Major government unions lose over 200K members

  The top four public labor unions in the U.S. lost hundreds of thousands of members since a 2018 Supreme Court case that ruled government employees could not be forced to pay a union to keep their job, a new report shows that.

The Commonwealth Foundation released the report, which found that the top four public labor unions - AFT, AFSCME, NEA, and SEIU - lost nearly 219,000 members altogether since the Janus v. AFSCME ruling.

"In response, government unions are conducting aggressive campaigns to unionize new workers with recent successes in Virginia and Colorado." The loss of members has not been as drastic as was predicted by some when the Supreme Court first issued the ruling in 2018.

Unions got a ban on collective bargaining lifted in Virginia, which has led to local governments around the state unionizing.

Max Nelsen, director of labor policy at the Freedom Foundation, said unions "Have pulled out all the stops to institute other coercive and deceptive dues collection practices, even going so far as to forge employees' signatures on union membership forms."Unions and their political allies in government have responded furiously to the Supreme Court's landmark workers' rights ruling in Janus v. AFSCME," Nelsen said.

"Four states prohibit unions from using taxpayer-funded government payroll systems to collect political contributions or funds for use on political purposes.

" The report also graded states based on their union policies, with right-leaning policies receiving higher grades.

In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...
