I worked for a radical public employee union in CA for ten years. I worked for the union itself doing financial and political reporting. They didn’t know I was a conservative until after they hired me, LOL.
Send me a reply if you want to know any of my experience. I was really shocked at how they operate in politics, etc.
Oh, yeah, I’m fully aware (from personal experience too) of how they operate in politics. I just chose poorly in my wording there.
What I’d like to see are the actual linkages. There was a great graphic I saw a couple years back (here on FR, I think) showing how, if they had the ability to compile and display metadata, the British could have easily identified all the Colonial revolutionary groups by identifying the go-betweens (one of whom was Paul Revere) and roll them up well before Lexington and Concord.
Please tell your experiences!
