[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 5951408, member: 60485"] I’m not certain what you mean by controlling our benefits. Whether we like it or not, the government controls pretty much all aspects of Union rules and regulations every pension has government rules They have to follow. and some pensions have been bailed out by the government. Sure, it’s a double edge sword. It’s a game We absolutely have to involve ourselves with. Personally, I think Sean is smart thinking outside of the box. Saying one party is the only party that is our friend is only true if we never extend our hand and friendship first. I would say the last 60 years of saying one party is our friend hasn’t been very productive for unions and there growth. We are only merely surviving. at worst it doesn’t work. At best we get a seat at both parties table. As with anyone trailblazing a new path, he will either be remembered as a genius or a sucker. But unlike most labor leaders, he will be remembered.
