What do you think of these union presidents increase in salaries while their base lose their jobs?

As a group, the top 25 union bosses saw their pay rise on average by 88.2 percent between 2000 and 2011. By contrast, compensation for corporate CEOs during that period decreased by 37.7 percent or 44.5 percent, depending upon whether stock options are included.

The highest increase was Michael Sullivan President of the Sheet Metal Workers Union with a big 341% increase.

It gets worse, read this entire article from the Washington Examiner

Update:

Are they in it for the workers, or are they in it for themselves?

Update 2:

    The union bosses have ALWAYS been in it for themselves. They feed the workers the union bullshit story about being brothers and all that crap and steal them blind. A union boss is nothing more than a leach sucking blood from it's host.

    Apples and Oranges - that article is obviously a hit job.

    It compares the earnings of ALL unionized employees against a carefully selected 10 Union Leaders, not all.

    And CEO earnings did NOT decline.

    Get a better news provider: The Washington Examiner is a free daily newspaper published in Springfield, Virginia, and distributed in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. It is owned by Denver billionaire Philip Anschutz.[2]

    But you are ok with CEO seeing the same 341% raise from 3 million to 9 million plus millions in more bonuses and perks huh?
