Well, a withdrawal of an alliance would certainly be.

Calling uncle Martin. Uncle Martin, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Wake me up when the union endorses a Republican for anything.

More examples of the failure of the educational system, especially in math. This decision was obviously politically motivated. Obama will retain one vote for every eight he loses on this. Keep up the good work, and perhaps not even the Republicans will be able to lose.

You got that right, plus the cash they will contribute.

I respectfully disagree. Unions are hurting right now (money wise) because of a reduction of union workers thus dues. The pipeline would be a boon for the unions and they know it. People vote with their wallets and this panic by the unions is a demonstration how important this pipeline is to our economy.

Welding and pipefitting workers in a fight with TWU (railroad) union.

Guess we all know why that is don’t we?

Warren Buffet bought a railroad and wants the oil shipped by train and Obama supports him and his banker buddies on it.

The leadership will -- and the money they contribute to the Dems means something, too. But I'm not so sure about the members. They've known for a long time that the Dems support their Marxist organizing, but the Republicans support their jobs.

None of what I just said applies to public employee unions, though, which is where all the union power now lies.
