Union Workers Unite!!!!!

I'm writing this for all union members ,( those few that are left ) with one request . If you're in the union then actually be a union ?! What I'm trying to say is don't be a bunch of individuals with your own self interest . Don't be a union with separate pay tiers , or separate contracts , and by all means don't let your shop Steward , or union representative tell you how to vote . When you let these thing happen your not really a union anymore . If you see these thing accruing in your union then you can be sure its been bought out , but don't feel bad the majority of unions in this country have been bought and paid for long before you joined one . Having once been a union member one thing always bothered me , and that's when a shop steward or union rep . tells you that you need to vote Democrat , because a Democrat looks out for the working man . 1. Why do i need a politician for job security if I'm a union member ? 2. When in recent history has a Democrat looked out for the working man ? 3. Why would the union have anything to do with politics in the first place ? Now for those of you who are reading this let me clarify one thing . I'm not trying to bash Democrats solely on this issue , but historically speaking unions have always voted Democrat . I find this curious for several reasons . In the early 1920s when organized labor first began the government both Republican and Democrat along with big businesses have tried everything they could to destroy organized labor . Partly because of the crime element that went with it , but mainly because it affected the companies bottom line , which in turn effects a companies campaign contributions . In my opinion what drove the nail in the coffin of organized labor was the passing of NAFTA . Which was pulled off the shelf by a Democratic controlled congress and sighed by a Democratic president . On the flip side you have CAFTA created by a Republican controlled congress and signed by a Republican president . So i ask you why do unions need the government , and why do union members believe that Democrats will save their jobs ?
