A Union Boss has 16 ‘Assistants’ Who Were Paid up to $400,000 Last Year

Do members ever wonder where their dues go?

With only 51,002 members nationwide, the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers is one of the smallest unions in the AFL-CIO. Yet, its president, Newton Jones, is one of the highest paid union bosses in the United States.

Moreover, even though the union president has 16 ‘assistants’ who are paid from a low of $89,664 to a high of $416,326, he isn’t even the highest paid officer in the Boilermakers’ union.

The distinction of having the highest paid in the Boilermaker’s union goes to Dale Haggerty, Jr., an International Vice President in the union. His compensation in 2017 was $797,226.

The best benefits of union membership are always for those running the show. They’re like the heads of socialist governments; they live like kings while their subjects (rank and file) toil away.
