I think the way Conservatives can winthe UNION vote is by having a party position that lays down some clear common sense “Rules for How Unions should behave”...
Here let me start:
1. All union voting concerning union members should be done via a closed ballot with one vote per member and the reading of those votes open and supervised by any union member who wants to watch the votes get tallied.
2. A union cannot harass a non-union member or it’s own member over issues concerning union policy.
3. Union dues and where and how they are spent should be open to all members of the union to read at any time.
4. Strikers should not engage in ANY physical or verbal violence towards any members who refuse to strike with the union members nor should any retributio9n be levied towards anyone who crosses the Pickett line.
5. We recognize the right of the workers to organize themselves into their self formed advocacy groups ie Unions, however we also recognize the rights of the employer to object to such groups as well.
Basically a “Common sense” list of things and behaviors we as conservatives expect from Unions. A list that will connect to the ideals and values of the “Reagan democrats” and that are “common sense”.
Adding another one:
6. Acts of deliberate vandalism towards employers or fellow employes shall not be tolerated.
