Betrayal

Description

"Linda Chavez and fellow union expert Daniel Gray expose the corrupt bargain between the labor movement and the Democratic Party." "Chavez and Gray name names, exposing the many politicians who are in Big Labor's pocket - including the leading lights of the Democratic Patty. Betrayal also reveals: big labor's all-out efforts in the 2004 election, including how just one local union has launched a $35-million campaign to unseat President Bush; how corrupt union officials use members' hard-earned money to fund lavish lifestyles - and how their Democratic supporters let them get away with it; how unions flout the law by failing to report any of their political spending to the IRS; how a government report uncovered the Democrats' sellout to Big Labor - but how the unions and the Democrats sued to keep the report from going public; how the U.S. government lets unions practice legalized terrorism against American citizens; how public-employee unions extort concessions from the government and put Americans at risk by refusing to provide vital services like policing and firefighting; and how Americans now live under a system of legal apartheid - one set of rules for labor bosses, another for the rest of us."--BOOK JACKET.
