 <title>Despite AWOL Bush Adminstration, Court Clears Path for Breakthrough Against Union Kickback Schemes in Federal Contracting</title>
 <link>http://www.nrtw.org/en/blog/despite-awol-bush-adminstra-08062008</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
In a breakthrough appellate court ruling, Iron Worker Union officials can now be sued under anti-trust laws for running a union kickback scheme known as &amp;quot;job targeting&amp;quot; which has diverted $500 million in workers wages over the past 5 years.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Job targeting schemes are primary tools used to secure a Big Labor cartel over billions of taxpayer dollars used in federal contracting (as well as many private construction projects). They are used to freeze non-union contractors out of getting work, while lining the union bosses&#039; pockets with the wages of construction workers.
&lt;/p&gt;
