Is there any evidence that non-members contribute to union treasuries? I
have never heard of it, but maybe I am missing something. FRANK

I am wondering about this provision:
 
The remaining provisions leave unions and other labor groups largely  
unaffected, since union member dues don’t trigger the disclosure
threshold.  
Furthermore, affiliate groups, such as local union chapters, are
exempted from  
disclosure when transferring below $50,000 dollars to parent groups.
 
So George Soros gives $49,000 to 10 locals unions who then give $49,000
to  
their national union to do an ad buy for $490,000 -- all Soros money. 
How  
is this lack of disclosure justified by the supporters of DISCLOSURE?
