[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1141255, member: 42270"] He ran as a Democrat in 1964, an independent in 1968, and a Democrat again in 1972. Your original post had some merit, although your opposition to the IBT's political allegiances crystalizes solely around the ACA. The Democratic Party has been treating Labor like a redheaded stepchild for decades now; we get a few crumbs every now and then to keep us quiet (NLRB appointments, second generation union members appointed as Secretary of Labor, etc.) while major pieces of legislation that could aid us (Employee Free Choice Act, RLA reclassification for FedEx, repealing section 14(b) of Taft-Hartley which allows individual states to pass RTW laws, etc.) get swept under the rug.
