    The Union's President
    Clueless has called himself the most pro-union President in history . But as with most things involving President Quid Pro Joe ,there are strings attached .
    Labor Unions gave him $27.5 million in 2020 to be his puppet master .

    Some would say he disappointed them when he negotiated a settlement of the Railroad Union threats to strike . He was not able to get them taxpayer money for their sick leaves .

    That was early December .

    So to keep his bona fides he announced shortly after that taxpayer money to the tune of $36 billion would be allotted from the American Rescue Plan to bail out the Teamsters Union's pensions .

    Spend $27.5 million ;get back $36 billion . Not a bad exchange .

    How could it happen that a strong and able workforce voted repeatedly for union leadership who's history is replete with ties to organized crime ? They did not know that their dues were being pilfered and their pensions mismanaged ? And where was the government watchdogs in the Dept of Labor all this time ? What was their payoff ?

    I can ALMOST understand why public service pensions are taxpayer's responsibility . But how is it that taxpayers ,most of whom have NO pensions to fall back on ;and are self funding their retirements ,are responsible for the poor decisions of private Union pension fund managers ?

    They only did it because the feds had 36 bil laying around with nothing useful to do with it.
