Big Labor to Hide More Politcal Spending on Obama’s New Union Financial Reports
The Obama Administration eliminated significant amounts of union financial disclosure and accountability. Now, Big Labor plans to conceal most of its 2012 political spending in its new Obama Department of Labor disclosure reports. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the union bosses are “rejiggering” their political spending toward more undisclosed and non-reportable expenditures further leaving union workers in the dark about how their union dues are being spent.
