Union leaders no more represent those who do the work any more than elected officeholders represent those who pay the taxes.

The "yoon-yun" members get what they deserve. In New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, the vote Democrat to the man/woman.

Just because some of them fly the American flag from their house or go hunting doesn't mean that they aren't staunch supporters of the "evil" party. F-ck 'em!

While I share your frustration about many of our elected representatives, I have not yet reached your level of cynicism. I still have hopes that we can make them more representative, and appreciation of some level of representation even now (consider the House of Representatives and the immigration bill.)
