Chicago Union Boss Scores Massive $158,000 Public Pension After Being Rehired For Only One Day

A retired Chicago labor leader secured a $158,000 public pension — about five times greater than what a typical retired public-service worker in Chicago makes — after being rehired for just one day on the city payroll, Business Insider reports.
According to The Chicago Tribune, Dennis Gannon will collect approximately $5 million in city pension funds during his lifetime.
Gannon started out in organized labor in 1973. He was 19 years old and made $6.95 an hour working for Streets and San as a steamroller engineer.
During the next 17 years, he worked his way into the role of hoisting engineer foreman, overseeing the use of heavy cranes at road construction sites at a salary of about $56,000. By 1990, Gannon had become a business agent with Local 150 of the International Union of Operating Engineers.
After he left city service, Gannon moved to take advantage of a law that allowed him to stay in the municipal pension fund. Records show that in April 1991, Gannon had Local 150′s business manager write a letter on his behalf making that request.
According to several reports, Gannon’s pension is so high that it exceeds federal limits and required Chicago’s pension fund to file special paperwork with the Internal Revenue Service to give it to him.
“I am extremely proud of my many years of service to the city of Chicago and the working men and women of organized labor,” Gannon wrote in a statement provided to The Chicago Tribune.
The report continues:
Gannon’s inflated pension is a prime example of how government officials and labor leaders have manipulated city pension funds at the expense of union workers and taxpayers. Like other labor leaders, he was able to take a long leave from a city job to work for a union and then receive a city pension based on a high union salary.
Terrance Stefanski, who oversees the city’s municipal pension fund, confirmed that the city helped Gannon get the inflated pension by hiring him for just one day. But he claims that he has “no control over city hiring and must follow the pension laws.”
“Once the city rehired him and he went on a leave of absence to work for the union, he was eligible under the law,” Stefanski said in an interview.
Streets and San officials provided a statement about Gannon’s one-day hiring: “This was a personnel matter that happened more than 16 years ago, and at this time we don’t have all of the details needed to determine exactly why these decisions were made.”
The Chicago Tribune’s investigation has revealed that Gannon’s inflated city pension is one of at least 23 handed out to union leaders who have retired from the city.
How legislation that created this pension perk for union leaders found its way into the state statutes–with no transparency or accountability whatsoever–is anybody’s guess.

The figures, which include stock, options, cash bonuses and other perks, were disclosed Friday as part of Goldman’s annual proxy statement. They were filed just a few hours before lawmakers in Washington were scheduled to hear testimony from one current chief executive and two former chiefs at three other firms about their sizable pay packages.

Posted on September 23, 2011 at 5:40pmGroup negotiation is not the real issue. UNIONS are the issue.
UNIONS are large CORPORATIONS, in, and of, themselves.
It is not a group of employees who are negotiating what is best for themselves.
It is a THIRD PARTY, who CLAIMS to represent the “members”, but, in reality, is representing ITS OWN INTERESTS above all else.
THIS IS WHY UNIONS DO NOT WORK.
If you want TRUE group negotiation,
require that there be a single union per employer…
require that unions not have any of their own employees,
but, rather, they are run by the employees themselves!
The result will be, the union will be run SOLELY for the benefit of the employees.

Posted on September 23, 2011 at 7:46pmThank you for your apology, Sportlock.
I did not and do not feel “disrespected”.
I just feel you are entitled to write however you wish, as I am likewise entitled.
Criticizing one another, especially for how well, or for how poorly they write, will NOT serve us to move the conversation / discussion forward.
Just a couple hours ago, I stood up for someone on theblaze.com when somebody else dismissed their opinion due to a misspelled word.
People are different. Ain’t it great!?!? Some spell better than others. Some write better than others. And, we all write differently. That does not make it right or wrong. There are some things that serve to make writing more or less readable, though.
As for me, I write like I read. When I want to add emphasis, I prefer to use bold or italic fonts. One of the shortcomings of theblaze.com’s use of WordPress is the limitations it places on postings. For now, this is what we all have, with which to work. So, my personal style in this situation, is to add emphasis with CAPS.
I make no apologies for it, nor will I alter my style for anyone.
I simply feel you have plenty to say that is PRODUCTIVE without spending your or my time criticizing something so insignificant as somebody’s style of writing.
Again, thanks for your apology.
No harm, no foul.

I believe the mindset of begrudging military pensions, is a hold-over from the cold war days, when the risk was much, much lower, and it was common for members of our military to enter at age 18, retire at age 38, and proceed to another corporate career where they earned a SECOND pension (those no longer exist, either). People who were busting their rears back then, as we all must today, with NO pension whatsoever, came to begrudge those who ended up with not one, but two pensions, while they never had the option to even earn ONE.

Posted on September 24, 2011 at 3:11pmI don’t think ANY governmental pension . . . especially Congress . . . should be more than ANY person who served their enlistment or was wounded. They should not have ANY benefit (i.e. medical) that is better than the retired military.
The difference with military “double-dipping” is that they did their SERVICE in the military and then WORKED for many years to qualify for social security. AND along the way they were probably responsible enough to put money into a retirement account.
If anyone wants the same benefits this is a free country (for the time being) go out and EARN it.
