“We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama — $60.7 million to be exact — and we’re proud of it,” boasted Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, to the Las Vegas Sun this week. The behemoth labor organization’s leadership is getting its money’s worth. Whether rank-and-file workers and ordinary taxpayers are profiting from this ultimate campaign pay-for-play scheme is another matter entirely.
HINF did a bunch of janitors come up with $60.7 million ?
Remind me again why we should avoid patronizing union shops when we can?
You might ask the mods to correct the title.
Should be: Big Labor’s investment in Obama pays off
You mean, taxpayers spent $60.1 million for Obama.
It is criminal that government unions can involve themselves in politics.
'Preview' is your friend.
To prevent duplication, please do not change the headline. Thanks.
They’re just a small little union battling to make a living in a dog eat dog world. I wonder how much they spend on PR?
Pay no never mind to their self-serving agenda and leaders , more than a couple of them indicted of late, who pursue parallel efforts with a leftist agenda that seeks to benefit off the labor of others.. rather than seek to help protect their freedoms.. they seek to enslave.
Isn’t this the same union that openly represents all the illegals that work cleaning hotels and in fast food chains? Who said illegals don’t vote? Wish there was a list of all employers that have this union, I would boycott and send list to all my many friends to do the same.
They are EVERYWHERE here in WNY - ARGH!!!
