The danger of unions being so involved in politics is that they could easily become uhbama's brown shirts. There seems to be no restraint when union members act like thugs.
Wonder if this is the plan.
The forced union dues that are then used to promote democrats ( just note the fact that union paychecks are now tied to minimum wages-if the minimum wage goes up, the union members get a pay increase automatically even tho they may be making twenty seven dollars an hour, etc. That means costs are passed on to consumers, etc., in a never ending cycle and entry level job costs smaller businesses ever more-leading to closure and economic stress.)
Add to the unions the federally paid Americorps and Vista organizers.
My memories of unions go back to days in the early 1930s. My mother who was an immigrant wanted just to work to get ‘bread’ money. The union organizers/thugs kept harassing her to not cross the lines and my mother would come home crying at night. This is not to say the factory owners were without blame in those times. However. the childhood experience shaped my belief that there are people in this Nation/world who are basically like pack animals. They do not on their own want to earn their due, instead they want what they want by ‘packing’ and taking from others. The worst aspect of this is that the ordinary persons in the pack/union deliver themselves to the alfa person who gets control of the pack/union most often by thug intimidation. As I see what goes today the scenario plays out in all ‘public’ unions including cops,firemen, etc. Unions of these ‘public’ servants as operated today should be under public control as set by public vote not officials who like the pack animals sell themselves to unions.
