Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) has asked House Education and Labor Committee Chairman Bobby Scott (D-Va.) three times to schedule a hearing on union corruption but has yet to get a response. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has finalized a new rule meant to close a loophole used to the advantage of union officials.
“It’s clear union leaders feel almost no accountability to the workers whose dues fund their organizations and salaries,“ Foxx, the ranking Republican on the panel, recently told The Epoch Times. ”That is why I formally requested three different times that the committee hold a hearing to investigate union corruption, all of which have been ignored by the Democrat majority, the same Democrat majority that passed legislation earlier this year that would make unions more powerful but less accountable.”
