>>The history of labor unions in the United States is filled with corrupt bosses with Communist influences from the days of the Wobblies (IWW) to the present. <<

I’ve shared this before; but it bears repeating. In 1948-49, my dad ran for President of his local of the restaurant union in NYC. He lost by 10 votes; but when all the votes, the total exceeded membership by 15 votes. A complaint to NLRB escalated into an FBI investigation and visits to our abode. My dad’s cooperation and work for the FBI netted 10 officials who were Communists and their trial ended in deportation.

My dad’s “reward” was a three-year blackball from EVERY restaurant in NYC. We continued to receive visits from the FBI into the mid-50’s, even after we moved to FL. Dad died last month; he would have been 93 come March 14. He died an unsung hero, except for his sons.

Sounds like they missed a few.

Communists, that is. And maybe more than a "few".

Just imagine how many communist thugs there are today. You cannot walk down the street without bumping into one.

It’s so bad that there is a 0% chance of restoring our freedoms without using brute force.
