There isn’t a whole lot on their page but the Union Conservatives are operating in something like 35 states now. They helped with the language of the right to work law here in Michigan which made it unstoppable.

Bowman himself testified against the UAW over political fundraising on capitol hill. Just today he announced that he was seriously considering a run for congress against John Dingell as a republican.

The NLRB will step in and find something wrong with the way the election was conducted.

The life blood of the Democrat party is union dues.

If you look around the Internet for example in the Washington Post, you’ll see articles that were prewritten before the vote that assumed the vote would go for the union

Thanks for that info-I sent them an e-mail asking if they have anything here in Alaska. My workplace recently tried to de-certify the Teamsters and our petition was denied by the NLRB (surprise, surprise.)

The UAW made auto workers some of the best compensated employees in US industry. It wasn’t sustainable, but it was easy to see the attraction.

That should be a lesson model for all liberal programs....as they are ALL unsustainable.

My neighbor is a union steward and he’s a member of the Union Conservatives.
