American Labor Pays Its Dues by Jonathan Tasini, ProgressiveTrail.org
The real problem is not that unions pull out all the stops to elect Democrats. It’s that after the election, too often labor has had to remind Democrats how they got elected—and that sometimes labor supports Democratic candidates who don’t deserve labor’s support. If it only it were true that the Democratic Party kowtows to labor. The real challenge is for labor to grow in numbers so it really becomes Big Labor again—and can redouble its efforts to turn out even more members to shift the complexion of the political landscape from one of an ever-growing gap between rich and poor.------------------------------------------- posted 7:06 AM :: reference link ::
