A Roster Of Big Labor Union "Leaders" Salaries

AFT president Randi Weingarten is one of the 100 highest paid union bosses

 EQUALITY FOR SOME: 472 UNION OFFICIALS PAID MORE THAN $250K IN 2013

Union Officials/Organizers seem to do no real work. They appear to be parasites who occasionally jump off of their host (the employer)  long enough to rally the unsuspecting into making more demands and/or bullying them into "joining" the union. The sole reason for engaging in these "activities" seems to be to increase the organization coffers so as to pad union boss paychecks and to contribute to the Communist, er, Democrat party.

The following excerpt from The Illinois Review will be ah, enlightening--to say the least.

"By Jason Hart - 

While unions call for tax and minimum-wage increases to fix “income inequality,” reports to the U.S. Department of Labor reveal 472 union officers and employees were paid more than $250,000 in 2013.

In all, America’s 100 highest-paid union officers and employees received $54.8 million taken from workers last year.

Union officials lived even higher on the hog in fiscal 2013 than the year before, when 428 union officers and employees were paid more than $250,000 and the top 100 received compensation totaling $52.1 million.

The latest list of the 100 highest-paid union bosses is led by employees of the MLB, NBA, and NFL players’ unions — unsurprising, given the prevalence of seven-figure contracts among the professional athletes they represent.

However, dozens of union officers and employees — whose paychecks come from teachers, government workers and blue-collar laborers — are also paid $350,000 or more.

American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten was paid $543,150 in 2013, while National Education Association (NEA) President Dennis Van Roekel was paid $411,172."
