What does it take to lead a union for 4,652 electricians - one the state's most politically powerful?

Where powerful Local 98 spent its millions: Health benefits, political donations - and Eagles tickets

Start with $30 million in campaign contributions spent over the course of 16 years on state and local candidates by the city's electricians' union, Local 98 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

Over the years, the union's money and manpower have helped elect mayors, City Council members, county commissioners, congressmen, state legislators, governors, and at least 58 judges, including the union leader's brother and five Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices.

 

Throw in tens of millions of dollars in spending a year - $26.2 million in 2015 alone. That paid for health benefits, $112,000 worth of Eagles tickets, $11,803 in holiday gifts bought from the upscale Coach store in Philadelphia, even $8,925 in spa services.
