Do the union bosses [aka “thugs”] go into the booths with their employees?
What if the they say “yeah boss” and vote to keep their jobs any way?
How will the thugs...I mean, bosses know?
I know hubby’s union [AFSCME, Teamsters] pressured him to vote for “their” candidates all the time but he voted his own mind, in the end.
When I was in the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters, every union meeting before the election the Business Manager would stand up on the stage and glare at the membership and say “we know how you voted and we will make you pay” in a effort to scare the membership in to toeing the line...Never worked on me and I stood up and told them so!
I worked a union shop for 35 years and the a**hats leaders always tried to get us to vote for the Democrat, since we were in the lumber industry and lived mostly in the country, we always voted for the conservative(in my early years some Dems were conservative). Most workers have a mind of their own, some buy the BS, most don't. I know we fought hard to keep the jerks from using our funds to promote the dem candidate and to keep them from trying to speak for us. Union members don't necessarily agree with union leadership.
