A national labor union dumped $778 thousand into the We Are Wisconsin PAC just one week before recall elections take place, according to finance documents reviewed by the MacIver News Service.
The AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education Treasury Account sent the money on Tuesday, July 5, according to Government Accountability Records.
This followed on the heels of another contribution from a Washington-based union. The “AFSCME – WI Special Account” sent $350 thousand to We Are Wisconsin on July 1.
