Celebrating the Union (Leaders)
As Deroy Murdock points out, union members might find it very interesting to know just how their leaders are spending the dues they take from hard working men and women.

Many years ago, my dad managed a chain of gas stations. When tanker deliveries came in, he would ask drivers how in the world they kept supporting Jimmy Hoffa as Teamsters president given his shady associations. Their answer generally was, "As long as he keeps getting us big raises, we don't care what kind of guy he is."
Now that union jobs are fast dwindling, wages being cut and union leadership cooperating with management to keep as many jobs as possible, that reason is no longer valid.
Records of union leaders' mishandling dues are available, but I've never known a member to take the time to read them. Like taxes, dues are usually withheld from paychecks monthly, and the pain gradual. Like boiling that proverbial frog. A little at a time.
