Not exactly breaking news, we’ve long known about the union bosses reeking hypocrisy, but a nice reminder none the less.
Via National Review:
The leaders of America’s unions have been very vocal lately in their criticism of Republicans and of business. According to them, Republicans care only about the wealthy and are unfairly targeting the workers of America with their reforms. These union leaders insist that only they can speak for regular Americans. In fact, their own salaries suggest that they have nothing in common with the average citizen. Here is a short list of some of the highest-earning, and most hypocritical, union presidents:
Michael J. Sullivan, general president of the Sheet Metal Workers’ International Association

Robert A. Scardelletti, international president of the Transportation Communications Union
