Since only someone really interested would wade through this stuff, here’s the 2008 Department of Labor LM-2 filed by the UAW:

Scroll down to section 11 and you’ll see that Mr. G is knocking down about 175k a year in total comps.
The other officers of the union are all above 125k a year.
Section 12 has Employees of the Union, (as opposed to rank and file), compensation…some of them ain’t doin too badly either.
Now keep in mind that this is only for the UAW’s American branch…these bozos might get chunks of dough from their branches in Canada and Mexico
If you’re a rank and file member of a union, take a traipse through the DoL’s search engine and sniff out your own crew, I can almost guarantee that you’ll find affiliates that you’ve never heard of and locals that nobody belongs to, and all of them pony up into the big kitty at the headquarters level in one way or another.
