No? Well then, here’s a snippet for you
Never mind about those revised union financial disclosure requirements President Obama inherited from his predecessor. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis now says she won’t make union officials comply.
Unions officials complained for eight years that regulations issued by Elaine Chao, President George W. Bush’s Labor Secretary, were more rigorous than required by the Labor Management and Reporting Disclosure Act (LMRDA), which calls for modestly detailed annual financial reports by unions with receipts of $250,000 or more.
The Bush-Chao regulations require union officials to disclose financial information that could aid union members’ seeking information on how their union leaders are spending dues money, and to help expose “no show jobs†that put paychecks for ghost employees into union coffers.
In eight years, the Bush-Chow Department of Labor got over 1000 indictments and 929 convictions (at last count) on fraud charges.
No wonder the union officials were complaining.
The only “greening” that the Obama Administration is doing is making the fields greener for union corruption.
