| Latest Post: Started By: Rank: Category "Union fat-cats...myth or reality?"So...you think labor unions are run by cigar chomping "Union Fat Cats", who receive outrageous salaries and benefits, while living a life of luxury comparable to Saudi Arabian Princes, lording their unrestrained power over the entire United States of America... all on the backs of the union-enslaved workers they represent. Here's your chance to prove it. Member CommentsMunsterNow why is it that we hear nothing from wrongriki on the outrageous compensation CEO's and other upper officers are making ?? A union is like a business and has a chain of command ! The president s are paid well for their services but nothing like the CEO of even a small company ! Now why is it Ok to make millions thereby affecting how employees are treated and yet making a salary representing sometimes millions of members is wrong ? we are ohio.co m Posted 17 hours ago. MunsterNo #1 wrongriki is a welfare addicted, food stamp loving right-wing nutjob ! No#2 Wrongriki has never had a real job much less a union job so it has no idea what a union is all about !The proof is when the fool calls me ‘dues exempt’ , the idiot cant seem to understand that once retired and inactive former members don't pay dues !No #3 There is NO SUCH THING as a fat cat but there are "corporate big wigs" ! There are officers of a international union who are responsible for thousands of members ,and by the very nature of the job are required to have high degrees to deal with company lawyers ! To summarize wrongriki is totally ignorant on this subject and refuses even to believe the Taft-Hartley act ! ! Posted 17 hours ago. R1KRA8"James McNally, vice president of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150. He receives nearly $115,000 a year even though at the time he retired, in 2008, he had not worked for the city in more than 13 years. He was only 51 when he started collecting a city pension. By the time he turns 78, he will have received roughly $4 million from the city laborers' fund." . . .

MunsterWell here you go but head , it isn't going to get anymore credible than the "Bureau of Labor Statistics" According to a January 2011 Bureau of Labor Statistics report, workers who belong to a union typically earn higher pay than non-union workers doing the same kind of job. Although it varies based on sector and occupation, the overall averages are striking. $917 = Median weekly earnings in 2010 of union members. $717 = Median weekly earnings in 2010 of non-union workers. That's a yearly difference in salary of $10,400 for union members vs. non-union members. Union members earn an average of $4.95 more per hour - which equates to a yearly difference of $10,300.

"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."
