All bets are off as Right to Work forces face new union boss efforts to repeal state Right to Work laws, attempts to mandate coercive card check organizing, and the possibility that all firefighters and police officers in America will be corralled into the union bosses' ranks.

Mix describes how the Committee is girding for battle to oppose the coming union power grabs. Please take the 13 minutes to listen to this extremely important interview:

Colorado Union Victims Deluge Journalist Who Doubted Big Labor's Penchant for Abuse

On Sunday, Denver Post columnist Al Lewis asked with skepticism "Where are the victims of unions?"

It must have struck a nerve out there. Only days later he writes a column with quotes from the "scores" of people who wrote in. Here are a few of the responses Lewis received:

"I don't like the direction they are headed in now... They've drifted from protecting the main interest of the working man into the outskirts of politics."
"Unions use the same methods as street thugs. They steal the money of hard working people through lies and intimidation."
"I unwillingly have $44.75 taken out of my pay check every month. My opinion of the . . . union is . . . we are nothing more than a 'cash cow.' "
"If the union had to earn its money, it would really make them a better union."
