As a retired 30 plus year union member, I can tell you that a lot of union members are conservative. I didn't say a majority mind you but a lot.
This retired union member has never voted for a democrat. I wouldn't vote for my brother if he were running for office as a democrat. (He's not democrat though)
A better example would be my mother, who at 90 years old isn't running for anything but she's a "Roosevelt" democrat and there's no changing that. When political matters are brought up, always by her, I quickly change the subject because she's easily agitated and after all she is my mother and has the ultimate weapon - she might give me a whooping.
Yet your union brethren keep overwhelmingly electing leadership that supports Democrats and other liberals. Sorry, no sale.

Ya’ll should have the right to demand all your union dues(both employee and employee side) be returned to you.
After all your union membership was not exactly voluntary and thus they were providing unsolicited services, while stealing your money for 30+ years. Being a member of a union should be voluntary, and i can think of no excuse not to make it so.
If the boss wants to lay off union members let him try and find someone else willing and able to do the same job for less. Let that person determent if he or she needs the union.
Let the union be reformed on the spot if it should become necessary.
A standing union is just asking for corruption, wast, and exploitation on a level as bad or worse then anything any employer might do to you. Unions don’t just try to control your business they try to control every like business in town if not the federation! In this way Unions rob the employee of a place to run ultimately crashing the entire industry as the Unions have done to our auto industry.
At least an abusive employer is only in that one company, you can quit and join the competitor. The threat of the same alone should be enough to keep your existing employer concerned with YOUR individual happiness.
