Washington, DC (April 13, 2005)<\/strong> \u00af The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation\u2019s president today filed a request with the Department of Labor (DOL) asking the agency to investigate and prosecute a top AFL-CIO official for violating a federal disclosure law intended to reveal potential conflicts of interest by union officials. <\/p>\n

Foundation attorneys have discovered that the AFL-CIO\u2019s Director of International Affairs, Barbara Shailor, has never filed the mandatory union disclosure forms on which she must disclose compensation received by her husband, Robert Borosage, from the \u00abCampaign for America’s Future\u00bb (CAF), an organization which he founded and leads. She also must disclose that her husband\u2019s organization has received at least $130,000 in payments from the AFL-CIO in recent years.<\/p>\n

Aside from exposure to potential criminal prosecution, the apparent failure to follow federal disclosure law opens up Shailor, Borosage, and CAF to charges of hypocrisy in light of the national notoriety Borosage and CAF recently received in vehemently denouncing Representative Tom DeLay (R-TX) for alleged unethical behavior.<\/p>\n

Under the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), union officers like Shailor must file annually an \u201cLM-30\u201d form to disclose potential conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe workers \u2013 whose dues collected in many cases as a condition of employment, pay Ms. Shailor\u2019s salary and the AFL-CIO\u2019s contributions to her husband\u2019s organization \u2013 are entitled, by law, to know how their money is being spent and whether there has been any self-dealing by union officials,\u201d said Mark Mix, president of the Foundation. <\/p>\n

Responding to an extensive wave of union corruption, the U.S. Congress held extensive hearings in 1959, which resulted in passage of the LMRDA. Also known as the Landrum-Griffin Act, the LMRDA requires that among other things, unions, their officers, and key employees must annually disclose certain financial information.<\/p>\n

Penalties for willful violation of the LMRDA include up to a $100,000 fine and up to one year in jail. Union officials may also be barred from holding office or even being a union employee for up to 13 years for violating the LMRDA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
