For the Union Crowd

From the Department of Labor...

Combating Corruption Harming Union Members: During FY 2007, the Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) secured 100 indictments and 118 convictions against union officials and related parties for crimes, such as fraud and embezzlement. Since 2001, OLMS investigations have yielded a total of 842 indictments with 802 convictions and returned more than $88 million in restitution to rank-and-file union members.

Has to make you feel really good about the effectiveness of the monthly dues....
