[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2011775, member: 1294"] I've got a couple of buddies in Tulsa that are union plumbers, they told me about their union buying a resort several years ago. Then there's the United Auto Workers Union and apparently others... [Check in to the luxury $187 million Westin Diplomat Hotel on the beach outside Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and you’ll be impressed by sumptuous, art deco features, hotel suites overlooking the ocean, flowing fountains, waterfalls in its infinity swimming pool, the plush green golf course and the top-notch restaurants. It’s a place even Donald Trump might envy. You might also be impressed that this opulent hotel is owned by a labor union, and is frequently used for union junkets, government documents show. As is the $15.4 million Hillcrest Golf Club in Saint Paul, Minn. As is the $33 million lakeside resort and golf club in Onaway, Mich., owned by the United Auto Workers Union, a resort now hemorrhaging millions of dollars at a time of auto bailouts and auto job losses....] [url]http://www.foxbusiness.com/government/2012/07/05/union-bling-union-junkets-1969452526/[/url] [/QUOTE]
