So, because Obama pissed them off they are offering themselves for sale to the Republicans?

or... did I get that wrong?

Private sector union members have always been pretty much 50/50 in the way they voted ~ except for the periods when Nixon had the Teamsters voting Republican, or when Eisenhower ran ~ he got them all ~ Supreme Allied Commander was a catchy title you know.

Remember, unions come in two flavors ~ "leaders" and "members". Virtually all the "leaders" are part of the Democrat apparatus. Few of the "members" are.

I do believe the discussion is about capturing more than our usual share of "members".
