Unions should be against illegal aliens. Job loss thing. Why are they in favor of this?
primarily concerned with, among other things, job protection. They are (almost always) not. They are primarily concerned with amassing dues. More warm bodies, more dues, voila, more political clout.
Good question. I'm a union machinist which is part of the AFL-CIO. Some of us "more conservative" members have a meeting with the president of our local over just this matter. From what I've heard from our plant chairman is that they both agree that it is wrong for the union to be supporting this fraud. A portion of our union dues goes to a PAC from which the union heads spread out to mostly anti-american causes. Well, this is about the last straw giving money to these illegal causes. We hope that our local president will at least put out some kind of written statement how he and other union members oppose this. Becomeing a dues objector is another option. For now I'm glad he's agreed to meet with us.
