When I was a kid working in the summer for my uncle who was a drywall contractor, most construction people were democrats (my uncle was a republican). Now, you would be hard pressed to find a construction worker who is not a conservative and a republican, unless they are a union member. The unions are not all that popular in this part of the state.

IMHO unions have outlived their usefulness.
