AFL CIO There’s gotta be a good acronym for that. I’ll work on it overnight at work :)
Wow!! Stop the presses. Who saw that one coming?
Who would have thought this could happen?
I thought they had ended their affiliation with organized crime?
She promises them lots of fat govt contracts in exchange for their votes this year....... and again in 2020 (shudder)
.
Doesn’t mean membership will vote for her.
The popular vote doesn’t elect the President.
I hope that ALPA (Air Line Pilots Association) wasn’t stupid enough to sign on to that endorsement. They have had their collective heads up and locked for so long now I can’t even remember a time when they haven’t been behind the power curve politically.
Live better.
Don’t buy anything that is Union Made.
Look for the Union Label.
If you see it, put it back.
Criminals endorsing a criminal. I'm shocked.
I doubt that applies to the rank-and-file.
It’s a myth that rank and file follow leaderships recommendation in the voting booth. SEIU and government unions a notable exception. Though, that has much to do with race.
Stereotypes can be amusing. My neighbor is a retired bank president, and biggest Dem one can find.
I’m a shop steward, and have never voted anything other than Republican. And my Trump sign is bigger than his goofy looking Hillary lawn sign.
Unexpected
SO? It’s the workers that Trump has, not the money grabbing bosses...
Yeah so did jimmy carter
I was AFL-CIO for 38 years (Communications Technician). I can still remember the "Union Bulletin Board" at work chocked full of RAT propaganda. I kept my mouth shut and voted straight Republican ALWAYS. SCREW THE AFL-CIO!
absolutely. at least we still have PRIVATE voting booths.
ALPA was a big current contributor to Hillary in the information leaked by the Russian hacker.
I not only don’t keep my mouth shut, I roll into work and membership meetings with a Trump bumper sticker proudly displayed.
