results in urban segregated communities &#8212; you see the tragic influence of an unholy alliance between the school unions and the Democratic Party.</p>



<p>When Biden calls for “good union jobs,” he is suggesting that all those other jobs – your jobs &#8212; are not good – or at least not as good. ; The entire issue of unionism and government needs to be re-evaluated and put into a rational balance. ; The Democrats’ use of government to benefit unions that represent only eight percent of the workers at the expense of 92 percent is simply wrong.</p>



<p>And the first place to start is at the Department of Labor. ; Currently, it is viewed as the political fiefdom of the union bosses – who must have an ally as Secretary. ; It must serve the interests of the unions. ; ;</p>



<p>We should either change that reality or rename it the Department of ORGANIZED Labor.</p>



<p>So, there tis.</p>

Biden only interested in union bosses
