AFSCME has a bridge to sell you
By Wally EdgeThe American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees has sent nearly 100 staffers to Nevada to help Hillary Clinton, causing Culinary Workers Local 226 head D. Taylor – since last week a Barack Obama supporter – to complain the AFSCME might be violating some election laws. The Federal Election Commission allows unions to communicate only with their own members on union time, and AFSCME has about 3,000 members in Nevada. It’s hard to believe each staffer is spending their day talking to thirty people.
