159 Wisconsin Union Bosses Make Six-Figure Salaries
Media Trackers ^ | February 27, 2014 | Brian Sikma

Gov. Scott Walker’s public sector collective bargaining reforms of 2011 have not prevented union officials from making hefty six-figure salaries even as some of their organizations struggle to retain members. A review of U.S. Department of Labor filings shows that at least 159 union officials in Wisconsin made six-figure salaries in fiscal year 2012.

...

The SEIU has used its political clout to recently push for a minimum wage hike for some Milwaukee County employees and government contractors. While decrying the current minimum wage, the SEIU conveniently lobbied for a carve-out that exempted employers from the requirement if they joined the SEIU.

I guess that’s why the Union has threatened him, set up boycotts of independent businesses.

The Unions hate him, Walker came out with his book “Unintimidated”http://www.amazon.com/Unintimidated-Governors-Story-Nations-Challenge/dp/1595231072

And the Union/Democrat side came back with their own book “Unintimidated: Wisconsin sings truth to power” http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0991010906/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1595231072&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0J00B2K2CCQ1SWPDS3YJ

“Scott Walker won the recall vote so you lazy unemployed liberals singing songs at the capitol should just get over it or move out of Wisconsin.”
Scott Schomaker

No telling what dirty tricks Anti-Walkerites might pull.

Anyone with one eye and a grain of sense has long known that the unions exist to enrich the leadership and to funnel money to the Rat Party.

Wow, 200K+ for carpenters & electrical workers big wigs. After a 6 year recession that creamed the building trades, this is excessive. A lot of the laid off workers had to pay union dues to keep the health insurance, that was a struggle.
