Union Management Scandal - Teachers Union

[LovetoGiveRoses]

From Today's Washington Times:

These are some dedicated shoppers. Anyone care for fur, jewels, new clothes?

The federal investigation began after WTU officials uncovered unjustified increases in members' dues. That probe, in turn, led to notification of WTU's parent union, the American Federation of Teachers, and that led to the resignation of then-WTU President Barbara Bullock, her key aide Gwen Hemphill and then-Treasurer James Baxter. A fourth union employee was fired.

What's been truly startling in the case is the list of expensive jewels, fine furs, designer clothing, and other high-priced goods and services that the three WTU officials reportedly paid for with teachers' dues. Moreover, the union employees aren't believed to be the only ones involved in the scheme. The affidavit names relatives and friends of Ms. Bullock and Mrs. Hemphill, and the tax preparer who reportedly tried to mislead the IRS is named as well.

On behalf of REDWAVE, let me clearly state...

Under a Trotsky-style of Communism, the watchers of the masses would not exploit their labor.
