December 7, 2000 Union bosses fleece workers

Stefan Gleason

Though somewhat obscured by the Florida debacle, Big
Labor is among the big winners in November's elections.
Thanks to a massive union political effort, Big Labor chalked
up numerous wins for its handpicked congressional
candidates and delivered key states to Al Gore.
In one of the closest election campaigns in history, Big
Labor's big money swung battleground states such as
Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to Mr. Gore — states
that George W. Bush first appeared to be winning.
But this is no surprise. Before the election, AFL-CIO
boss John Sweeney boasted that he and his cronies would
spend more money than ever before on this year's political
campaigns. He wasn't kidding. But what you won't hear Mr.
Sweeney and his fellow union bosses brag about is where
they got the money to pay for their political dominance in this
election.
The fact is, union bosses forced millions of American
workers to foot the bill. These workers lost their right to
participate freely in the democratic process.
