Depends on how they spend it. Will it go to pay lost time for rank and filers to be brought off the job to organize, or to fund $75,000/year staffers who are given a title "organizer"? Will it go for strategic research or for media buys? Will it be spent on a strategically planned campaign to organize the non-union minimills or to chase after any hot shop that crosses someone's path?

(Add your own questions.)
