A scene from Madison, as a union protester takes a break.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Largest unions pay leaders well, give extensively to Democrats
Union treasuries - filled by dues paid by union members - not only fund programs benefiting union members and their families. The money they collect also pays six-figure compensation packages for labor leaders and provides millions of dollars for Democratic causes and candidates.
And that last sentence is the sole reason the left is in conniptions over Governor Walker's plans to weaken, just a bit, the power of public-sector unions.
