Recently,
the “Fight for Fifteen” demonstrations at McDonald’s and Wal-Mart stores across
the country have sparked empathy in the news coverage by the main stream media.
The liberal coverage of these outlets portrays employees as being taken
advantage of and in need of increased wages and benefits. As with most things in
life, it is prudent to do the research to make sure we have all the facts, and
that they are presented honestly and concisely. It is imperative we don’t rely
on our political leanings and that we not have the proverbial “wool pulled over
our eyes.” Every American, should re-check the position or “window” from which
they the view things, as succinctly demonstrated in the
following.
The
Window from Which We Look
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean", she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap." Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.

About
one month later, the woman was surprised to see a
nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband,"Look, she has learned how
to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."
The
husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our
windows."
And
so it is with life. What we see when watching others it depends on the purity of
the window through which we look!
“Fight
for Fifteen” and the so called “Work Centers” that are championing this cause —
providing their own version of training and assistance — are nothing more than
union fronts where Union Bosses Use Fast-Food Workers
For Personal Gain. Unions are pouring millions of dollars into
these “Work Centers” as a method of unionizing the fast food workers across
America! It is unfortunate and despicable that The SEIU’s Support for Wage Hikes
are based on Self Interests and that these Protest Organizers Pay Consulting
Fees, however, even more astonishing is that the SEIU has funneled $15 million into
the Fight for $15 campaign! This sleight of hand by the SEIU and
other unions demands that we check the purity of the window from which we view
the true intentions of these unions and this Administration. Even some of the
union members are cleaning windows as demonstrated in Union Members Are Getting Tired of
the Anti-Walmart Campaigns.
Essentially,
these worker centers are union branches. Labor Unions are organized as 501(c)(5)
entities, and as 501(c)(5) entities they cannot receive tax-deductible
contributions. However, many Worker Centers are organized as 501(c)(3)
charities, which means they can receive tax-deductible donations and they are
not accountable to the workers they claim to represent.
In
other words, they are conduits for labor unions in disguise. They provide the
labor unions with benefits which they could not otherwise independently receive.
Labor unions are a dying breed, they are nothing more than Gasping Dinosaurs
trying to avoid extinction, and the worker centers are
proof!
Another
benefit to the “Fight for Fifteen” demonstrations is that they serve to Deflect Attention
from the Rogue NLRB and its
attempt to establish Card Check through Regulation vs.
Legislation with the new ambush election law, designed by this
Administration to allow unions to rapidly force unionize employees and employers
across the country, further described in Reprise: Beware
the Ambush! It is nothing more than a payback to the union bosses
for political contributions and votes!
The
bottom line is, while America's top labor union bosses raked in millions in
2014 for their own pockets and to press their political agendas,
it has become apparent that Millennials don’t want to join
unions! They are waking up to the fact that Labor Unions’ True Motivation
comes from the Dues Money. Union bosses want to line their own
pockets and promote their political agendas! Subsequently, union bosses are
waking up to Why 78 Million Millennials Are
Choosing Non-Union Jobs and are desperate to invent ways to force
unionize them in order to survive, which is what the “Fight for Fifteen” is
truly all about!
It
is time for all Americans to wake up and see big labor’s intentions through a
crystal clear window and not through distorted, long held political viewpoints
or beliefs. Big labor and its claims are all about perception not reality! They
could care less about these employees! When Will Congress and the Main
Stream Media Wake Up and unmask this misperception and protect
the freedoms of all Americans from this Administration and the SEIU's Persuasion of
Power?
