Union paid millions to companies with family ties : An SEIU spokeswoman says there's nothing improper about the payments

The L.A. Times reports:

The Service Employees International Union's headquarters has paid millions of dollars to consulting firms, political nonprofits and individuals with family ties and other personal connections to some of the labor organization's top officers, records show.

One company partly owned by a union director also received more than $1 million in SEIU consulting fees.

Imagine that.
