[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 5306348, member: 14176"] First of all the vast majority of the money goes to the national fund (which is a lobby to counteract corporate lobbies like UPS', the largest on Capital Hill) and many smaller locals don't get any of the money to distribute locally. Some Locals that do maintain a small PAC fund only retain a small portion of the money and can only contribute to state and local level politicians who support labor issues like RTW, prevailing wage and pension reform to name a few, but all locals can also petition the national fund to support the campaigns of federal House and Senate candidates. While the ebbs and flows of this dynamic drift back and forth across party lines, the money gets distributed accordingly and is historically fairly even to both parties in recent years. I attended a fund raiser just last week for a Republican State Supreme Court Justice up for election in November who supports and is endorsed by several state level building trades unions. In my local it is about labor issues, not partisan politics....and they all call and have their hands out. What do you think would happen if they only had the UPS trough to feed from? [/QUOTE]
