From Big Government
Since people started camping out in the name of socialism or something, there have only been half measures by the media to determine whether union organizers were using dues to provide transportation, food and lodging for the Occupiers. Accuracy in Media infiltrated the National Nurses United for the duration of their Occupy DC protest tour. As the footage reveals, NNU in association with the AFL-CIO sent over 1,000 nurses from across the country, public and private sector, all expenses paid. It’s pretty sad to think that American veterans are sitting in a hospital room wondering where their nurse went.
This only shows how worthless Unions have become. Instead collectively bargaining for safer working conditions, medical/dental benefits and pension programs…the unions are supporting a socialist protest that hurts our economy and the plight of workers.
If I was paying dues to a union and saw my money going to that sory of thing, I’d be very angry.
But that’s the point Travis, most people in the union don’t geta break down on how those dues are spent.
Expences, training, donations to charity etc are the ways the unions hide these kinds of things.
