>As mentioned below, the most recent Department of Labor financial disclosure filings are up for the United Food and Commercial Workers international union. And my, how the union bosses live, even when they’re away from home!

Last year the Center for Union Facts followed AFL-CIO union bosses out to a plush resort, where they crossed a picket line. This year, UFCW bosses lived it up at their members’ expense several times over:

• A whopping $589,585 to the Naples Grande Resort for the union bosses’ executive committee
• $35,822 more for an executive board meeting at the Buena Vista Palace in Florida
• And $59,890 for meetings at the MGM Grand Hotel
