Six Union Bigwigs Condemning One Percent Earned $2.3M in 2015

The six union leaders who took the stage on Monday at the Democratic National Convention to condemn the richest one percent took home nearly $2.3 million in total compensation in 2015, according to federal labor filings.

Assembled delegates heard from the presidents of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU), National Education Association (NEA), American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), AFL-CIO, and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) on the first night of the convention. Each labor leader earned well over six figures, salaries paid for by the dues of their hardworking members.

They want more for themselves but don't want to say where it will come from, except more taxes.

It came from the workers from state agencies like that of Maryland where O'Malley made them paid a percentage of their paychecks for the union to back them. All state employees had to pay these fees whether they wanted to or not.Can you imagine all the money being brought in???
