I work in a unionized workplace. Everyone wears their little Teamsters shirts. Lots of bitching and moaning. Lots of fun. I will not support the AFL-CIO for a list of reasons. I have been asked many times to join though. I know Republicans who are in the union. Why? "Company treated us bad blah blah blah" they say. They are not happy with the Bush-bashing that goes in some of the meetings. I feel sorry for them.
I used to wear my "God Votes Republican" tee shirt to stewards meetings. Pissed allot of people off, loved it. My family helped to organize the Local and I was a very good Steward, nothing they could do to me, Trotskiite scum.
