    Labor Shows Business How to Deal With Scandal The business press had a field day with the AFL-CIO's mini-corporate scandal at the Ullico insurance company, where a bunch of labor leaders made insider deals. A bunch of rightwingers thought they had a rod to beat labor with and show "everybody does it", but instead it's shown the opposite.

    Top union leaders like John Sweeney have allowed no slack for those involved; the head of Ullico was ousted and tough new management brought it. Those who personally benefitted from the deals (even though it's not clear any laws were broken in this case) have been told to cough up the money.
