[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1030230, member: 42554"] The magazine comes out 6 times a year, and Obama was on the cover maybe twice? Usually it's because it's relevant to some sort of labor related legislation but I'm sure he will be on there for the next two for the election. That magazine is mostly used for propaganda purposes & for legal notices as required by the consent order for the independent review board. I assure you that very little of your dues money that gets sent to the National is being used to fund that slim magazine. I think Unions are, in general, very good at getting people registered to vote and good at getting people to actually vote. Unions are marginal at best in getting that vote to go a certain way, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Here is a good analysis that I mostly agree with although I would control for additional factors: [url=http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/26/the-effects-of-union-membership-on-democratic-voting/]The Effects of Union Membership on Democratic Voting - NYTimes.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
