Unions

Some union leaders are self-destructive idiots.

America’s ports have fallen behind. Not a single one ranks in the top 50 worldwide. A big reason is that dock unions stop innovation. This fall, the International Longshoremen’s Association shut down East and Gulf coast ports, striking for a raise and a ban on automation. They got the raise. Now union president Harold Daggett says…

The White House press briefing returned Thursday for the first time in eight days and, along with questions about the zero interactions between the press and outgoing President Biden during his six-day trip to South America, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre embarrassed herself with meandering, stumbling answers about both her successor Karoline Leavitt in the second Trump administration and…

On Thursday’s PBS News Hour, anchor Geoff Bennett seemed bugged that the large and influential Teamsters union (representing truckers) wasn’t falling in line with other unions and endorsing the liberal Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz: "So you said one of the reasons why the Teamsters are withholding an endorsement is because neither candidate was able to make serious…

ABC continued to show its virulent hatred and bias toward former President Trump on Wednesday’s World News Tonight and Thursday’s Good Morning America as, along with CBS’s respective shows (CBS Evening News and CBS Mornings) and NBC’s Today, they’ve refused to tell their viewers about a poll of Teamsters rank-and-file members showing nearly 60…

On Friday, Media Research Center Founder and President Brent Bozell sent a letter to CBS and CBS News lambasting the Tiffany Network for their troubling and unprecedented decision to seize the files of correspondent Catherine Herridge – including notes and files that contain sensitive information and government sources – upon her sudden firing as part of layoffs from parent company Paramount…

The fact that a union endorsed a Democrat is not exactly Earth-shattering news, but that didn’t stop Friday PBS NewsHour anchor Amna Nawaz from trying to claim that is as she hailed President Joe Biden’s allegedly “objectively good week.”

Is water wet? Is the sky blue? What’s the logo of Target? These questions all seem obvious, but the question of who would receive the 2024 presidential endorsement of the far-left United Auto Workers was big news for the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. As such, they marveled at the “powerful” union’s “big endorsement” of President Biden as he “[h]it[s…

Semafor’s Sunday media newsletter offered a scoop from media reporter Max Tani spotlighting discord within the union representing journalists as, led by union reps at The Wall Street Journal, “[i]nfluential members of the country’s largest journalist union are resisting calls to release a statement supporting a ceasefire in Gaza.”

SAN ANTONIO – Gov. Gregg Abbott has called a third special legislative session in an attempt to push through three priorities that previous sessions have defeated, surprisingly with some Republicans joining with most Democrats in opposition. School choice is one of those priorities. The last session bowed to scare tactics by the powerful teachers unions and Democrats who promoted claims that…

Monday’s White House press briefing started on a pathetic note with the first flurry of questions consisted of the press corps sticking up for and asking questions on behalf of the Ukrainians, not the American people. Eventually, there were real questions asked, thanks in part to Fox’s Peter Doocy and wife Hillary Vaughn of the Fox Business Network.

On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC went gaga and played state-run media over President Biden’s “historic visit” “standing shoulder to shoulder” with striking United Auto Workers (UAW), but ignored the fact that Biden’s visit to the picket line only lasted 12 minutes before he returned to Air Force One and set off to Silicon Valley for a far-…

The Morning Joe panel agrees that Donald Trump's decision to show support for the striking auto workers is a "bold" and even a "good" move for him. 

In stark contrast to CNN the previous day, Friday’s Morning Joe on MSNBC sided with the Teamsters union as they threatened to go on strike against UPS. Omitting the fact that UPS workers already led the industry in compensation, MSNBC hosts Willie Geist, Jonathan Lemire, and Al Sharpton boasted about Teamsters president Sean O’Brien and let him lead the narrative on why they weren’t…

This Thursday on CNN This Morning, anchor Victor Blackwell interviewed Sean O’Brien, the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, who plan to strike if UPS does not meet their demands in a contract negotiation. Pointing out that UPS already heads the industry in pay, Blackwell pressed O’Brien on why the strike was necessary and how it could hurt UPS drivers, which…
