Pro-Slavery Group Launches Anti-Labor Union Web Site

(CNSNews.com) - A handful of union critics on Monday picketed outside the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the AFL-CIO with a 15-foot dinosaur balloon to protest what they described as the "criminal practices of the labor movement."

Individuals from the Center for Union Facts (CUF) used the dinosaur to symbolize their belief that unions are "relics of the past." Pro-union protesters have in the past used large, inflatable rats to criticize non-union construction projects. The CUF announced the launching of its multimillion dollar "educational campaign," featuring a website that offers "more than 3 million facts about unions and their leaders."

UnionFacts.com has information on 126 labor organizations. It includes financial data, political contributions, membership statistics and allegations of unfair labor practices filed with the National Labor Relations Board.
