Its time to take on these union bosses who work for them selves more than their union members.

American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) – Gerald McEntee: $565,035
In an era when “the 99%” are protesting private corporations that are supposedly squelching democracy, and President Obama is taking issue with the political campaign spending of “special interests”, you’d think the public sector employee must be helpless and without any voting power whatsoever. But this public sector union outspent (http://www.ideasinactiontv.com/tcs_daily/2010/10/when-unions-vote-your-money.html) even the Chamber of Commerce and Karl Rove’s ‘evil’ American Crossroads PAC in 2010 when AFSCME contributed $87 million to the congressional elections. “"We're spending big. And we're damn happy it's big. And our members are damn happy it's big-it's their money,” AFSCME president McEntee told the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303339504575566481761790288.html)t hat year. I doubt that all taxpayers would agree. And by the way, where was Occupy to protest that special interest spending?
National Education Association (NEA) – John Wilson: $492,484
In 2007, this union – which represents over three million members, most on taxpayer funded salaries – spent over $80 million (http://www.teachersunionexposed.com/unions.cfm), 20% of its budget, toward left-wing causes and groups, regardless of the personal beliefs of its members. That source pointed out, “As a Wall Street Journal editorial noted, the union's financial disclosure forms "expose the union as a honey pot for left-wing political causes that have nothing to do with teachers, much less students."
United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) – Joseph Hansen: $352,758
UFCW is no stranger to knock-down, drag-out fights. In 2007, after enduring the union’s relentless corporate campaigns, Smithfield Foods finally filed a RICO lawsuit (http://web.archive.org/web/20071130220058/http:/www.charlotte.com/business/breaking_news/story/382068.html) against UFCW, insisting the move was a necessary last resort. The company and union later settled the matter when Smithfield agreed to drop the suit if UFCW suspended its campaigns.
AFL-CIO - Richard Trumka: $293,750
Trumka has just recently said (http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2012/05/07/Trumka-Ive-Talked-To-Obama-About-2nd-Term-Agenda) that he’s met with President Obama about his second term agenda. So if you’re one of those (sssshhhh) Republican union members in Trumka’s organization, your money is going to Obama whether you like it or not. (By the way, do you know your Beck rights (http://unionrefund.org/index.asp)? You can ask your union to refund dues money that is not used to represent YOU.)
Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) - Dan Burkhalter: $242,000
As union members and supporters were protesting Walker’s budget cuts and comparing him to Hitler, WEAC laid off employees (http://www.openmarket.org/2011/08/17/weac-demonstrates-that-union-solidarity-is-a-thing-of-the-past/) of its own, while its leaders raked in six-figure salaries.
