All told, how much did the Unions blow in Wisconsin? Twenty million? And now no mandatory dues collection? Whew. Talk about bad strategy. Glad to see they wasted all that money!

This sounds like the unions are seeing a major change during this coming election and have decided to "redeploy" their political contributions in a more balanced way.
And it will work because many politicians will carry the water for whomever is providing the contributions.

I loved to see if some annuities have been bought courtesy of the AFL-CIO and how many of the higher level muckee-mucks will soon be “retiring early”...

It’s all going to the Dems like always.
Obama’s well funded so others will get more.

Wow.
Now I’m getting concerned that Obama is doing SO bad that the DEMs will try to make Hillary Clinton the candidate.

Wow! I think that it has a lot to do with the losing recall effort in Wisconsin, as well as polls showing an across the board erosion in Obama’s support, even among black voters. This makes me wonder if union leaders are working on the inside, using their economic and manpower leverage to bring about a major shift in Democratic support to Hillary, either as a replacement for Biden, or even the top of the ticket.

The federation says the shift has been in the works for months, and had nothing to do with the president's failure to show in Wisconsin last week That's a nice new plate glass window. It would be a shame if something happened to it.

If Hoffa wasn’t such a flaming Commie, the teamsters would be a Republican Union. After all they are almost exclusively a private sector concern.

There was a time when labor unions wanted economic growth. Maybe that time is coming again.
