[AP] People interviewed by federal agents report the FBI and the Labor Department are investigating prominent labor leader Andy Stern as part of a corruption probe involving the Service Employees International Union.
You remember Andy “power of persuasion/persuasion of power” Stern?
OR *clicky*clicky*
Here’s Andy “Petition and Punch" Stern on the student-loan dealio.
Stern left his post two years before the end of his term, saying he wanted to focus more on his personal life.
“personal life”? rly…
He remains a member of President Barack Obama’s deficit commission and a highly influential figure in the White House, where he was one of the most frequent visitors last year. He is also a research fellow at Georgetown University and a paid consultant for the SEIU.
... a 2006 contract in which Stern received a $175,000 advance from Simon & Schuster to write the book “A Country That Works.”
...how Stern and union officials approved payments to Alejandro Stephens, former president of the SEIU local that represents Los Angeles County government workers
...
Doesn’t really sound like much fire for all this smoke [unless I’m missing something?] So what’s up with that?
Corruption in the SEIU?
