“Big Labor’s Payoff”

IBD: Unions: Those who give to politicians expect a lot in return. That’s clear from the budget-busting payoffs directed largely at organized labor by Democrats in Congress and the White House. A bill making its way through the Senate would bail out union pension funds to the tune of $165 billion. The bill’s author, Democratic Sen.
