The National Institute for Labor Relations Research (NILRR.org) reports that Big Labor spent $1.7 Billion, that is “Billion’, on the 2016 Election Cycle. According to the report $1.3 billion came right from the commingled funds in union treasuries.
NILRR stated, “The National Institute for Labor Relations Research’s 2016 Election Cycle analysis of Big Labor Political Spending again shows an amount approaching $2 Billion, making labor unions, which have the ability to tax employees via forced-dues, the only 501(c)5 entities capable of sustaining this kind political expenditure for the past decade.”
Union officials chalked up a staggering 3,633,290 hours of taxpayer-funded union time in 2016, at a cost to taxpayers of over $177 million in payroll costs alone for just that one year. This includes, for example, over $700,000 spent on travel expenses for union bosses in the Social Security Administration.
