you know its funny, unions( atleast in the construction trades)  use to mean that you got a skilled person.  now days its a bunch of crap.

Hell the guy that signed off my GC was the head of the local union.  After looking at my work and reconizing my name, he handed me my journymen statis.  Turns out he was my grandfathers last apprentice. ( my grandfather was the head of the union before he retired, and busted his ass every day on the site, not like these professional union workers)  he knew damn well the training I went thru and how it was far more extreme then what they would have put me thru.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

Not all union members are democrats. At the Local I used to belong to, 53% of the union members were registered Republicans.

Of course all union members aren't democrats.  If the republicans want to keep their jobs they have to join the union...and since more republicans are willing to work then democrats, you get unions with more republicans than democrats  ;D

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

That is a totally meaningless fact.
The Union itself uses part of your dues to support the Democratic party.
To the tune of $400 MILLION in '08 alone.
