How Big Labor and Bernie Sanders tried to steal Christmas

Dec 24, 2024 | washingtonexaminer.com | Tom Hebert

In the timeless children’s book, the Grinch develops and executes a nefarious scheme to steal all of the Christmas gifts and decorations in the neighboring town of Whoville. Much like the Grinch, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has teamed up with Teamsters President Sean O’Brien to steal Christmas right before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the Oval Office. It should be no surprise that O’Brien wants to cause maximum chaos ahead of Trump’s inauguration.
Top 3 Ways Teamsters Boss Sean O’Brien Stabbed President Trump In The Back

Nov 20, 2024 | atr.org | Tom Hebert

Teamsters Union President Sean O’Brien is pushing President-elect Donald Trump to nominate former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) for Secretary of the Department of Labor, media reports indicate. Chavez-DeRemer is a co-sponsor of the anti-worker “Protecting the Right to Organize” (PRO) Act, a bill that bans right-to-work laws nationwide, snuffs out independent contractors who want to be their own boss, and exacerbates union harassment of workers.

Rank-and-file members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union voted to endorse Donald Trump over Kamala Harris on a 2 to 1 margin.

Op-ed: Tom Hebert: The United States Trade Representative’s election season stunt

Sep 23, 2024 | washingtonreporter.news | Tom Hebert

When faced with the choice of standing up for American companies or colluding with foreign governments to undermine American companies, the Biden-Harris administration has consistently chosen the latter. The United States Trade Representative’s (USTR) new trade dispute with Canada is a pathetic attempt to paper over the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to stand up for American economic interests abroad.
California Democrats Bail Out Failed Legacy Media

Sep 8, 2024 | townhall.com | Tom Hebert

Big Tech companies and legacy media outlets have a big thing in common: stifling conservative viewpoints. California Democrats have orchestrated a deal requiring Google and California taxpayers to shell out hundreds of millions of dollars to state-approved news organizations. If Democrats replicate this unholy alliance between Big Tech and legacy media nationwide, it would be open season for conservative and independent journalists.
No, unions are not soaring

Sep 2, 2024 | washingtonexaminer.com | Tom Hebert

Seventy percent of Americans approve of labor unions, according to a Gallup push poll released this week. Naturally, Big Labor’s allies in the media are touting the poll as evidence that unions are having their biggest moment since the 1960s. In reality, workers are fleeing unions in droves despite the Biden administration’s best efforts to force workers into unions. Any “momentum” for Big Labor is a media fantasy.
FTC's 'Big Grocery' Probe of Rising Prices Is an Election Year Ploy

Aug 14, 2024 | dailysignal.com | Tom Hebert

Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan has announced a new investigation into “Big Grocery” to examine the role “corporate greed” has played in high grocery prices. Khan’s investigation is an election-year stunt to blame high prices on progressive whipping boys instead of government failure. If Khan were serious about lowering grocery prices, she would greenlight the Kroger-Albertsons merger and abandon plans to revive Robinson-Patman Act enforcement.
