For what it's worth, the AFLCIO doesn't list themselves in their list. Their CEO, Richard Trumka, makes over $300K/year... More than 5x the average worker, and he got a $50K raise in the past 3 years while his memberships incomes lagged.<p>How much does the Economic Policy Institute pay him to be on the board of directors?<p>How much is his net worth?<p>How is it possible that the AFL/CIO represents their membership, when 100% of 2010 political contributions went to Democrats, and none to Republicans? It's not even statistically possible that it MIGHT be representative.
