The Service Employees International Union spent $60.7 million to elect Barack Obama president. It is $85 million in debt, and two of its national pension plans are listed as "critical." Just as in health care, critical condition is very bad. From Politico:
Another jump from the media to politics: ABC News' deputy political director, Teddy Davis, emails that he's leaving the network to join SEIU's already-muscular communications and politics operation.The Washington Examiner's Mark Hemingway supplies the exclamation point:
He'll be Assistant Director of Communications at the giant union, he said, "working with the SEIU team on their political campaigns and policy agenda."
It's one thing to be liberal or Democratic, but being down with the SEIU's political agenda? Anyone who truly understands card check legislation and can defend it as good for the country is pretty out there. In any event, this helps explain why the media is largely uninterested in reporting on the SEIU and how the union's officers are robbing their members blind.Technorati tags:
