I know it’s shocking and electrifying at the same time.
Here is the union vote from 1948 to 1964 for instance.
That is a chart of the portion of the vote the democrats received, from the two groups listed.
You also seem to have shifted periods, from the distant past that you were making your claims about.
It has indeed been fun keeping up with current news concerning the electricians’ unions in PA... ;-)
Man would I be ticked if I was in that union. Robbing their “working man’s” wages.
