Bill McMorris of the Washington Free Beacon reports that a new analysis of union financial disclosure forms reveals that Big Labor spent more than $2 billion on political activity during the 2018 midterm election cycle.
The findings, issued by the National Institute for Labor Relations Research (NILRR), show that "Union officials spent $1.37 billion directly from union treasuries (filled with forced dues and fees) on politics, dwarfing the reported combined political spending of George Soros, the Koch Brothers, and Hollywood during the same period." More money not spent from union treasuries brought the total number to "$2,006,441,571 in union political expenditures."
Stan Greer, the author behind the report, told the Free Beacon, "Big Labor is increasingly turning its focus away from workplace matters and more and more towards buying political influence."
