Organized labor is playing for keeps in the November 7 election.

[Brilliant]

They already have. If it weren't for the unions, the Dems would probably be outnumbered 10 to 1.

The title is like saying "The Sun will come up tomorrow"...

Unions Hope to Put Democrats in Power

And in other news, experts are confounded by the Pope's apparent conversion to Catholicism.

[Gay State Conservative]

Unions are dying out in this country...except for government employee unions.

[Maceman]

Now THERE'S a bulletin.

Union people were all over the place in my neck of the woods -- even made the local tv news. Thank goodness I don't answer the door unless I'm expecting company.

The 'RATS are the union's best hope for a Communist Amerika. It ain't going to happen with Republicans running the country.

[spectre]

I hope the unions dump all their political action millions into this election and lose big time.

And I belong to a union.

People in Hell hope to get ice water.

[Pest]

Look how well it's working in Michigan.

I'm willing to bet you are not alone. It's unfortunate that unions still believe the Rats are their saviors. My father was a union man -- voted Dem all his adult life. But I think he would be disilusioned with the Dem party today. He was less and less favorable toward unions toward the end of his life -- seems to me it would have been natural progressiokn.

labor leaders have been eager to prove that unions still matter

Matter to whom? The labor leaders or their followers? What have union leaders done for the longterm job prospects of their followers these past few decades? Have they worked with business on keeping jobs at home? Have they supported stopping illegal aliens from undermining wages?

They are out of touch with their own membership on issues...

Unions should be going after Pelosi for not allowing union workers on her Restaurant, Vineyard and Lodging properties. Then she has the balls to rip Wal-Mart for not having an EE union.

[zbigreddogz]

It's funny, because labor unions still think they have power.

[gas0linealley]

"Have they worked with business on keeping jobs at home?"

If you were the leader of a labor union, how would you accomplish that goal?

Unions?

I guess I'll make an obligatory stop at Walmart after voting.

"They are out of touch with their own membership on issues..."

The same may be said of many of our elected officials regarding their constituents, and yet, they get returned to office. Apparently their views appeal to the majority.
