Faltering unions


The unions continue to lose membership. The AFL-CIO Executive Council has decided to raise the dues it charges affiliate members in order to increase political spending. Most of that money will go to the support of dem candidates in the next two election cycles. Now consider this: 43% of union households voted for President Bush in 2004. One has to wonder if those 43% know how much of their union dues go to supporting dem candidates instead of being used for their benefit. Linda Chavez has a lot of things to say on this issue, along with some facts and figures. - Sailor
