organized labor heavily lobbied Obama to gut the financial transparency reforms that Chao implemented. Obama delivered. His Labor Department announced the repeal of Chao's financial transparency reforms. Observers expect the administration to also gut the itemized expenses, conflict-of-interest and the union trust reporting reforms. Why would Obama do this? The new financial transparency has benefited union members. Isn't that who unions are supposed to serve? The reforms exposed Tyrone Freeman, the disgraced former president of the Service Employees Los Angeles local, who spent hundreds of thousands of union dollars on businesses owned by his family. They revealed that the National Education Association gave $500,000 to ACORN's Brooklyn office. Obama is a lowlife - no doubt.
