WOW. I spent 18 yrs in a labor union. Most of my extended family spent their entire working careers in the same union. None of us ever knew this. We always knew the union was politically involved but never to this extent. That's gonna take some time to process. Very very disturbing to say the least. Thank you for your courage. Many have been terminated for saying much less.
Seems like if you paid dues to that union and they misused the money, you would have a legal case against them. What if you and the other members demanded a refund on those grounds? Through a lawyer of course.
Here’s an idea. Government workers lose their unions altogether. The whole democrat criminal enterprise will crumble. They never should have been allowed to unionize. I only saw this coming 55 years ago.
Bingo. When public school teachers were allowed to unionize by the 1970s my Dad said, "That's the end of good teachers." He was right. Easy to track falling student skills which began plummeting when there were enough union teachers with tenure who can't be fired easily. Suddenly our public schools had "creative math" and "creative spelling." Ebonics. Watched my local school district start making grammar school kids have homework in the 1990s complete with a stupid and heavy math book which required a parent or guardian to help with that homework, a book which never had students master any math skills. Just constant "circle back" magical pedagogy. Now, 2nd graders get calculators and laptops with word processing. Meanwhile, more parents each year bail from crazy public schools and go private, charter or homeschool making teachers' unions ever more desperate, reckless, and political.
My Dad said once teachers as government employees were allowed to walk off the job and picket it was game over. Decades later a non-profit colleague of mine who'd served as the chief legal council for the California public teachers union laughed telling me how they'd used strikes to force maximum pay and then maximum benefits for which school boards years later would have to figure out how to pay for by constantly raising new taxes. "We can buy two new pairs of 'prescription' glasses every year even if our eyes don't need them! Designer sunglasses!," he chortled. Even as school districts were going bankrupt! He laughed how he got the very same pension and medical benefits as the teachers. How delighted he was his own wife as his dependent non-teacher spouse only had to pay a few dollars co-pay for her final very expensive cancer treatments before she died. He didn't gave a fig about falling student scores. Public schools paid for by taxpayers for him were just a source of a max-cash & benefits pass-thru for himself, his wife, and his clients. A mere game he won by playing poker cards against dumb suckers.
I had a knot the size of a softball in my stomach as I read this knowing most Union Members don't understand it. I was one of them for about 10 years and I had no clue. It sickens me how big gov't, big unions steal from hard working Americans to fund what amounts to organized crime. I hope there is enough time with this Presidency to untangle the corruption...we may not get another chance.... Great work exposing it.
Union dues do not run through the state payroll system, and become optional. Similar to what they did with the teachers union in Florida. Breaking the flow of cash by reducing the size of the spigot.
Thanks for all your behind the curtain information. Unfortunately, the left will deny all this. Heck, last night, Jimmy Kimmel even said ANTIFA wasn't real but only a figment of right wing imaginations.
Hey EKO. The union scam began, big-time, with EO#10988, allowing federal civil service to unionize. JFK's dad, the rumrunner who bought his son's election, had #10988 ready for JFK to sign on January 17th 1962...as a payoff for the fix mob-labor fixed in Chicago against Nixon. From the moment of JFK's signing that order (or else!), communist lawfare lawyers in the USA have employed the language in that EO to bring communist labor union organization down, down, down to the dogcatcher level. Government employee work = communist dues-paying. One of the most offensive communist labor unions is the "Association of Administrative Law Judges." Those crooked judges are protecting the rotten union-dues scam you have so aptly described. Innocent citizens paying dues for their own enslavement and destruction...it's a mess.
Was that 1962 EO ever enshrined in federal statutes? If not T-47 could undo it as he did affirmative action.
"... communist lawfare lawyers " yes, but I'd also call them mere mafia, thuggees and/or immoral card sharks who play numbers games and run other rackets from blackmail to extortion for personal profits and power. See my new comment above about a California public teacher union's chief legal counsel active around the 1990s.
...enter EO10988 at any major search engine and be amazed at the results: millions and millions of propaganda words that have been written to defend it. 10988 (one-zero-nine-eight-eight) "legalized" lawfare, subterfuge and skullduggery against this constitutional republic. The Sicilian mobs may cash in at the periphery but the real dirty work is being done out of quiet, well-appointed law offices located in every major city on earth.
Swamp creatures brought into the light. Exposure is how we dismantle them. EKO, I can't thank you enough and I'm looking forward to the day when you can tell us who you are, when it is safe enough to do so. I know that day will come.
So if Treasury and FBI are actually on this, how long should we wait before expecting to hear about arrests in the news? (Not MSM of course, but at least Fox, Western Journal, Daily Caller, etc.)
Not a lawyer, but I know that it is imperative that i's are dotted and t's crossed on the charging docs before the case is brought to avoid the case being thrown out on some technicality. Getting that thoroughness takes time and staff work. Hopefully public pressure from EKO and all the rest of us will push that along. We surely don't have a lot of time in terms of political cycles to get this done.

Yes!
But... good luck
Good luck indeed. It's like digging a trench, once you dig down deep enough the sides of the hole collapse and bury you alive.

Thank you for exposing this and reporting it all.
They have entrapped us and made us slaves to their systems! They will not win this game.
But, only if the broad population are ACCURATELY & TRUTHFULLY informed, and then CARE enough, responsible enough,
to get involved and fight back.
Republicans don't even vote in primaries. That is the signal that there is little hope.

Ditto - huge knot in my gut reading this. It is totally offensive and repulsive.
Great article! Thank you!
But, don't submit to the leftist pressures by disguising facts.
Rewrite this article, replacing 'resistance', and similar words,
with 'rebellion', 'sedition' & 'anarchy'.
Make it clear. Call it what it is.

EKO - we love you back!!! Your work is amazing!

So the EO isn't enshrined in any fed statute?
As the Pirate King sang in G&S's "Pirates of Penzance" the real pirates are:
"Away to the cheating world go you,
Where pirates all are well-to-do"
Swamp creatures brought into the light. Exposure is how we dismantle them. EKO, I can't thank you enough and I'm looking forward to the day when you can tell us who you are, when it is safe enough to do so. I know that day will come.
Thank you EKO! I love Tore Says and follow her, as well. Praise God for you both and the work that you do.

I'm shocked and appalled, but not really. Deep down, none of it surprises me at all. The left is so dirty, it makes the mafia look like choir boys. 🤢
Let's all start calling it what it really is. A Global Crime Syndicate.
And...
rebellion, sedition and anarchy.
