Does anyone know much about the UAW spending allegations?

11. Sad thing is, this is no different than a CEO or Capital Investment Firm...

...from destroying a company to reap the cash rewards. And the workers get shafted.

Top it off, it feeds the "Unions are corrupt meme" by the GOP and disenchants the union members. When I was part of a union, virtually none of the workers trusted the union. The shop stewards took the job not because they believed in the union, they wanted to protect their fellow workers. First time I saw the Business Agent, when it came time to vote on a new contract...and I didn't know he was the Business Agent. After they voted the contract down, boom, suddenly he pops up, talking to everyone on why they shouldn't strike during a recession and to be patient since its only a three year contract. Some good things did come out of it, increased contribution to the strike fund, union leaders were surprised the workers wanted this, go figure.

Later I heard they dumped the union and went with another and play hardball.
