Union Says Photo IDs not Necessary to Vote — Unless You Vote to Leave Union

In recent arguments against states requiring voters to show a photo ID, the United Auto Workers Local 6000 has compared concerns about voter fraud to belief in the fictional Loch Ness monster and Yeti.

The union wrote on its Facebook page that requiring a photo ID for voting is the goal of the “billionaire funded” American Legislative Exchange Council, and is intended to create obstacles for voters who might support a more “progressive” agenda.

When its own members, however, want to exercise their freedoms under the new right-to-work law in Michigan to opt out of paying union dues as a condition of employment, UAW 6000 says they must show a photo ID.

Local 6000 is the state employees bargaining unit (I remember it well; the alternative was MSEA, KLERC, a tiny, more radical, independent, or SWOC — State Employees Organizing Committee — an avowedly Marxist splinter group that was on a drive to take over MSEA, failed, and helped spearhead the UAW takeover, then tried to get elected to Local 6000’s high offices).
