Watch Missouri on Wed. A handful of Republicans are refusing to vote to override Gov. Nixon's veto of the Right to Work law. After Nixon vetoed the law in May, unions gave him $500K. But that is to be expected of Democrat pols and their union buds. One wonders what "incentives" unions are offering all these Republicans?
Depending on what area of the country, government employee unions can be much more forceful in terms of recruitment methods and "donations."
The problem is not unions. It is the excessive regulation that unions and corporations are forced to abide by. Our government is tilted toward whoever gives the most amount of money to politicians. Both sides are giving tons of money in order to gain influence. This needs to change, but I do not believe it is possible.
