Re: Union?

It is hard to hear what is being said when these are the facts. Sounds to me as though most American Union members have a very bad view of Unions. Guess those Union leaders are not all peace loving and honest folks.

According to a 2004 Zogby International poll, 71% of union members said the government ought to do more to protect union members from corrupt union officials, and that unions should be required to give detailed reporting of union finances to discourage abuse.


According to the FBI, four of the last eight Teamsters presidents have been criminally indicted.


Nearly 50% of the U.S. Department of Labor Inspector General's labor racketeering investigations involve pensions and employee welfare benefit plans.


According to the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General, "Schemes involving bribery, extortion, deprivation of union rights by violence, and embezzlement used by early racketeers are still employed to abuse the power of unions."
