According to research compiled by Vincent Vernuccio of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Big Labor leaders are living high on the hog. Among his findings from perusing the reports filed at www.unionreports.gov:
• The National Education Association had 414 salaries over $100,000 in 2009
• The United Auto Workers had 538 salaries over $100,000
• The Laborers had 16 employees raking in over $250,000
Big Labor also likes nice buildings. The NEA’s Washington digs are valued at over $110 million, while the AFL-CIO abode is worth more than $90 million.
If only union members knew where their money went.
