AFL-CIO getting even..
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!
Will other unions Teamsters etc follow suit ?
Well the wheel fell off of that wagon.
And it will work because many politicians will carry the water for whomever is providing the contributions.
If true, this is HUGE news.
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.

That's a nice new plate glass window. It would be a shame if something happened to it.
There was a time when labor unions wanted economic growth. Maybe that time is coming again.
The private sector unions see the writing on the wall...
Their fight is at the state level keeping right to work legislation from becoming reality...in many states
They are smart enough to know the Fed cannot help them so giving Obama money is pretty much throwing it away...
I suggest Republicans start looking into union pension funds & if necessary initiate legislation to make sure they are fully funded before unions can spend dues money on ‘outside activities’. That would slow some of these guys down.
Lookimgt forward to watching what Ed “Union Mobster Mouthpiece” has to saay about this.... >B-^)`
The war on coal has hurt the UMW.
While the GM bailout seemed like a sweetheart deal for the unions, their likely greatest area of manufacturing growth is.....China.
The Keystone pipeline jobs would have included jobs which organized labor could have had...
Unions have been losing popularity and jobs, (in tough times there is no shortage of non-union applicants who are ready, able, and willing to work) and even the management has got to see that if there is no rank and file to pay dues, sooner or later they won't have enough cash flow to 'operate'.
Wisconsin is just the beginning of the end for people working in the Public Sector using our money to lobby for more of our money.
Pssst-it’s only a threat. After all these years of funding the dems, the unions are not about to tell their members to support conservatives. Then again, maybe the union bosses are ready to cut their losses, take whatever money remains, and RUN.
