Shadowbosses

The American government no longer answers to the American people, but its new masters, the heads of public unions. In SHADOWBOSSES, Mallory Factor sheds light on this unholy alliance between the labor unions that represent government employees, and the government itself. Mallory Factor begins with a brief history of labor unions; how unionization came about, and the current startling difference between unions in the public and private sectors. Public union bosses control the purse strings in Washington, forcing more and more people into joining their ranks, and resorting to violent and dangerous means to get what they want. This is an epidemic. Government employee unions are growing our government and driving our states and nation into insolvency; they are corrupting the electoral process through payoffs and kickbacks, and by extracting dues from hardworking Americans without their consent. Mallory Factor shows how these crony unions have corrupted our political process to perpetuate their own survival, and how they helped ensure President Obama a seat in the White House. The American people have lost control of their government to its shadowbosses, and Mallory Factor is here to help get it back.
