Millionaire union honchos are speaking out about income inequality even as they collect six-figure salaries that dwarf those of the average CEO, according to Watchdog.org.
Top labor leaders, including American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka, and AFSCME leader Lee Saunders, lamented income disparity at the Ohio AFL-CIO’s state convention. Each union bigwig takes home more than $250,000 per year in salary and perks.
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten portrayed herself and other AFL-CIO leaders as the voices of the working class, although AFT paid her $2,022,274 taken from union members and forced “fair share” fee payers between 2010 and 2013. [...]
Forced AFSCME dues continue their movement from Ohio taxpayers to government workers to Lee Saunders’ bank account. Saunders was paid $350,058 in 2013. [...]
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who was paid $298,542 during the union coalition’s 2013 fiscal year, called for more wealth redistribution from job creators. [...]
Union salary levels dwarf those of private sector businessmen. The average CEO earns less than $180,000 per year in salary, according to federal labor statistics. Economist Mark Perry has pointed out that the divisive rhetoric of inequality warriors may help them earn big checks from their members’ money, but it will not do much to create jobs and dynamic companies.
