Just about all of us are or were union members at some point. I doubt it makes that much difference for those of us who are older because the unions weren’t nearly as politically aggressive in the past as they are today.

Thanks for the perspective. There are parts of PA where unions were a religion. Those jobs left in the 70's and 80's, and so did the unions. I have a number of friends my age, just under 50, who grew up in very conservative union families. My friends are Republicans. Their fathers and uncles are Democrats and are not changing they way they vote. It doesn't make for good conversation at hunting camp.
