I worked for a Union and we never ever seen one red cent of taxpayer money so your post is false the members got a tax deduction on their Union dues and that was it. We had an outside Audit every year and any member was entitled to a copy of the Audit. We produced a monthly financial statement which the members were able to see. Maybe every Company that has share holders should do the same better still let the public see that to. Get your facts straight next time.
