Union Bosses Going All Out to Capture Congress
During the months leading up to Election Day 2026, Big Labor bosses’ focus on politics has never been more explicit.
As 2009 fades away, President Obama has decided to let disclosure of hundreds of millions of dollars in forced-union-dues disclosure fade away too. Under current law and regulations valid until December 30th, union bosses were supposed to carefully document the billions of dollars they extract from workers as a condition of employment that they in turn pour into front groups and other “funds” each year.
A large part of the billions were about to be made public and reported on a Department of Labor disclosure form known as the Form T-1 Annual Report. But, that won’t happen now!
According to Bureau of National Affairs, Inc, “The Labor Department is issuing a final rule that extends for one year the deadlines for unions to file Form T-1 Trust Annual Report Reports.”
After allowing only 11 days of comments from the public, the Obama Administration postponed requiring reports for another year. During 2010, the Obama Administration states that it intends to completely eliminate the financial disclosure.
Again, the Obama Administration is blatantly paying back union bosses at the expense of rank-and-file workers.
During the months leading up to Election Day 2026, Big Labor bosses’ focus on politics has never been more explicit.
According to AFSCME Local 1632 President Will Harmon, Columbus Water & Power committed a grievous offense by subcontracting out the job of clearing away invasive weeds and brush spread out across two acres of its property to a tribe of roughly 40 goats without first “negotiating” with Big Labor.
One longtime IAFF official who is now in the spotlight for his crass denigration of “two-hatters” -- that is, professional firefighters who also serve as volunteers -- is Pennsylvania Democrat politician Bob Brooks.
