The current trend in states re-evaluating their collective bargaining agreements creates a life or death struggle for the unions and the Democratic Party – a threat to their criminal partnership. Unions overwhelmingly support left-wing causes with their financial war chests and Democrats, in return, funnel taxpayer money back to the unions, robbing taxpayers and draining state treasuries into a fiscal abyss. Between 1990 and 2010 unions spent $734 million in campaign contributions, with $668 million going to the Democratic Party. That’s 91% of all union political contributions! In short, without labor unions and their millions pouring into DNC coffers, there would be no Democratic Party.
