Ditto. I'm a vested Operating Engineer and Teamster. I share your pain.

You share my pain. Thanks. When I worked for the state and lived in Sacramento, it just irritated the heck out of me that they took union dues from my paycheck every month and I had no choice in the matter. I opted out of all I could opt out of but they still took money and gave it to this union.

Luckily, I saved all of my email communications with CSEA people. What a bunch of LIARS! They refused to give me a breakdown of how much money they spent on politics. They ENDORSED Gov. Gray Davis who is now being recalled. They spit in our faces! They also supported virtually ALL democrats - pro abortion democrats at that.

Good grief!
