"The couincil is a government employees labor union."

So unions are the enemy. I suppose this includes the Arizona Police Association which endorsed Bush last year? http://www.azpolice.org/2004%20Political%20Endorsements%20-%20General%20Election.pdf

Or the Baltimore police union that supported Ehrlich in his election? http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/bal-md.ehrlich23oct23%2C0%2C5808597.story?coll=bal-local-headlines

Or the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York? And the 44% of the International Association of Fire Fighters who identify themselves as Republicans? How about the 87% of that union that identify themselves as conservative? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6066566

Or the 37% of all union members who voted for Bush in 2000? http://www.bostonherald.com/national/view.bg?articleid=37620

Why are unions and the rank and file welcomed to vote for Republicans in election but then treated like pariahs once they've done their jobs and punched their ballots?

Only those unions who push for higher wages and worker protections are the enemy apparently.

Some unions are corrupt and ask way too much from companies but on the other hand many of the workers in them are conservatives who consistently vote GOP and will be devastated financially if this guest worker program ever becomes law.
