\nIn case you missed it, earlier this month the Washington Examiner<\/i> reported<\/a> that from 2005 to 2008, Big Labor’s big money boys have funneled nearly $10 million from forced-dues-fueled union treasuries to the scandal-ridden Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (popularly known as "ACORN") and its affiliates.\n<\/p>\n

\nAccording to the report, leading the way is the scandal-plauged<\/a> Service Employees International Union (SEIU), doling out a whopping $7.4 million; followed by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), the Longshore and Warehouse Union, the Communication Workers of America (CWA), and the National Education Association (NEA) unions. The Examiner also notes<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\n\t\tSEIU Locals 100 and 880 were listed as allied organizations on ACORN\u2019s web site until The Examiner highlighted this connection.\n\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tLM-2\u2019s show over $600,000 in contributions between these SEIU locals and other ACORN operations. A 2007 LM-2 form shows SEIU Local 880, which is active in Illinois and Minnesota, donated $60,118 to ACORN for "membership services." Organized labor has kicked it back in the form of gifts and grants to ACORN totaling $2.4 million, according to the disclosure forms.\n\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tACORN activists have participated in highly aggressive, well-coordinated anti-corporate campaigns across the country unofficially called \u201cMuscle for Money\u201d<\/a> funded by SEIU.\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nIn other words, SEIU union kingpins shelled out top dollar for ACORN activists to conduct corporate shakedown campaigns, with tactics that include crashing<\/a> business meetings and harassing<\/a> company officials and their families at their own homes, to extract corporate donations<\/a> and intimidate employers into accepting the Big Labor syndicate’s compulsory unionism agenda (which prominently includes forcing the companies’ workers into union ranks).\n<\/p>\n

\nOne must wonder if the workers who are "represented" by SEIU union bosses are even aware that their dues are funding a "mob-style ‘protection’ racket<\/a>."\n<\/p>\n
