U.S. signed agreement with Mexico to teach immigrants to unionize
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/30/15 | Sean Higgins

Posted on 03/30/2015 5:43:27 PM PDT by Libloather

The federal government has signed agreements with three foreign countries — Mexico, Ecuador and the Philippines — to establish outreach programs to teach immigrants their rights to engage in labor organizing in the U.S.

The agreements do not distinguish between those who entered legally or illegally. They are part of a broader effort by the National Labor Relations Board to get immigrants involved in union activism.

The five-member board is the agency that enforces the National Labor Relations Act, the main federal law covering unions. In 2013, Lafe Solomon, the board's then-acting general counsel, signed a "memorandum of understanding" with Mexico's U.S. ambassador. The current general counsel, Richard Griffin, signed additional agreements with the ambassadors of Ecuador and the Philippines last year.

RUSH: The Washington Examiner. Headline says it all. "US Signed Agreement With Mexico to Teach Immigrants to Unionize -- The federal government has signed agreements with three foreign countries -- Mexico, Ecuador and the Philippines -- to establish outreach programs to teach immigrants their rights to engage in labor organizing in the US. The agreements do not distinguish between those who entered legally or illegally. They are part of a broader effort by the National Labor Relations Board to get immigrants involved in union activism.

Well, here you have crony socialism, I guess, at its finest. This is what you get when unions buy the presidency. This is exactly what you get when union money buys the presidency. These people are not coming here to join unions. They are coming -- we're told, anyway -- that they are coming here to be the best they can be. They're coming here to exercise freedom and liberty, which is being denied them in their home countries. They're coming here to branch out and to blossom, and instead the federal government, "No, no, no, no, we can't have any of that. We're gonna teach these people how to unionize. We're gonna teach 'em how to join a union. We're gonna teach 'em how to think like a union member does. We're gonna teach 'em how to vote like a union member does, and we're gonna get them conditioned to paying dues to the Democrat Party." That's what the federal government's doing. Mexico, Ecuador, and the Philippines.

Well it appears it’s the SEIU and not the USCofC that pulls the strings in Casablanca.

Sooooo .. we find out the real purpose of “amnesty” .. to restock the unions.

Why ..?? BECAUSE TOO MANY AMERICAN WORKERS HAVE DISCOVERED WHAT A SCAM IT IS AND HAVE MANAGED TO VOTE TO GET RID OF UNIONS.

I hope the Hispanic people are smarter than the DemocRATS give them credit for.

So - the State, represented by the democrat party (and nominally by the GOP) is using taxpayer money to grow a voter base overseas which will eventually be imported to participate in sham elections in order to perpetuate the State's hold on power.

All at the expense of native taxpaying voters.

This should get people up in arms literally. If this won't nothing will.

My money is on 'nothing will'.

Just like when they help elect all those Latino Republicans in California and Texas?

That said, if Cruz could lose the Hispanic vote (he won't win it) by a smaller margin than Romney did, it would be quite useful to him.

Mexico, Ecuador and the Philippines

Catholic immigrants and unionism, the story of America since about 1850.

This is the left’s greatest fear and I believe they are looking for anything to make him unappealing to them. I think the first tactic will be to show the differences between Cruz and south of the border Latinos; namely Cruz grew up as a “white” privilegec Hispanic in America who knows nothing about the “brown” Latino lifestyle and thir struggles. Of course I think Cruz knows this will be one of their strategies and is already on top of it and ready to counter it because he knows how the left loves to label and polarize their enemies.

“This is the left’s greatest fear and I believe they are looking for anything to make him unappealing to them.”

Yep....they will try anything.

Thank God Cruz is smarter, and probably far more shrewd than the scum of (both) parties who would do him in.

The unions are all for amnesty, which doesn’t make sense for citizen workers. I don’t know why current union members go along with it. Now I see this.

The board has said the law’s protections for workers engaged in union organizing extend even to people who are not legally authorized to work in the U.S. An employer who fires an illegal immigrant worker — which is required under federal immigration law — can be sanctioned by the board if it decides the worker’s union activism was the real reason for the dismissal.

In the documents, the countries’ foreign consulates agree to help locate foreign nationals living in the U.S. “who might aid the NLRB in investigations, trials or compliance matters” involving businesses and to develop a system for the consulates to refer complaints from foreign workers to the board’s regional offices.
