What? Richard L Trumpka, president of the AFL-CIO was arrested during a hotel worker's protest? The Los Angeles Times reported on January 8, 2010 "Earlier this week, he was among those briefly arrested during a noisy protest outside a San Francisco Hilton, where management is enmeshed in difficult negotiations with the hotel workers union".
Compare and contrast Trumpka's actions and arrest in support of the union workers, with those of Operating Engineers, Local 68, President, and Administrator of the Local 68 Education Fund, Dennis J Giblin. Mr. Giblin was arrested January 21, 2009, on a criminal Complaint charging him with receiving kickbacks and embezzling from the Local 68 education fund, Acting U.S. Attorney Ralph J. Marra, Jr. announced.

Operating Engineers local 139 show Interest in tellfred.com
Thank you Operating Engineers local 139, for showing so much recent interest in tellfred.com. In fact, someone(s) who had access to local 139's online internet connection, for over 2 hour and 46 minute period worth of interest in tellfred.com ----------during working hours? The visits, about 40 pages, happened from about 1:30 to 4:15 pm on Monday, February 8, 2010. Is that during working hours?
But it gets better. Operating Engineers, local 139, Pewaukee, WI attorneys, Baum & Sigman, made multiple visits to tellfred.com Feb 4, Feb 5, and twice on Feb 8. To the guys and gals at the Chicago law firm of Baum & Sigman, thanks for your support, or at least interest in tellfred.com and the rank and file members in good standing of Operating Engineers, local 139, Pewaukee, WI.
I guess there's interest in a blog where Bill Maher and abusive relationships are found in the same sentence, in the same video.

$ 1 7 2,1 0 3 part 1
Total reported compensation package for a Wisconsin union boss for a year. That's for 1 year. For 2008.
Alright I think you get the picture, well part of the picture. The rest of the picture - $1 7 2, 1 0 3 is the total compensation package that Terry "Gooch" McGowan, Union Boss of Local 139 Operating Engineers received for 2008. More correctly, that's what Gooch McGowan and Local 139 President Luciani reported to the Department of Labor, that Gooch received in 2008 in his compensation package from the International Union of Operating Engineers.
A Milwaukee, WI area newspaper in February 2008 pointed out, that while "A typical member of Operating Engineers Local 139 pulls in about $50,000 a year. The man elected to run the union -- which represents those working cranes, bulldozers and other heavy machinery -- is paid what any three rank-and-file members might collectively take home: $160,000+ a year." Authors Robert Herguth and Rich Rovito went on to say "Drawing from Local 139's coffers, business manager Terry McGowan's pay seems more in line with what business executives get. In other words, the people who union officials often rail against."
Well, the Business Journal is a lot off on the money - like $1 2, 1 0 3 off. And Gooch's compensation package is 3 . 4 times more than the median Wisconsin operator earns. But the authors, make their point that the money Gooch McGowan is paid came from Local 139 members who eat dirt sandwiches during their lunch break if they even get a break.
