Michigan Carpenters’ Union Constructing a Fake Dispute [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters is no longer playing by these rules.
Since last summer, the union has been organizing demonstrations against an employer that MRCC members do not work for — supposedly on behalf of construction workers that the union does not represent — and using demonstrators who are not employees of the company being targeted.
Indeed, the demonstrators are frequently not MRCC members either, nor even construction workers at all.
Welcome to “bannering,” a new method being deployed by Big Labor bosses who wish to continue exerting their influence over a marketplace where employers, customers and workers have turned sharply against using union labor."

Does Egypt Miss Dubya? Misunderestimating Democracy’s Appeal
Does Egypt Miss Dubya? Misunderestimating Democracy’s Appeal
"When Barack Obama first ran for the White House, a key argument he made was that he could “heal” America’s battered image in the eyes of the world, especially with Arabs, in the wake of the occupation of Iraq and other Bush administration policies.
In June 2009, he gave a much ballyhooed speech in Cairo that the White House dubbed a “new beginning.”
Despite this new beginning, the administration has been largely on the sidelines during the tumult in Egypt, little able to affect or even stay ahead of the events.
One reason may be that the U.S. is actually less popular in Egypt today than it was during the Bush years"

Public-Sector Unions Fight to Keep Bloated Benefits
Public-Sector Unions Fight to Keep Bloated Benefits [Mackinac Center]
"Between Gov. Rick Snyder’s call for a substantial business tax cut and a $1.8 billion state overspending budget gap, lawmakers are looking for places to save.
.....However, the unions rely on data from allies in academia and government who often look only at salaries when comparing private- and public-sector compensation.
In fact, it’s skyrocketing public-sector fringe benefits that are behind much of the disparity.
“Total compensation” properly includes benefits like paid leave, retirement contributions, health insurance and more.
In each of these, public-sector benefits tend to be far more generous"

When Chaos Hits, The Most Organized
Welcome to BlogsLucianneLoves.com
"In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, an avowed enemy of Israel, will win power, at least for a while (and a while might be 10-20 years).
It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone with a little sense of history.
Russia in 1917 is the prime example.
Alexander Kerensky futile attempts to ease the vast the Russian Empire into a functioning democracy was stomped on by the much smaller, more organized and, I cannot overstate this, vicious Bolsheviks of Lenin and Trotsky."
