They continued to support the union despite that unions endorsement. There are steps they could have taken to reign it in. Instead they looked away for the paycheck and the pension. It caught up to them.

As a college student, I worked a job that required I join the union.

While I was there, my state had a right to work ballot initiative. The union assholes showed up every day to campaign against the initiative outside the facility.

I told them all they were full of shit. But I was still a member. Because I was forced to be.

When I left that job (after right to work passed), those cocksuckers had the gall to charge me a fee to get out of the union, threatening that if I didn't pay it, and ever took a union job again, my "back dues" would be extracted from my paycheck.

I've never taken another union job.

Point is, not all union members are on board with their bullshit.

Can confirm, am union. I had to join even though Minnesota is a right to work state.

My co-workers are all patriots and/or magas, and the union sent us cards in the mail advocating for Joe Biden during the election.

How many of you have told the union they can't use your dues for political donations? They have to cut you a check at the end of the year for your "part" that would be donated.
