Capitol Chaos: Lawmakers Get Death Threats

By Jon Byman

MADISON - The State Department of Justice confirms that it is investigating several death threats against a number of lawmakers in response to the legislature's move to strip employees of many collective bargaining rights.

Among the threats the Justice Department is investigationg is one that was emailed to Republican Senators Wednesday night. Newsradio 620 WTMJ has obtained that email.

The following is the unedited email:

Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes

will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain

to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it

will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit

that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for

more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.

WE want to make this perfectly clear. Because of your actions today and in

the past couple of weeks I and the group of people that are working with me

have decided that we've had enough. We feel that you and the people that

support the dictator have to die. We have tried many other ways of dealing

with your corruption but you have taken things too far and we will not stand

for it any longer. So, this is how it's going to happen: I as well as many

others know where you and your family live, it's a matter of public records.

We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a

nice little bullet in your head. However, we decided that we wouldn't leave

it there. We also have decided that this may not be enough to send the

message to you since you are so "high" on Koch and have decided that you are

now going to single handedly make this a dictatorship instead of a

demorcratic process. So we have also built several bombs that we have placed

in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent.

This includes, your house, your car, the state capitol, and well I won't

tell you all of them because that's just no fun. Since we know that you are

not smart enough to figure out why this is happening to you we have decided

to make it perfectly clear to you. If you and your goonies feel that it's

necessary to strip the rights of 300,000 people and ruin their lives, making

them unable to feed, clothe, and provide the necessities to their families

and themselves then We Will "get rid of" (in which I mean kill) you. Please

understand that this does not include the heroic Rep. Senator that risked

everything to go aganist what you and your goonies wanted him to do. We feel

that it's worth our lives to do this, because we would be saving the lives

of 300,000 people. Please make your peace with God as soon as possible and

say goodbye to your loved ones we will not wait any longer. YOU WILL DIE!!!!

That would be a really stupid bet for lack of substance. Lets grow some decency on this one. The only thing that should be evident from your OP is that whomever wrote the original text is a psycho.

It certainly wasn't written by a tea party RWN. I think it speaks for itself. The thuggery by the unions is well known. This is just the latest manifestation.

And you are certain of this certainty exactly how? Do you have additional evidence that perhaps should be sent to law enforcement agencies?

Also well known is thuggery against unions, and that does involve real violence.

Wow, out of touch much? Or maybe you haven't been paying attention over the last few decades. Maybe you just don't want to know.

Really? Union members have been killing government officials and their families? Is this what you are saying? I see no evidence of that.

For every anti union act of violence you show me I will show you ten pro union act of violence. The unions are well known for violence and intimidation in an attempt to get their way.

I believe I was addressing something different from this supposed track record of murders and violent suppression of political and managerial staff. No need to get snippy- that's for the sandlot.

[JohnSmith2007 353]

Many union officials have ordered or approved of violent, coercive, and harassing conduct aimed at making an example of employees who don't toe the union line. The National Institute for Labor Relations Research has compiled a list of incidents of union violence that average nearly 300 per year for the last 30 years. The following cases are just a few examples.

West Virginia miner shot dead for working during a strike

On the orders of the United Mine Workers (UMW), 16,000 miners went on strike in 1993. One subcontractor, Eddie York (who was not a UMW member), decided it was important to support his wife and three children and crossed picket lines to get to his job. He was shot in the head as he left the job site to go home. UMW President Richard Trumka (now Secretary-Treasurer at the AFL-CIO) told The Washington Times that "if you strike a match and put your finger in, common sense tells you you're going to burn your finger." UMW strike captain Jerry Dale Lowe was found guilty of weapons charges and conspiracy in York's death, and York's widow Wanda sued the union for her husband's wrongful death. The UMW fought the lawsuit for four years, but settled with Wanda York only two days after federal prosecutors announced that they would share evidence from the criminal trial with York's attorneys.

Virginia women targeted for working during a strike

In 1996, when the United Auto Workers Local 149 called a strike against Abex Friction Products in Winchester, VA, several of the workers decided they needed their paychecks and crossed the picket lines to work. They were targeted for harassment and intimidation. In one instance, an employee who crossed the picket line found a severed cow's head placed on the hood of her car. Later, someone made up a photograph with her face superimposed over the dead cow's head and mailed it to her. The union paid a substantial settlement to six women for its members' harassment of them.

