>>>Get REAL, the Jimmy Hoffa, mob influenced union days have been gone for well over 30 years.

If you say so.

>>>The union uses a very small portion of dues money to support politicians that will affect positve change for their membership

Wow, you could have lifted that right off the union propaganda materials.

Why does a union which is a collective bargaining instrument representing "workers" before the management of a specific company need political influence?

>>>I think the answer is obvious.

Maybe I'm just a little slow then...

Since you openly admit that the unions can't outspend corporate America....

Could you explain to me exactly how a waitress benefits from the millions spent on political activities by the union...?
