The need for unions boils down to extorting money at this point in time. The money is used to pad their pockets and the pockets of Dem candidates. Time and again I would receive phone calls and mailings from AFCSME advising me who to vote for in each election. Imagine how surprising it was to find that the BEST candidate for “my interest” was ALWAYS the Dem candidate. The Union magazine was a complete propaganda flyer and, much like an earlier poster claimed - the people in the pictures were frequently obese, hardly an image that made one imagine that hard work was their priority.
Unions purpose is to launder taxpayer money for DemocRAT campaigns.
