Carpenters union pays its own protesters less than $20,000 a year

The New York Post reports:
The city’s carpenters union has been protesting developers who don’t pay wages of nearly $50 an hour — but its own workers who stage the demonstrations don’t make much more than minimum wage, The Post has learned.

Three employees of the District Council of Carpenters who were protesting outside a developer’s offices near Union Square last week each earn less than $20,000 a year, official records show.
Imagine that.
