Labor Pains   [John J. Miller]

Enjoy this press release from the Department of Labor (rec'd via email), because you won't see anything like it during the Age of Obama:

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) today announced its criminal enforcement data for December 2008.  During the month, OLMS obtained six convictions and nine indictments, and payments or orders of restitution totaled more than $57,700.  The office’s December results bring its totals for fiscal year 2009, which began on October 1, 2008, to 31 indictments, 24 convictions and payments or orders of restitution of $1,585,872. The bulk of the cases involved the embezzlement of union funds.  In addition, OLMS’ cumulative enforcement results from the beginning of fiscal year 2001 include 1,004 indictments, 929 convictions, and payments or orders of restitution of $93,110,576.
