Sometimes it’s as if Big Labor and their allies are doing their best to make our lives easier in exposing union shenanigans, corruption and unsavory tactics.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that “the expertise of a union organizer convicted of stalking” was called to “defend policies that would make it easier for labor groups to obtain personal information of workers and speed up elections.”
Among the many organizational representatives present at a recent meeting of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was one Steve Maritas, an organizer with the International Union Security, Police, Fire Professionals of America, whose accomplishments include:
- “He compared Las Vegas casino executives to Osama bin Laden in a contentious organizing fight.”
- In the same organizing fight, he “threatened to bus in prostitutesand homeless people to disrupt operations at the MGM casino.”
- Maritas was also “arrested for felony stalking in California in 2012 after a former girlfriend took out a restraining order on him. He was later convicted.”
This is the man union bosses chose to appear “before the NLRB to extol the virtues of reforming union elections procedures that critics say will tilt the scales in unions’ favor.”
And they wonder why their membership rolls continue to shrink.
