As you know, as a union member you can assert your Beck rights and the union can stonewall you 'till hell freezes over with absolutely no penalty. Plus, as I remember Beck (and I could be wrong) the DoL could have required unions to break out the cost of collective bargaining from the get-go and didn't. You virtually have to sue to get the info. to union members or enforceable.

But, you're right, no Republican has really used the power the Executive has against the unions. and the unions were still pretty chastened from the Reagan years.

They've now had 16 uninterrupted years to build their power and are about to cash in with Card Check and maybe even repeal of the "right to work" provision in the Labor-Management Relations Act. There isn't a union in the Country whose dues structure could withstand Constitutional scrutiny and yet they were unmolested for two full terms. A few visits to union headquarters by FBI agents a year or so ago and this election would have been a very different thing. not turning the USDOJ and USDOL on the unions.

They send their employees to help with democratic candidates in elections. The union stranglehold on the US, as we see in the destruction of the auto industry, not a healthy thing. But how to break it? I bet that Gov. B's dealings are the tip of the iceberg- or spear, if you will. and from what I know from employees of the union, extremely intimate with democratic party policitcs.
