[QUOTE="Cole, post: 187082, member: 9507"] We can't just blame the Republicans because NAFTA passed under Clinton. I'll tell you a little story from years past and one of my first union meetings: The issue was the bill on permanently replacing striking workers, to the members the Union said they were dead set against it, but our local congressmen voted for it, and was at our union meeting aftrewards, and everyone gave him hell about voting for it, and he had enough and said, "you know why I voted for it? They told me to!" The "they" was our local union President at the time, and said they were told by several Teamster officials to vote for it. We nearly had a riot in the union hall that day. So there's alot of doubling talk then and probably now. [/QUOTE]
