FOXNews.com - Election Panel Dismisses Complaint Against SEIU, Clears Way for Union to Amass War Chest

FOXNews.com - Election Panel Dismisses Complaint Against SEIU, Clears Way for Union to Amass War Chest: "Despite a finding by the Federal Election Commission's general counsel that the Service Employees International Union violated election law when it required local affiliates to contribute to its political action fund, the FEC's full board nonetheless quietly voted to overrule its staff attorney and dismissed the original complaint -- clearing the way for the union to squeeze its locals to amass a $9 million war chest for the next election.

Moreover, the group that filed the complaint, the National Right to Work Foundation (NRWF), didn't receive a full explanation of the FEC's decision in the case until after 111 days had passed, ensuring that its right to file an appeal had lapsed."
