Gee, you think Obama has something to hide considering his close ties to Union bosses? Andy Stern and Richard Trumka have no comment. The Daily Caller<http://dailycaller.com/2010/12/21/labor-department-fails-to-release-union-corruption-tracking-report/>reports: *The Office of Labor Management<http://dailycaller.com/2010/12/21/labor-department-fails-to-release-union-corruption-tracking-report/#> Statistics (OLMS) was supposed to release an annual report tracking labor unions and evidence of corruption in union leadership in January 2010 but still hasn’t released the document*. OLMS, which falls under the Department of Labor, *has released no such tracking report since George W. Bush’s administration*, something that has the conservative nonprofit organization Americans for Limited Government (ALG) up in arms. ALG filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the 2009 report, and *OLMS denied the group’s request by saying it needed more time to complete the report*. *Originally, however, those reports were publicly available on the OLMS website<http://www.dol.gov/olms/regs/compliance/OLMS_Annual_Reports.htm> *. Have to mention that denials of FOIA requests<http://scottystarnes.wordpress.com/2010/12/12/supreme-court-to-crack-down-on-obamas-foia-excemptions/> are up under Obama. Change we can believe in? The report would tabulate the number of cases nationwide of *union leader prosecution, the amount of funds they embezzle and the misuse of union funds. It also would keep track of indictments.* Those statistics do exist elsewhere, as criminal and most civil court proceedings become public record after the cases close, but they’re difficult to track down as they’re in courthouses all over the country. The OLMS annual reports<http://dailycaller.com/2010/12/21/labor-department-fails-to-release-union-corruption-tracking-report/#> kept track of that information, allowing people to access it easily. ALG’s current head of research, Don Todd, who led OLMS during the Bush administration, told The Daily Caller* he doubts it would be too difficult for the Obama administration to release that information, as they’re supposed to keep track of it all year long.* He also said that this *administration’s failure to release the report is “freakishly incompetent.” *He suspects politics is to blame. “It’s got to be a political decision,” Todd said in a phone interview. “You know, I ran the agency during the Bush administration, and it’s the career people that put the thing together. So, the fact that it’s not out is a political decision.” Now what do they have to hide? Who is now in charge of the Office of Labor Management Statistics? That would be John Lund, an ex AFL-CIO official...aka...union goon. Department of Labor Secretary, Hilda Solis is also a union goon. I'm sure no corruption is happening with Big Labor and the Obama administration involved (wink).
