I was a union member for 40 years and I still say that unions shouldn't meddle in politics...... I was even actively involved at a meeting, in getting a vote turned down in a motion to donate to a particular party, namely the NDP, and getting the union president mad at me (piss on him) .........and at the time I was voting NDP.....
At the time the reason I gave....(and it is still valid)....that it was unfair to the members that vote for other parties, to have part of their dues going to a political party that they don't agree with....
And the majority (so high that they didn't even need to count the votes) agreed with me!
