Unions have been big part of politics every since they brought there first politicians. As usually money talks and and long as its someones else's money the more the merry. Union's buy democrats for the pacific reason to get union interest pass at state and federal level. IMO Teachers unions good example in the north and east, brought enough carpetbaggers (which wasn't hard in the northeast) to get up to 100% unfunded retirement and the union gets piece of the pie. Bottom line some are good and some are bad. Your little wage is chicken feed compared to union weight. And as long as you vote for union matters YOU wont be outcast, beat, or killed depending how far up the apple tree you are. You might compare it to gang. Like MS13, we see the signs but think Shyt not happening. Scab maybe better than worm sometimes.
