Organized Labor vs. The Children

In case you missed it, the Wall Street Journal (page 1) today broke a story about how labor unions hate the environment.

The host committee for the Democratic National Convention wanted 15,000 fanny packs for volunteers. But they had to be made of organic cotton. By unionized labor. In the USA.

Official merchandiser Bob DeMasse scoured the country. His weary conclusion: "That just doesn't exist."

Ditto for the baseball caps. "We have a union cap or an organic cap," Mr. DeMasse says. "But we don't have a union-organic offering."

Here are some other facts about labor unions and their anti-environment activism:

Many cars are made by labor union members. Cars cause the planet to overheat and flood.

Coal causes a lot of carbon emissions. Most coal is buried harmlessly underground until it is extracted by members of labor unions.

Labor unions frequently protest with large cardboard signs, which require many trees to be needlessly cut down (by other union members).
