Pretty much all unions....

Think it’s tough being an open conservative in a union?...try being a union guy on FR...

IBEW since 95...non union for 18 years previous..

And yeah...sorry to say...there will be some creeps who will take that call...

Our local just voted to cut it’s own throat becuase the international said JUMP.

Thanks, Crim, for getting back to me on the union thing. Weird thing is, I would think that most trade unionists are rather conservative. Most people that I’ve met non-union or union who actually do something requiring technical skills are a rather practical, pragmatic bunch?

Completely unrelated to trade union members, except for perhaps some fiscal conservatism, the Hill Buzz Boys mentioned that the group of entrepreneurial gay guys known as ‘Bears’ are a logical fit for the R party as they are fiscally prudent people, who own businesses. Makes me wonder how many people don’t really think about who/what they are voting for and vote in a historical pattern or the mini-soundbites and MSM propaganda.

Out of curiosity, how did the local cut it’s own throat due to International pressure?
