FBI Investigating Former SEIU Leader Andy Stern
Prominent Labor Figure Resigned in April; Allegedly Approved Salary for No Work, Used Union to Push Lucrative Book
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/09/28/national/main6907828.shtml
The FBI and the U.S. Labor Department are investigating prominent labor leader Andy Stern in their probe of corruption at the Service Employees International Union, according to two people who have been interviewed by federal agents.
The two organized labor officials met with federal agents this summer to answer questions about a six-figure book contract that Stern landed in 2006 and his role in approving money to pay the salary of an SEIU leader in California who allegedly performed no work.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the investigation. The FBI and the Labor Department's office of inspector general declined to comment for the record.

Trumka’s charge is centered on his anger at private sector business and corporations for sitting on capital — as much as $2 trillion by some estimates — instead of spending it to expand and create jobs, and at insurers for proposing rate hikes. . . . .

The greedy, self-serving teachers' unions that have destroyed public education in this country and utterly bankrupted state and local budgets nationwide have snapped their fingers, so their bought-and-paid-for Democrat majority is now set to rush back to Washington and pay them off with another deficit-exploding bailout. . . .
