Illinois Labor Union ‘Leaders’ Are Stealing Millions from Taxpayers
Last month, the Chicago Tribune broke the story of a union leader who was re-hired for one day at the City of Chicago and then retired with a $158,000 city pension. Yesterday, the Tribune broke the story of the union leader accruing three pensions off of the same work credit: a city pension, a local union pension and a national union pension. Combined, his annual pension income exceeds $400,000- with anticipated lifetime benefit of $9 million.
There is debate as to whether these rotten scams could even be legal in Illinois! But, we’ve discovered that sweetheart union leader access into our Illinois state pension system is an even larger scam.
On September 29th, we broke this story nationally on the third largest conservative talk radio program: 34 union leaders who are not government employees are draining nearly $340 thousand per month from the state teachers’ pension system.
