Workers in states without Right to Work protection, will be forced to subsidized the most recent brain-child of the union bosses — a combined pool of political largess to support pro-big labor candidates.
The AFL-CIO and the SEIU are throwing together nearly $100 million dollars despite not being happy about not “receiving everything they’ve wanted from the Administration.” We figure the Obama Administration didn’t throw in the kitchen sink with the billions in bailouts they have given the union bosses.
