This was a nice story. I love unions, but man, I hated when they are the type that no longer care for their people as much as themselves. Some unions get away with it because they are just big box chain unions, where they represent the smaller groups all over and no one is really active in them. But to see this after the unions came out for Hillary when we know from the Clintons past they are not the most pro union (Arkansas was at the bottom 3 I think as far as union power was concerned...birthplace of Walmart). Maybe this will open some eyes and shut up the people that made a big deal about unions supporting Hillary instead.

Great find!
