Customer Reviews

Must read - union agenda is frightening

I found this book to be very informative. Everyone should read this book especially if you are a union member. The extent to which union bosses are using members's dues to corrupt the political system are very disturbing. Contrary to what one reviewer posted, Linda Chavez cites a variety of sources including union publications.

Seen with my own eyes

I have worked for a union for more than 10 years and many of the things this lady talks about I have seen with my own eyes. I have been forced to "volunteer" for candidates and give money to people I don't support. Her book tells it like it is.

A must read for union members

If union members want more money in their pockets, this book makes it clear that the first place they should look is to the 80% of their dues that are not being spent for their benefit. And moderate Democrat politicians have a chance to reform their party before it implodes. The points are crystal clear. A fact-based, easy and compelling read.

Union's Dirty Secrets Exposed for All to See

This book is an excellent resource for cold hard facts about the cozzy relationship between organized labor's leaders and the Democratic party. If you ever thought that a union's national leadership was on your side you may very well rethink that after reading this book and learning what they are really up to. The stories exposed coupled with hard facts and excellent statistics make this book a "must read."

Very informative book

This book is a well-written account of the considerable influence unions have on the US political system. Unfortunatly for American workers - this influence is spent lining the pockets of union bosses. Linda Chavez once again comes through with an important book that will shake up the status quo.
