Footnotes:
(1) AFT's PAC reports only quarterly,
as opposed to monthly, like most other union PACs, and thus the most recent
figures are only through June 30, 1998.
(2) UAW’s second and smaller (non-communications)
PAC is not included in this study. For reference it is called UAW
Committee for Good Government, FEC Number C00002382, and the address is
the same as above.
(3) AMO is technically a labor
organization and not a union.
(4) AFL-CIO is techincally a labor
federation and not a union.
