Labor unions have embedded themselves throughout every level of American government and now wield unprecedented influence over the nation's future. Mallory and Elizabeth Factor present extensive research showing how public sector union leaders operate as invisible power brokers, manipulating elections and undermining democratic processes. These "shadowbosses" have degraded essential government services while crippling public schools and pushing the country toward financial ruin. The authors reveal the unions' strategic plans to control Social Security beneficiaries, disabled Americans, military veterans, and anyone else who depends on government payments. The book documents how these organizations have corrupted the rule of law and seized control over America's political and economic systems. Factor provides citizens with the knowledge needed to recognize and challenge the true power holders shaping the country's direction.
