In this week’s "Top 10 List" from Human Events, the staff of Human Events listed the "Top 10 Things On Big Labor’s Agenda." The list is telling, as it describes Big Labor’s outrageous plans to to grab more coercive power and erode employees’ rights in the workplace. Of course, the so-called "Employee Free Choice Act", more accurately called the "Card Check" Forced Unionism Bill tops the list:

1. Employee Free Choice Act
In addition to the notorious “card-check” provision that strips union members of their right to a secret ballot, this bill also provides for increased penalties for employers who commit allegedly unfair labor practices…

Besides card check forced unionism, Big Labor is even toying with a relaunch of efforts to "Repeal…Section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act [which] would take from states the right to enact Right to Work laws." Big Labor has wanted for decades to repeal this critical provision, and the most serious attempt to do so was in 1960s.

Not only is Big Labor trying to ultimately overturn laws in Right to Work states, but they "also seek the forced unionization of police, firefighters, and EMTs by federal fiat — overturning the laws of more than two dozen states."

Other notable aspects of Human Events‘ "Top 10 List" includes Big Labor’s nefarious plans of using the Federal government to force more employees into full dues paying compulsory unionism (see: #6, 7), concealing corruption (see: #8), and making it harder for employees to exercise their rights against the abuses of compulsory unionism (see: #9, 10).
