Legislation introduced last week could shift costs of union pension plans to taxpayers in an attempt to stave off organized labor’s pension funding crisis. Senator Bob Casey, Pennsylvania Democrat, introduced the so-called Create Jobs & Save Benefits Act of 2010 to address the funding problems faced by union-administered multi-employer pension plans by shifting the burden to the taxpayers. Casey said his bill would cost the taxpayers $8 to $10 billion.
Bailouts are a bipartisan affair. Senator Casey’s bill is similar to the bill, H.R. 3936, in the U.S. House sponsored by Earl Pomeroy (D-ND) and Patrick Tiberi (R-Ohio).
New co-sponsors added to the growing list of members supporting the National Right To Work Act: Rep. Ron Wright (TX 06) and Rep. Rob Bishop (UT 01). That makes 69 co-sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives and 20 co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate. Are your Members Of Congress on this list?

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.
