No not for the candidate or party. With the union it is all about them, the union leaders and hierarchy. The working man or women has no choice. They pay the union dues and have no say in the choice of party or candidate that are v**ed for. The unions at one time in our history served a purpose. They did work for the common man. Now its for the leaders and the hierarchy. Yes I was a union member once long ago.
I belonged to the NEA many years ago and had to leave them when they admitted to being a union. They had to do that because other unions were pushing them out. I got out of that bunch almost exactly 38 years ago when they gave money to Jimmy Carter to campaign with and some of it was mine and they didn't ask us for permission. You must have had the same experience with unions I did.
