Firenze Sage: Legalized Theft [by union officials]

Union Officials Steal Pensions

A Chicago Tribune/WGN-TV investigation revealed in September and October the astonishing result that Illinois laws passed in 1997 and 2007 at the behest of organized labor have given at least three former union leaders lifetime government pensions as if they had been city or state employees, totaling an estimated drain on public budgets of about $7 million.

Two teachers’ union officials were allowed to teach exactly one day to qualify, and an engineers’ union official was hired for exactly one day, with the remainder of the service of the three having been on the payroll of the respective unions.

A September Tribune report estimated that perhaps 20 other union officials might have been eligible under similar provisions.

You know very well that these thieves were in the forefront of the mob demanding better teacher pay. And, behind the scene the usual corruption prevailed.
