[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 1141719, member: 37112"] You need to freshen up on accuracy. Actually the right went full tilt after public sector unions in Wisconsin, and exposed that agenda in the massive out of state funding in the recall election. Walker did not run in either campaign on "mandatory dues withdrawal" (interesting twist of words). He did successfully paint the public sector employees (union and non-union) as greedy during his first campaign and lulled Wisconsin voters into that belief, with a boatload of Koch money supporting both elections. Polls show less than 30% of private sector union members supported Walker, less than the number who normally vote Republican. The "unions" (and many other groups) in Wisconsin failed in that they ran a successful drive to petition for recall, but ran out of gas on the get out the vote drive. Add to that the lukewarm support for the challenger (who was vastly underfunded and outspent nearly 10-1) and Walker wins. I appreciate your concern for how unions should perform, but as a long term management employee you might be wise sticking to what you know a little about, limited as that appears, unless of course you think all union members should have input as to how UPS runs their operations.
