Big Labor Sees Big Pushback:

Union leaders have long betrayed the trust of their members. Political contributions made without members' consent and other misuses of dues that end up being more of a harm than a help. But now steps in the first real union watchdog website. The Center for Union Facts has just launched http://www.unionfacts.com/, where users can see where all their union dues are going, to which candidates, which private interests, and more.

Union chiefs spent hundreds of millions of dollars of their members’ money to elect Democrats and push a radical social agenda in the 2004 election, even though 40% of their own members voted for President Bush. That’s just one of the millions of facts publicized by the newly-launched Center for Union Facts, which ran full-page ads in today’s Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. Most people can’t see the real face of the union leadership, but it’s time the public knows the facts.
Did you know that...

greedy union personnel have been forced to give back $400 million in racketeering investigations in just the last five years?

labor leaders have been tied to more than 9,000 violent events over the last thirty years? That means nearly every working day of the year, unions threaten, beat up, or otherwise attack Americans that don’t kowtow to Big Labor.

Now there’s someone to provide facts to union members and non-members alike. Today, the Center for Union Facts officially launched its website www.unionfacts.com -- with 3.8 million facts union leaders don’t want you to know.
