This sounds really stupid to me.I hope a lot of union menbers agree.

Actually private industry union workers lean conservative on social issues, and overall, I believe private sector union workers voted for Bush in 2000(though they only make up around 40%-45% of unionised employees now), and many are pissed at their dues going for causes they do not believe in, and are pissed at how ineffective Sweeny has been for workers in the private sector. Not once after Sweeny took charge in 95 did the AFL-CIO hold the Clinton admins feet to the fire.
