Please join with the Alliance in making a financial contribution to help support American Crystal Sugar workers who have been locked out by a management determined to increase their health care costs and outsource their work.
American Crystal’s CEO Dave Berg, who was paid nearly $2.5 million in 2011, has publicly referred to his employees who belong to the Bakery workers union as a “cancerous tumor” on the company. The AFL-CIO has launched a nationwide consumer boycott of American Crystal Sugar products.

How much is the head of their union paid. I bet it is a lot more than its members. My guess is any post not supportive will be deleted but I am no longer sympathetic to unions. When I was young I worked in the steel mills of Pittsburgh. Working a midnight shift on a coke wharf I noticed as the shift started that there were three light bulbs burned out. I did what any reasonable and sane person would do, I changed them for new bulbs. I got sent home because that was an electrician's job. Did not seem to matter that he did not come in until 8:00 am.
Richard Trumka has a compensation package of $406,817. His number two, Arlene Holt makes almost $300K. The top six leaders all have a compensation package of $200K plus.
