Not surprising at all
Looks like the people who want a union should form another one, defund those crooks and move on..
state employee unions and teacher unions saw the crap virg did to the unions in lansing and knew better.
Hannity had a Cleveland, Ohio, focus group on just before the election. Many in the focus group were Union workers. Rush mentioned seeing the show and commented on how angry they were and that it didn’t bode well for RATs. They were big-time angry that their Union leadership was confiscating their Union dues to support Union leadership-backed RAT candidates. The Union members stated that they wanted their dues used to grow more jobs not to support RAT candidates.
The Union member see the handwriting on their unemployment walls. Their leadership, like all RATs, better wise up that their members are big-time angry at them! House Elitists failed to see reality and now they’re gone.
If you are in a union and can’t get out (by law), at least demand the monies used for political purposes be refunded to you.
I was a member of CWA for a long time before I knew the law reuired that the union give me back the money they were going to give to politicians or anything outside of the collective bargaining process.

Nationwide we lost the rank and file union vote just 49/48. Oh they will be back in 2012, but the days of an automatic even 65% union rank and file vote for Democrats are gone.
This is very good news and remember no one really believed the Soviet Union would fall until just a year or two before it actually happened.
...just 52 percent of the certified MEA members (teachers and other professionals who hold some type of credential) [and]... only 39 percent of the education support members (custodial and non-teachers) voted for Bernero. That percentage was just below the general electorate. The results may also signify the MEA membership is less partisan than the union leadership...

The same applies to the UAW members on the west side of the state.
I know a large number of now retired UAW workers here in the Detroit area who are republicans and have been for years.........
