WASHINGTON — People interviewed by federal agents report the FBI and the Labor Department are investigating prominent labor leader Andy Stern as part of a corruption probe involving the Service Employees International Union.

Two organized labor officials met with federal agents this summer to answer questions about Stern's role in approving money to pay the salary of an SEIU leader in California who performed no work and a book contract that Stern landed in 2006.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the investigation.

Stern abruptly resigned as president of the 2.2-million member SEIU in April. \

And no doubt because they feared for their lives.

Good observation. But can Holder gum up the works?

It looks as though that Mr. affirmative action Holder could f*ck up a one car funeral.

One thing is clear: Service Employees International Union President Andrew Stern holds sway at the White House, where he’s listed for 22 visits—the top number on the logs.

SEIU is corrupt to the core. Of course, it’s ‘Rat paradise.

I recall seeing (I’ll try to find it) something on a splinter movement trying to break away from SEIU into a new union..... I’ll bet that’s being led by people who know just how corrupt Andy Stern & co. are. Maybe if there are any real “investigative” journalists left they will get to the dissidents and find out what’s really going on. There must be plenty of people who “know too much” for Andy Stern to survive (or else they don’t survive).

I really don’t think Andy the Piggy has much to worry about. Holder is probably already on the case. I can see some FBI guys losing their jobs.

I think James O’Keefe still has some ammo he hasn’t fired. Between him and Breitbart, there may be some irrefutable evidence.

Your post has me wondering....if illegals can become legitimate members of ‘international’ unions like SEIU...doesn’t that mean union dues collected from them, as well as $$$ collected globally from international members, have always been illegally funneled into our elections?

No question---going on for years. For example, guess how amnesty whore Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill) got to be in Congress for nine terms.

REFERENCE The U.S. Department of Illegal Alien Labor; tax-funded PSA's to illegal aliens WRT fair wages
Townhall.com | June 25, 2010 | Michelle Malkin
FR Posted by Kaslin

President Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is supposed to represent American workers. What you need to know is that this longtime open-borders sympathizer has always had a rather radical definition of "American."

At a Latino voter registration project conference in Los Angeles many years ago, Solis asserted to thunderous applause, "We are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not."

That's right. The woman in charge of enforcing our employment laws doesn't give a hoot about our immigration laws -- or about the fundamental distinction between those who followed the rules in pursuit of the American dream and those who didn't.

While in Congress, she opposed strengthening the border fence, supported expansion of illegal alien benefits (including driver's licenses and in-state tuition discounts), embraced sanctuary cities that refused to cooperate with federal homeland security officials to enforce immigration laws, and aggressively championed a mass amnesty.

Solis was steeped in the pro-illegal alien worker organizing movement in Southern California and was buoyed by amnesty-supporting Big Labor groups led by the notorious SEIU.

She has now caused a Capitol Hill firestorm over her new taxpayer-funded advertising and outreach campaign to illegal aliens regarding fair wages: --SNIP--long read
