The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is planning to cut 30 percent of its budget by Jan. 1, 2018, the end of President-elect Donald Trump's first year in office.

I suspect she means they need to cut back because the money spigot from Wash will be turned off.

A 30% cut sounds good for a starter. Let’s build on that, quickly.

I would say she should be planning on closer to 90%. Dues should no longer be collected via paychecks

I’d certainly imagine that not one cent of the 30% cut will affect SEIU Management payroll, perks and pensions, however.

It’s what they do.

Soros must be tapped out after his UUUGE Hillary flop. He and his Leftist groups have hard times ahead without a lackey in the White House giving them taxpayer dollars.

They are just trying to make their decline look like it is their idea. “We were thinking about committing suicide way before Trump came along...” Yeah right!

The first union that should go is AFSGE. Their entire purpose is to fleece American taxpayers while supporting larger government. All done with taxpayer money. Just calculate the dues paid each month then take out twice that amount and provided it to fight union fleecing.

Workers are starting to realize you can’t have good jobs without viable companies, and, unions just skim off the top. Voting for Bolshies assures labor issues are in law and stifle innovation.

Maybe they are worried that someone will be examining the books. Perhaps “cutting the budget” just means “restructuring the money laundering system”.
