As published by the Washington Examiner.
Should a union officer be able to keep his full compensation from the union treasury secret from the members?
Should a union officer be able to accept personal payments from businesses the union has dealings with and then keep such dealings confidential?
Most would think the answer to these questions is an obvious “no.”
Union management does not agree and they are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars from their members’ dues to prevent any such reporting and disclosure.
The reason I know this is that I spent eight years at the U.S. Department of Labor attempting to get unions to comply with such reporting requirements and they fought us every step on the way.
With the arrival of President Obama, all such requirements are being rolled back or the Labor Department is refusing to enforce them until such a time as they can be rolled back.
