[QUOTE="grgrcr88, post: 808340, member: 16611"] The Union never tells anyone how to vote, the Union leadership may try to educate the voters in their local as to which candidates are more Union friendly and which ones lean towards big business. It is most definitely the responsibility of every Union member to try and educate others in the ways of politics and their affects on the middle class, working class people. It amazes me every day how the working class people continue to vote against their own interests. People get so hung up on the minor things and never even look at the issues that will affect their future. I know things like guns, immigration, gays and abortion are very emotional issues to people, but if they would put emotions aside and look into things like free trade agreements or social security and Medicare policies, they might realize that they are killing themselves by voting with emotions instead of brains. That is what the Union leadership tries to do. Oped the eyes of voters to the real issues at hand for the working class people. And I assure you, there is very little, if any of your dues money going to campaign funds. There may be money from other sources going there but I would be surprised if anymore than $1 a week of your dues money went to political funding. As for the SCAB part. Any person that works in a Union shop, drawing Union wages and benefits without paying Union dues is a SCAB!! [/QUOTE]
