You have no memory. The Clinton regime was up to its ears in illegal schemes with Big Labor to funnel cash to them. Remember the fraud they were involved in with Teamsters head Carey? Some were convicted but Reno's team let the big guys off the hook - despite plenty of evidence of wrongdoing. Your favorite papaer - the WSJ - documented it well. THe Clinton regime was also involved with other corrupt unions.

On the other side of the ledger, let's try to conjure up a union that has been in the news lately for keeping bad books or similar. And how would we like to define "lately"?

Dear flappy, how stupid are you anyway. I do wonder. In my America I can leave my house and go to dozens of stores that are filled with foods, electronics, clothing and all manner of goods. So much of this created by Big Business. It is amazing to me that you really believe that all are corrupt and stink. flappie you are indeed retarded. You are blind apparently to all the wealth and good that surround you. You words tell all you are 100% clueless as to what it takes to create such abundance. Simple glass bottles, how are the billions of them made so they cost a penny or less of production costs. Some amazing engineering by honest people. I know I've been in some very small scale projects. Why do you see no bottles with chips, nicks and cracks?? pbase.com These dumb machines have far more vision than you. tom watson tosiwmee

It only took thirty seconds of research to find this incredible gem: union corruption and McAuliffe all in one. nlpc.org National Legal and Policy Center -- Organized Labor Accountability Project UNION CORRUPTION UPDATE July 17, 2000 -- Vol. 3, Issue 15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Influential Leaders & Important Decision Makers: Information on America's most corrupt & aggressive unions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ELECTRICAL WORKERS (IBEW) Suit Against Fund Tied to McAuliffe, May Settle in September The U.S. Dep't of Labor's ERISA suit against two trustees of the Nat'l Elec. Benefit Fund charging improper dealings between NEBF and top Clinton-fundraiser Terry McAuliffe is scheduled to have a settlement conference on Sept. 7, according to a June 27 letter from U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles B. Day to the parties. This follows two failed settlement meetings in Jan. and Apr. 1999 before the suit was filed. Among the May 1999's suit allegations was that NEBF trustee John Grau and ex-trustee Jack F. Moore imprudently lent over $6 million in pension assets. NEBF is operated jointly by the Int'l Bhd. of Elec. Workers, from which Moore retired as secretary in 1997, and the Nat'l Elec. Contractors Ass'n. The alleged scam involved a questionable $6 million loan in 1992 to a McAuliffe firm. The loan was in default from 1992-97, and DOL says NEBF should have known the loan couldn't be repaid in full with interest. DOL seeks the trustees to reimburse the fund for losses, plus interest. According to the most recent court documents, the discovery phase of the suit is nearly complete. But there is a lot of back-and-forth about two document requests from DOL. The first is: "[a]ll monthly transaction and valuation reports and quarterly and annual performance reports pertaining to the assets and investments of [NEBF] that relate to the period from [Oct.] 1, 1997 to the present." The second requests NEBF's IRS Form 5500s since 1998. According court documents submitted by the defendants' attorney, James M. Kefauver, DOL missed a deadline and is attempting to get "a second bite at the apple" in its pursuit of these records. [Herman v. Moore, CA# AW99-1283 (D.
