Regulator of Unions Will Keep Getting Paid By Unions
What could go wrong? From Heritage (h/t Hot Air, Instapundit):
Financial disclosure documents filed by two of President Obama’s illegal appointments to the National Labor Relations Board show that one will continue to receive payments from a major labor union during his time on the board.
Richard Griffin, the former general counsel for the International Union of Operating Engineers, will receive regular payments under two different IUOE pension plans. The payment amounts are not listed on the disclosure form. He will also receive a single lump sum payment equal to three weeks of salary (one week for each of the three years since he enrolled in the plan). Griffin’s annual salary as the IUOE’s general counsel was $376,778, according to the disclosure form.
This appointment brought to you by the guy who, when campaigning for president, ran in large part on promises of ethics reform. The hypocrisy writes itself.
