Puttering around the internet I just found a cool website regarding union disclosure. At the top just pick the Union circle then choose the state then go to the bottom and hit submit. This will bring up all the unions in the state that you selected.
The reports for Montana showed the two main union leaders Eric Feaver from MEA-MFT and Jim McGarvey from the AFL-CIO. below are the salaries for both, this will astonish you especially when they say they are fighting for their members – now I know why – they need their members to believe they are working for their best interest – to pay for their large salaries.

Now I know why the Unions fight so hard to continue to increase government spending and raising taxes on the hard working people of Montana. The one thing that I didn’t discuss is the total funds and dues that they collected from those members forced to pay union dues. The unions use those dues to pay for tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to elect democrats that will agree to all of their legislative demands. Then they spend millions on staff salaries. Help get this information out so the union members can start asking the important questions to their union leaders – why are you making so much and what do you do to earn your pay?
