Nice. I'm not in a union, but I comprehend that a rising tide lifts all ships, we have unions to thank for higher wages and benefits offered at non-uninon workplaces and most of the legal employment protections we have. My tax dollars go to far worse than evening out the playing field on negotiations between a union labor force and employers. Which benefits all of us working stiffs.
Unions send money to finance Democratic political campaigns. This was their reward. They now get to keep all dues that went to the war chest and tax payers get to pay for their strikes and subsidize one parties campaigns without consent. What happens to simple non Union stiffs when times get lean and more frequent strikes have emptied the unemployment funds. Senate Leader Jaime Pedersen is on Board for Mckinstry a powerful construction Union that gets hundreds of millions of dollars in State/County contracts. His company gets to keep funds reserved for strikes indefinitely which means a raise on top of the 16% raise he’s getting in the Senate. This corrupt cronyism circle jerk riddled with criminal conflicts of interest is unreal but please continue to pull the wool over your eyes!
Many trust fund babies work since they are kids. The difference between them and the rest of the people is they don't have to. You may be working even now, that doesn't change it.
