The union I worked for had an employee from a community college that worked full time on union business. I worked in close proximity to him, and basically he spent his time on the phone with college staff about not getting along with some colleague. All at the taxpayer’s expense.

I didn’t even know this was a “thing”. No wonder these cronies are crying bloody murder about the swamp being drained. They have so much to lose!
The only union I ever belonged to represented clerks in a grocery store where I worked in the early 80’s.
Instead of the then-minimum wage of $3.35 union membership bought me a whole $3.50.
In return I had to pay $40 in dues each pay, which was $80 per month.
The President of our local union ended up going to prison from embezzling from the local. AND he was related to the owner of our store.
(so why did I stay?......dozens of female cashiers on-staff, all around my age)
