Is Big Labor Anti-Worker?

Union leaders are quick to accuse CEOs of not sharing the wealth with their employees. But what happens when the employers accused of exploiting workers are unions?

This is the charge that hourly employees are now leveling against Richard Trumka’s AFL-CIO and Mary Kay Henry’s Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The workers, who range from janitors to accountants staffing the Washington offices of these unions, are themselves represented by the Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU).
