My union USWA spends way too much effort fighting to keep the trouble makers employed and is a puppet for the Democratic party.

$3000???? That would be $250.00 a month!! Dues are typically 2.5 times the hourly wage rate per month. By your figure, that would be a $100.00 an hour job. Is Is your job still open? I may come out of retirement for that one.
I also, did not appreciate my local unions electioneering efforts that I didn't agree with; but on the other hand they usually were trying to help candidates who purported to be sympathetic to the concerns of the union worker. It's was just my feelings about the remainder of that candidate's liberal positions that would cause me grief.
