including the labor movement’s aim to invest $10 billion in pension fund assets in job-creating infrastructure projects over the next five years.

Hmm?,well I'm not in a union,but I always assumed these union pension fund assets were in a lockbox.

It's more like a washing machine.

Dirty tax dollars in, "clean" initiative money and campaign contributions come out.

It hardly even looks like my money anymore!!

Unionized government employees now far outnumber private sector union members, in the U.S. today.

The AFT has been retrofitting its headquarters building in Washington, D.C., to become LEED Silver certified

LEED certification is pretty much a joke when it comes to energy usage. Great in theory, but in practice LEED-certified buildings arguably use on average more energy than un-certified buildings.

This is very largely because they are mostly certified based on design criteria, not performance. And energy-savings is only one group of the points that are available.

Well, let’s see now, the Unions own a big chunk of General Motors, General Motors still owes Obama 50 BILLION dollars, and now “ - - - the labor movement’s aim to invest $10 billion in pension fund assets in job-creating infrastructure projects over the next five years.”

Okay, that figures out to be a loss of 2 Billion dollars a year from the Unions Pension Fund, and a loss of value from the GM stock that the Unions own.

BTW, if the Unions could decree that no one could retire for the next five years - - - . Nope, it won’t be profitable. It sure looks like the Unions are working themselves up to be “To Big To Fail.”
