Bobby Haynes Gets Paid
..............................................................................................................................................................................................

AFL-CIO President Bob Haynes, the same person who claims to fight for working families, does pretty well for himself on the backs of his members, those looking for work and health insurance customers.

According to the most recent public records available, here's what Haynes' income looks like:

In 2008, Haynes reported making $121,867 as president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO and another $24,656 "working" for the Massachusetts AFL-CIO Workforce Development Programs, Inc., totaling $146,523.  Include his payoff from Blue Cross Blue Shield, which the Herald reported as $72,700 for "serving" as a Director on the board of the health insurer and Haynes makes a whopping $219,223.

Haynes stated that the Blue Cross board of directors is made up of "very able, qualified, capable people."  Yet Haynes has no experience in running a health care company.

Even Haynes' own union brethren are unhappy with his stipend from Blue Cross Blue Shield, because they understand the salaries of BCBS board members is paid for by the insurers' rate payers.

The Boston Herald reported that the 3,500-member New England Police Benevolent Association demanded AFL-CIO President Robert Haynes and AFL-CIO Vice President George Alcott III return every penny they received as directors at Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Fast Fact

Do as I say, not as I do...

Massachusetts AFL-CIO Bobby Haynes has for years derided executive compensation of private CEOs.

However, when Haynes was caught moonlighting as a paid board member for the non-profit health insurer Blue Cross Blue Shield, despite not having any background in health care, here's what he had to say to the Boston Herald:

“The cost of health insurance is not affected very much. It’s about $1 million that board members get paid, with $13 billion in revenue it’s like pennies a year.”
