Latest News
May 14, 2025: “This past week, Colorado lawmakers approved legislation, Senate Bill 5, that would gut the state’s 80-year-old Labor Peace Act by making it easier for unions to force private-sector workers to pay a union as a requirement of their job. Though Gov. Jared Polis opposes the bill, union advocates have promised that even his veto pen won’t end their push to expand labor’s reach. Recent history shows that Colorado workers should take them at their word.”
May 13, 2025: “As a recently retired teacher who was a member of the union for decades, color me skeptical of the union’s commitment to the First Amendment. When I spoke against a union-approved DEI program and came under fire from school officials for my opinion, the union hung me out to dry.”
May 1, 2025: “Enough. Teachers are consistently ranked among the nation’s most trusted professionals. It’s time to validate that trust by standing up to school administrators, teachers’ union officials, and others who put DEI above the classroom.”
March 13, 2025: “A longtime teacher at Oswego High School is suing the two unions that represented him, and their presidents, for wages taken from his paycheck, after he informed them he longer wanted to be a member.”
February 20, 2025: “Following President Trump’s executive order to combat anti-Semitism came reports that his administration has opened investigations at five U.S. universities—including at UC Berkeley…But investigators would be wise to also examine the role unions have played. My own lawsuit…should be enough to raise alarm bells.”
February 6, 2025: “‘I tried to reform the union from within but was greeted only by more hate and abuse. I hope my lawsuit shows the thousands of others represented by the union what it is saying and doing in their name and ends the harassment I’ve experienced.’”
