Tale of the Red Tape #19: A More Perfect Union Advantage "New rules (supposedly) intended to maximize the services of government contractors require such firms to give first preference in hiring to the workers of the company that lost the contract. That is, when a government contract is awarded to a different firm, this new contractor must first offer employment to the workers of the previous contractor before hiring anyone else. As delineated in the Federal Register of August 29, tens of thousands of companies—representing more than $23 billion in government contracting—will be affected.
"The rule effectively ensures that a non-unionized contractor cannot replace a unionized one. That’s because any new contractor will be obliged to hire its predecessors’ unionized workers, and thus forced by the “Successorship Doctrine” to bargain with the union(s). Insulating union wages from market competition will also escalate the costs of government contracts." This is all originating from an Obama executive order.
Regulation # 18 listed in the above article: The government has established an official shepherd job description I kid you not.
“The Federal Government’s procurement interests in economy and efficiency are better served when a successor contractor hires the predecessor’s employees.”"Oh, really?"....

For Washington, D.C., in this day and age, to be micromanaging sheepherding and goatherding—as with the unchecked regulatory impositions on most every aspect of daily life—brings to mind an exhortation of Norman Vincent Peale: “Once we roared like lions for liberty; now we bleat like sheep for security!”House Set to Rebuke NLRB for Meddling in Boeing’s Expansion Plan "The federal government does not have the legal authority to prohibit a company from expanding its business or building a new factory in another state. Regrettably, the National Labor Relations Board ... is attempting to do just that. In asserting that the Boeing Company is engaging in unfair labor practices by establishing a new aircraft assembly facility in South Carolina, the NLRB is twisting the law to benefit a special interest—unions—at the expense of the rule of law and the nation’s economy."

The always charming Neal Boortz offers this campaign slogan for Obama: "See that guy over there with more stuff than you? Vote for me and you can have his stuff." He then provides some empirical evidence on class warfare here.
I’m sorry but this woman is simply wrong. She is spouting class warfare rhetoric without any stats to back herself up. Luckily I do have some stats.....
