[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 808369, member: 13254"] The union most certainly tells people how to vote, just not everyone listens to them. You are correct, there are many issues that divide the political poles. Guns, gay rights and abortion are indeed emotion driven debates. However don't ever think they are unimportant. The issues that you are placing in sure high regards are emotional as well. When one uses their brain to decide how to vote need to realize that without the "Big businesses" there would be NO union jobs. UAW has pretty much proven that. How many people is UPS going to layoff in the coming year due to a change in the way they do business because the company is looking to save money in labor cost to continue to profit in the attempt to keep the investors interested? There has to be a balance somewhere, no company can continue to hand out huge raises without doing something to offset. No company can survive at a break even pace. There are many things our government needs to change for our country to survive that will in turn allow companies to make a good profit, keep providing jobs and keep us all working. Crippling the businesses that provide jobs is not one of them. You, grgrcr88, can keep using the type of dialog that is intended to shut down debate if you like but does not change the facts of life in the USA today. Keep preaching the " Union knows what is best for everyone" line, you may end up with a job in your local. [/QUOTE]
