Sequester? Department Of Labor Using Taxpayer Money To Fund Labor Unions Worldwide
One world, with labor unions and redistribution for all…
Via Fox News:
Senate Republicans say the Labor Department appears to be spending millions in taxpayer dollars to establish labor unions and promote collective bargaining in foreign countries and are asking top Obama administration officials for a full audit.
The request was sent by Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, the leading Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, and Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, the top Republican on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
"At a time when our federal budget is deteriorating rapidly … it is troubling to us that the department appears to be spending millions of dollars of taxpayer funds to establish labor unions and promote collective bargaining in foreign countries," they said in a letter to acting Labor Secretary Seth Harris.
The purported activities were conducted by the agency's Bureau of International Labor Affairs.
The bureau for the past several years has purportedly made numerous awards — worth millions of dollars — to the United Nations, the Solidarity Center and other similar groups, "whose stated objective is to help establish labor unions in foreign countries," the senators said.
