It's not just the leadership.

It's not just the leadership.

Of course not. There are perhaps many among the rank and file of unions who are just as ideologically fanatical as their union bosses.

At the same time there are definitely as many or more of the rank and file who would much rather have a regular job and regular paycheck, than to create situations where all the jobs leave their area.

Winning hearts and minds is never a "100% or none" proposition.

If we can get 50% of union workers to consider NOT "tearing it all down, man", in favor of reasonable policies that will save jobs, then we just might get that 50% to vote in such a way that will save their jobs and reduce the stranglehold the union bosses and fanatics have on our economy.

Class warfare is ugly and counterproductive from either direction.
