    Department of Labor Wins Lawsuit for Pension Participants web posted at ufcw.net - Members for Democracy
    By now the majority of the working people have heard about the union equivalent to Enron, which is known as ULLICO (Union Labor Life Insurance Co.) ULLICO has become the acronym for deceit and dishonesty within organized labor and has shown the working people just how much the top leaders of labor have attempted to mirror the corporate world. They loved the corporate world so much and they wanted to be corporate CEOs so bad; they were willing to give up their members hard earned money just to fatten their personal bank accounts. Just take a look at this chart located on the PDU website and you'll see just how much the leaders benefitted. These leaders certainly send a clear message to the working people out there who are searching for a voice and who need an alternative in the work place! And these same leaders call the activists and union reformers harmful to the labor movement. Now that's absolutely priceless!
