Rightwing Attack on Union's "Enron" November 2002 Archives Sounds like top AFL-CIO leaders -- the hate figures of rightwingers like Murdoch-- are hiding their misdeeds. But it really turns out that the central figures in the Ullico scandal are an old union hack, Robert Georgine, and Bush's favorite union guy, the Carpenters Douglas McCarron. And check out this paragraph:
Details of the Thompson report - said to be scathing about Georgine - were leaked to a newspaper while Georgine reportedly was trying to keep it secret over the objections of AFL-CIO President John Sweeney.There are still pockets of corruption around unions (but actually very few at this point), but the GOP should keep their mouths closed, since those areas, such as the Carpenters leadership or the Teamsters, are the most likely to support Bush and his policies.
