The Democratic Party’s allies in the AFL-CIO’s unions are pressuring unions and companies to protect illegal-alien migrant employees from deportation, effectively converting the pro-worker unions into wage-cutting front-groups for employers.
The conversion is described by the New York Daily News, which showed how progressive lawyers train local Teamster union leaders to negotiate workplace contracts which minimize employers’ cooperation with immigration enforcement agencies. The article says:
At a Wednesday class, funded by the Consortium for Worker Education, Mike Spinelli of Local 553 listened carefully as trainer Luba Cortés walked everyone through the difference between an administrative warrant and a judicial one. …
Spinelli paid particular attention because many of his members — immigrants who work at a Long Island dairy farm — were profoundly shaken when federal [immigration enforcement] agents raided nearly 100 7-Eleven stores last month in a search for undocumented workers.
“We deliver all the dairy to all the 7-Eleven stores in the city — you can imagine how scared some of these guys are,” he said. “It’s a scary time in general, and we’re hoping this can help the workers feel prepared and help protect them — and also so employers know they don’t have to just roll over.”
Unions once existed to push up workers’ wages by denying employers the ability to hire other people from outside the picket line.

The problem is that these illegals are BECOMING our representatives. I for one prefer to be represented by an American. Others apparently don't agree with me on this.
Unions, Treasonous Communists taking advantage of stupid people.
Unions work for the $$, not so much the workers.
If you rank and file need any more proof that the union bosses could't care less about you then you're just plain stupid.
Need not worry about the unions any way. After the SCOUS hears the union dews/funding case on Feb. 26. They will this time make union dews illegal and with out funding the unions will have to fold.
This is why unions are NOT for the working man and woman but rather a tool for the Democratic party. They take your hard earned money and use it against you. Wake up and dump the unions the could care less about you they just want your money .
Maryland state employees are FORCED to pay union dues. Dues that go to elect Democrats who are in office and running for office.
Sounds like a conspiracy to obstruct justice and a criminal enterprise.
Just make sure you wear your seat belt. It's a crime that gets a lot more attention than any conspiracy to protect criminals.
keep cheering.
Best wishes for the failure of SLEOLA and all other money grabbing unions.
