The comrades are not so good at managing finances.

AFL-CIO LAYS OFF 120,000 UNION GOONS - MAY GO BUST

Oh, no. Not another WillieGreen post!

[Recovering_Democrat]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Now, if only the Teachers Unions and George Soros would go bankrupt!! :)

[ClintonBeGone]

Only union thugs could screw up a private business where it's income is extorted from selected members of society.

The damage that Sweeny has done to t he AFL-CIO is massive. The union under him has become so partisan that Democrats in 2000 had little fear when they voted to admit China into the WTO deal, and the AFL-CIO has ben so anti Republican at levels not even seen in the 40s that many anti globalist and anti constiutionalist Republicans who would be allies with them are disgusted. The AFL-CIO has become a public employee union, and under Sweenys horrible leadership, the private sector workforce has further languished.

Gee, I'm deeply saddened by this story.

I wonder if the union leadership thugs/socialists will still have enough confiscated union dues to buy off democrats in the 2004 election...

Well I guess they can cut the Las Vegas junkets ...... er conferences and the hookers,

the trips to Atlantis in the Bahamas for "fact finding" and the hookers... I mean international conferences,,

and the trips to Asia for gambling and ..... hookers, I mean international solidarity conferences. ,

Wait till they go through the books and find the "retirement fund" has hand scrawled IOU's, co-signed by..... hookers. hahahahahahahahahahahahaa

There are three strategies to get the AFL-CIO out of this terrible predicament. First, cut the wages and benefits of ALL AFL-CIO employees by 50%, second, when AFL-CIO bosses go to resorts for all their meetings and conferences, double up on all bets in the casinos, and finally, double the dues of all remaining AFL-CIO members. They could also eliminate AFL-CIO payment of rent for the mistresses of AFL-CIO bosses or, at least, pay for no more than two, but that would require a terrible sacrifice.

[witnesstothefall]

What's the average wage of an AFL-CIO member, about $50/hr?

[MinuteGal]

Yep, these unions dedicated to the welfare of Joe Six-Pack and his chillun continue to gouge dues from him and still pour millions of extorted $$$'s into the black-hole coffers of liberal 'Rat politicians.

The union thug bosses live like kings, and wine and dine at presidents' and senators' tables with nary of thought of lowering dues money and turning it back to those laborers who really need it.

Someday, the workers will wake up.

We need another Industrial Revolution from the rank-and-file.

Union Worker = Oxymoron

[river rat]

The socialist unionists, watching their capitalist employers send their jobs to communist China...while their Marxist Democrat "leaders" scream in protest...

Now, that should give them a headache...
WHO TO BLAME?

Semper Fi

[Consort]

The affected AFL-CIO workers should form a union.

[jmaroneps37]

After getting their ashes kicked in 94, it was "We'll spend everything we have to get back the Congress in 96!" They did and and they didn't. In 98 it was the same. In 00 it was the same. In 02 it was the same. In 04 it will be the same. It will continue to be the same until rat unions stop the socialist crap and work for their members' contracts and work place related issues instead. Fortunately, they won't ha ha ha!

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

...its own workers are taking two days of unpaid leave to avoid layoffs.

STRIKE!!!! They should picket the evil, rich, people taking their pay from them!!! Where is the protection for these poor laborers. They won't have enough money to buy little Johnnie Christmas presents this year!!! ACK!!! Liberal media where are you?!?!

[rabidralph]

Does this mean they may have to intimidate voters on election day without pay??!!
