(The Center Square) â Organized labor spent more than $1.8 billion on political activity and lobbying in the U.S. during the 2020 election cycle, according to a new
study published by the National Institute for Labor Relations Research (NILRR). The majority of the money spent by labor, $1.4 billion, came straight from union dues taken from workers who can legally be fired if they refuse to fund union activities, the institute reports.
Of the total amount analyzed, more than $1.4 billion went to union general treasuries. More than $287 million was spent on government union state and local PACs and lobbying and $57 million was spent on 2020 federal PACs and committees.
