Mashke has given up about $100 this year, and while she says it's not a huge amount of money, she's among a small group of home-based providers suing in federal court to break free from organized labor . . . The lawsuit, filed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, claims that Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat, and her administration cleared the way for the union in exchange for valuable political support from the UAW and AFSCME." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/09/13/mich-child-care-workers-sue-to-break-from-union/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/01/pieces-of-eight-the-constitution-and-the-dollar/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/01/pieces-of-eight-the-constitution-and-the-dollar/#comments Tue, 01 Jun 2010 17:36:03 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/01/pieces-of-eight-the-constitution-and-the-dollar/ Wall Street Journal full access via Google:  "Vieira believes the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional on, among other points, the same grounds that FDR's National Recovery Administration was found unconstitutional—namely that Congress had delegated too much of its own law-making responsibilities. He is less harsh toward Fed officials. 'I don't basically attribute either greed, stupidity or evil to these people,' who are 'caught up in this extraordinarily difficult position,' he says. But Mr. Vieira believes the federal government has gone way past what would have been red lines for the Founders—and that we are now in a 'race against time' over 'which happens first, the crisis or the reform.' He finds himself in an isolated spot. Those who want to secede from the Union don't call him, he says, because "I'm against secession.' Nor do the paper money people, because 'I point out that paper money is absolutely unconstitutional." The gold standard people don't call, "because I point out that the constitutional standard is silver.'" ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/06/01/pieces-of-eight-the-constitution-and-the-dollar/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/09/23/nurse-hits-union-brass-with-unfair-labor-practice-charges-for-illegal-forced-dues-scheme/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/09/23/nurse-hits-union-brass-with-unfair-labor-practice-charges-for-illegal-forced-dues-scheme/#comments Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:26:35 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=36941 National Right to Work Foundation, a Kent Hospital nurse has filed federal unfair labor practice charges against a local nursing union for illegally attempting to coerce her and other employees into formal, full-dues paying membership." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/09/23/nurse-hits-union-brass-with-unfair-labor-practice-charges-for-illegal-forced-dues-scheme/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/08/12/right-to-work-states-arent-safe-if-card-check-forced-unionism-passes/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/08/12/right-to-work-states-arent-safe-if-card-check-forced-unionism-passes/#comments Wed, 12 Aug 2009 16:49:38 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=32798 National Right to Work Foundation: "Union bosses are trying to downplay the impact of their 'Card Check Forced Unionism' legislation in Right to Work states. While Right to Work laws are critical in protecting employees from forced union dues and in creating jobs and a higher standard of living, the fact is they do not deter coercive union organizing and other types of union abuse. The National Right to Work Foundation has released a short backgrounder on this topic, which is now available for download here." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/08/12/right-to-work-states-arent-safe-if-card-check-forced-unionism-passes/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/06/23/6th-circuit-title-vii-religious-objection-to-union-support-fails/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/06/23/6th-circuit-title-vii-religious-objection-to-union-support-fails/#comments Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:58:13 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=27982 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/06/23/6th-circuit-title-vii-religious-objection-to-union-support-fails/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/04/29/right-to-work-foundation-files-lawsuit-for-nonunion-worker-forced-to-pay-teamster-dues/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/04/29/right-to-work-foundation-files-lawsuit-for-nonunion-worker-forced-to-pay-teamster-dues/#comments Wed, 29 Apr 2009 23:04:08 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=22786 National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation: "National Right to Work Foundation attorneys today filed suit in United States District Court for an employee forced to pay agency fees by Teamsters officials at a Luzerne County government office." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/04/29/right-to-work-foundation-files-lawsuit-for-nonunion-worker-forced-to-pay-teamster-dues/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/01/30/president-obama-sets-stage-for-blacklisting-of-non-union-employees-wanting-to-work-on-federal-contracts/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/01/30/president-obama-sets-stage-for-blacklisting-of-non-union-employees-wanting-to-work-on-federal-contracts/#comments Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:43:43 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=14207 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/01/30/president-obama-sets-stage-for-blacklisting-of-non-union-employees-wanting-to-work-on-federal-contracts/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/12/17/washington-state-appeals-court-upholds-teachers%e2%80%99-right-to-restitution-for-dues-illegally-spent-by-wea-union-officials/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/12/17/washington-state-appeals-court-upholds-teachers%e2%80%99-right-to-restitution-for-dues-illegally-spent-by-wea-union-officials/#comments Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:07:32 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=10752 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/12/17/washington-state-appeals-court-upholds-teachers%e2%80%99-right-to-restitution-for-dues-illegally-spent-by-wea-union-officials/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/12/04/ohio-teacher-sues-national-education-association-union-for-pro-abortion-dues/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/12/04/ohio-teacher-sues-national-education-association-union-for-pro-abortion-dues/#comments Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:32:47 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=9978 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/12/04/ohio-teacher-sues-national-education-association-union-for-pro-abortion-dues/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/09/09/utah%e2%80%99s-regulation-of-issue-advocacy-and-multipurpose-organizations-ruled-unconstitutional/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/09/09/utah%e2%80%99s-regulation-of-issue-advocacy-and-multipurpose-organizations-ruled-unconstitutional/#comments Tue, 09 Sep 2008 18:51:04 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=7352 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/09/09/utah%e2%80%99s-regulation-of-issue-advocacy-and-multipurpose-organizations-ruled-unconstitutional/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/07/28/docking-paychecks-for-politics/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/07/28/docking-paychecks-for-politics/#comments Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:18:04 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=6197 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/07/28/docking-paychecks-for-politics/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/03/12/nea-donates-millions-to-left-leaning-political-groups-teachers-can-opt-out/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/03/12/nea-donates-millions-to-left-leaning-political-groups-teachers-can-opt-out/#comments Wed, 12 Mar 2008 19:27:29 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/03/12/nea-donates-millions-to-left-leaning-political-groups-teachers-can-opt-out/ ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/03/12/nea-donates-millions-to-left-leaning-political-groups-teachers-can-opt-out/feed/ 1 http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/02/19/supreme-court-agrees-to-coerced-fees-labor-union-dispute/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/02/19/supreme-court-agrees-to-coerced-fees-labor-union-dispute/#comments Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:54:00 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/adf.php/2008/02/19/supreme-court-agrees-to-coerced-fees-labor-union-dispute/ ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2008/02/19/supreme-court-agrees-to-coerced-fees-labor-union-dispute/feed/ 0
