Employees of George Soros’ shady Open Society Foundation have unionized in a bid to improve working condition and pay.
The move is part of a broader effort to unionize liberal political activists, which often runs into opposition from the same progressive leaders who claim to support organized labor.
“Staffers at the New York-based foundation last week ratified their first collective bargaining agreement, making salaries and work responsibilities more transparent and giving employees a new measure of job security,” the liberal Huffington Post reports.
Realizing that opposing the move would set off a political firestorm, Soros did not fight the movement.
“OSF employees in New York and Baltimore held a union election in 2016, prompted in part by a major reorganization that jostled staffers. They voted 109-80 in favor of joining the Communications Workers of America Local 1180,” the Huffington Post reports. “In response, the foundation’s management did not wage the sort of anti-union campaign favored by many U.S. employers.”
When the Huffington Post says “many U.S. employers,” they mean “other liberal groups.” As liberal activists nationwide try to unionize, they find themselves being targeted by those who want to impose forced unionism on private employers.
The Washington Examiner’s Sean Higgins reports:
Staffers at the liberal news site Vox joined the Writers Guild of America East this year after charging that Vox Media, the website’s parent corporation, was involved in “unionbusting” to undermine their efforts. The Writers Guild also unionized the staffers of ThinkProgress, the liberal blog of the nonprofit Center for American Progress Action Fund, in 2015.
Staffers at the liberal website Media Matters for America voted to unionize as part of the Service Employees International Union in 2014, after facing initial resistance from their management. The same SEIU local that represents those workers has been involved in an effort to organize the activist group Council on American Islamic Relations and has filed an unfair practices complaint against CAIR’s leadership.
With formal unionization now in place, how long will it be before strikes, work stoppages, unsustainable benefits packages bring Soros’ work to a halt?
Union bosses may do what conservatives have tried for years – bankrupt George Soros.
