As a prior employee of at&t, before i went into management I was a union working, closed shop. You paid dues no matter what, and even though you voted where your contributions would go politically, it always went to the Left. I think the voting was a sham. The union leadership had already decided where the money was going. Ultimate corruption. And when you consider out of the top 50 political contributors the majority of them are unions, one thinks that maybe the unions should be doing more for the workers rather than pissing the money away
I suspect top union goons get plenty in return for the money they give to dems.
Ever notice how union corruption and theft goes unnoticed? Or how the press is butt kissing union goons as if they were liberal elites? That takes cash... lot of it.
