Damn freakin’ straight. I’ve said here for years that the Dems have sold the private sector unions down the river and conspired with union bosses and enviro groups to focus on their new union growth industry - govt workers.
Finally some of these guys hopefully are starting to wake up.
So, because Obama pissed them off they are offering themselves for sale to the Republicans?
or... did I get that wrong?
Let the Dems keep all the unions and their votes. They are part of the problem, not the solution.
I wonder if there are a still enough UMWA members to matter?
It would be exciting except GOP outreach stinks.
This article is an exercise in wishful thinking. Yes, the coal miners are being sacrificed; but Obama thinks of the unions as a semi-private communistic army. His favorite unions are the government ones—SEIU, teachers’ unions, and the like.
Although a few workers in disfavored, non-green industries will be ignored, by and large unions are getting extremely favorable treatment from Obama’s Executive Branch.
On reflection, it seems to me that the union members getting the shaft might be precisely the ones that are in industries where some union protection might be justifiable. Ironic, huh?

Are we there yet?
