"Union fat-cats...myth or reality?"

“In short, if unions truly did not want to represent so-called “freeloaders,” they could well do so by insisting on members-only contracts in both the private and public sector. Perhaps such a policy would make more workers stick to their unions by paying dues and reaping the rewards of collective bargaining. Or, perhaps union membership will dwindle even further as non-members realize that they can do just fine on their own two feet.”

“For decades, union bosses and their political puppets have spread half-truths and straight-up lies in a desperate attempt to shift public opinion towards saving union-shop laws – where workers are compelled to pay dues whether they like it or not.”

“ "It doesn't matter to us if [workers] join or not, just as long as they have the right to decide," he said.”

Who receives outrageous salaries and benefits, while living a life of luxury, lording their unrestrained power over the workers?

. . .

“Dennis Gannon, former president of the Chicago Federation of Labor. In 2004, he began receiving more than $150,000 a year after retiring at age 50 from a $56,000-a-year city job that he had left nearly 13 years earlier. He received his city pension while collecting a salary of about $200,000 from the federation. During his lifetime, the city municipal pension fund will pay him approximately $5 million. Gannon told the Tribune that he was only following the law in filing for a city pension.”

By the time he turns 78, he will have received roughly $4 million from the city laborers' fund."

"And every year, those city pensions grow by 3 percent. Records show the top earners are:"

"Liberato "Al" Naimoli, president of the Cement Workers Union Local 76. He retired last year from a $15,000-a-year city job that he last held a quarter-century ago. Today, Naimoli receives more than $13,000 a month from the city laborers' pension fund even as he continues to earn nearly $300,000 annually as president of Local 76. His city laborers' pension will pay him about $4 million during his lifetime, according to a Tribune/WGN-TV analysis based on the funds' actuarial assumptions."

“All it took to give nearly two dozen labor leaders from Chicago a windfall worth millions was a few tweaks to a handful of sentences in the state's lengthy pension code.”

“The changes became law with no public debate among state legislators and, more importantly, no cost analysis.”

For most, these pension benefits will be greater than the salaries that they made while employed by the union. On the 1991 law that has secured these benefits, the Chicago Tribune reports:”
