Forget the millions of jobs going overseas, as long as these union bosses can use the government to strong-arm union dues, they love the dems.

The dems comply because the Union bosses then give that money right back to the dems. So why wouldn't the government strong-arm union dues, its their money after all. /s

No, we don’t. I hope the IBEW members raise cain over this crap. They can cause some heads to roll if they really want to. Apathy by people leads to this abuse.
