More Corrupt Union Antics

[general35]

2 Illinois Union Reps with no prior teaching experience served a single day of subbing to receive a 6 figure annual teachers pension. Their annual salary before the pension was $245,000 a year and they will now receive an addition to that, a $108,000 annual pension when they retire for a single day of work. Reason 12,098,000 why states are going broke. This is all completely legal mind you, its just wrong. it's unfortunate because this money should be going to the teachers and its not. their own reps are stealing from them and then the propogandize the so-called wealthy who are not paying enough in taxes.

That has to be corruption. How can you work for a government organization for one day and qualify for a 100K+ pension? who is going to occupy the government offices for this outrage?

It was all explained in the link.

There is no explanation that justifies what is happening.

Union reps stealing from the teachers they are paid to represent. Glad to see they are looking out for the "middle class".

It is interesting that the unions have joined with the Occupy Wall Street group, when an investigation into union salaries and benefits for the top officers would show something very similar to the corporate salary structures that they are protesting. Union pension agreements (see auto industry) are just one of the major causes for the financial problems of various industries.

stunning.......sadly, the tip of the iceberg.

If the OWS people were protesting this BS as well, they would pick up a bunch of new followers.

I'm shocked only two people took advantage. We get the government we deserve.