UPS driver beaten and stabbed by fellow union "brothers"

In 1997, Teamsters Local 769 in Miami ordered a strike against United Parcel Service. One driver, Rod Carter (a former star linebacker for the University of Miami), announced that he did not support the strike and intended to continue working to support his family. His wife received a threatening phone call, but Rod went to work anyway. While driving his route, he was stopped and stabbed with an ice pick. When Carter sued the union, another unionized UPS driver testified in a court deposition that the violence had been approved of by union officials.

Worker who opposed unionization has his house "put on the map"

In 2004 Jeff Ward, an employee at the Thomas Built Bus Company plant in High Point, NC, led a successful legal challenge to the unionization of the plant where he worked. Without a vote, the company had recognized the United Auto Workers as the exclusive representative of the workers, just on the basis of cards signed under what Ward called coercion from both the company and the union. After the company was compelled to cancel its recognition of the union, flyers went up in the plant, giving Ward's phone number and detailed directions to his home. At the bottom of the flyer was the message, "Jeff Ward lives here. Go tell him how you really feel about the union." No one claimed responsibility for the threatening flyers, but one union official said that Ward "put himself in the limelight."

Math teacher fired for challenging union president

George Parker taught math in Washington, DC and was a member of the Washington Teachers Union. In 1997, he challenged union president Barbara Bullock's financial administration with the Department of Labor -- and she allegedly had him fired for doing so. But Parker's suspicions were proven correct. Bullock was later convicted of embezzling $4.6 million of member dues money and sentenced to jail.

Laborers Union thug attacks union and non-union workers alike

Laborers Union Local 91 in Buffalo, NY often relied on Andrew Shomers to harm and intimidate workers -- union or not -- who weren't paying dues to the local. Shomers pleaded guilty in June 2005 to a series of crimes involving violence and sabotage. His offenses included vandalizing the offices of the local housing authority (because it didn't use Local 91 labor to install a small section of sidewalk outside its offices), participating in a group assault on workers from another union, stalking and attacking non-union workers on an asbestos-removal project (by throwing a homemade firebomb through a window), and destroying work that had been done by workers from another union and ruining their tools. Shomers was just one of fifteen former Local 91 leaders indicted by authorities in 2003. Following his plea bargain, seven other former leaders pleaded guilty.

Electrician fired for asserting his rights

George Galley is an electrician who has worked for Colt Industries in Hartford, CT since 1961. When the union that represented him (the United Auto Workers) called a strike in 1985, he stayed off the job for just over one month, and then decided he needed to support his family and returned to work -- as was his right. (Galley's decision was a good one, because the strike dragged on for four years.) After the strike, Colt asked all the workers to sign cards authorizing the automatic deduction of union dues from their paychecks. Galley declined to sign and asked for information about his legal options. Neither Colt nor the UAW complied with his request, but the company began taking out dues anyway. When Galley eventually got Colt to stop the deductions, the UAW had the company fire him. With legal help, Galley was able to get the National Labor Relations Board to declare that his firing was wrongful, and he was reinstated after being off the job for eighteen months. The union was later forced to pay Galley almost $31,000 in back pay.

Workers' families, pets threatened because they didn't want the union

Scott Barnes did not want to be represented by the California Nurses Association, which sought to impose itself on the nurses at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in 2002. To express his opinion, he posted these words on a website: "If the CNA is voted in, membership will NOT be voluntary, and YOU WILL have to give them $80 per month whether you like it or not. If the CNA really cared about any of us, they would let their reputation speak for itself, but they have no reputation and they have to force you to join." Subsequently, Barnes began to receive anonymous threatening calls saying that he should stop "f***ing with the union" and that his pet dogs might come to harm if he didn't.

Threatening calls were also made to Christine Foxon, another nurse with whom Barnes had co-founded an independent nurses' group. One caller said he knew she "had two young daughters" and she needed to "think about her family and her girls and back off." After one of these calls, Foxon dialed *69 and discovered that she had been called from an office of the CNA.

After reviewing the evidence, the National Labor Relations Board found that the union's menacing behavior had made a fair election impossible and overturned the narrow election win by the union.
