Representatives of “Big Labor” will be filling church pulpits this weekend to preach government-run healthcare and other liberal political priorities.

The AFL-CIO is cosponsoring a program over Labor Day weekend called “Labor in the Pulpits,” in which union stewards will serve as guest speakers at churches and discuss their social justice goals. Those goals include addressing “the injustices facing low-wage workers” and lobbying for a government-run healthcare plan. More than 1,000 churches are expected to take part in the program.
Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Committee, says he finds it quite ironic that the AFL-CIO will be preaching from pulpits about justice for workers.
“Many of the rank-and-file workers who may be in the congregations of these churches listening to this advocate for organized labor’s legislative priorities need to understand that organized labor is using oftentimes compulsory dues that are extracted from workers as a condition of their employment to promote ideas that I don’t think would be appropriate in the pulpits of many churches in America,” he contends.
Mix says some of those items the AFL-CIO is promoting with workers’ dues include abortion-on-demand, same-sex “marriage,” and President Obama’s healthcare plan.
