Unions Put Selves Ahead of 'Saving Planet'

Now wait a minute. Aren't unions on the side of good and light? I men, they sure pal around with leftists enough to make the claim, right? And the left certainly claims that unions are part-and-parcel to their whole package of policies for what is best for America, for sure. So, one would have to assume that unions are on the side of the fringe enviro movement pushing all these green initiatives, right?

Not so fast. It seems the only real green anything that unions are interested in have pictures of presidents on them; cash!

Check out this little story in The New York Times, for instance. It seems that unions are all for solar power projects... unless they are being built at lower costs to government and being built by non-union labor.

Notice how quiet unions have been during this past year even though current events dictate they should be whining to the media every day?

The fix is in. Has been for awhile. And they’ve been told, “Shut up and keep quiet and the big payoff is in your grasp.” The Democrat Party is very afraid that if the unions were out with their regular propaganda they would say something stupid and ruin it for everyone.
