Default Unions all but bankrupt..

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1244...s_opinion_main

'We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama," declared Andy Stern last
month, and the president of the Service Employees International Union
wasn't exaggerating. The SEIU and AFL-CIO have been spending so much
on politics that they're going deeply into debt.

That news comes courtesy of federal disclosure forms that unions file
each year with the Department of Labor. The Bush Administration
toughened the enforcement of those disclosure rules, but under
pressure from unions the Obama Labor shop is slashing funding for such
enforcement. Without such disclosure, workers wouldn't be able to see
how their union chiefs are managing their mandatory dues money."

Look for the Union Label...
