Without performing the research, it would appear that all of the above mentioned organizations have an affiliation with the AFL-CIO.
Therefore the base reasoning for becoming organized has not changed. The purpose of the AFL-CIO and its unions is to provide a power base for the Democratic Party's idealism.
Anyone who claims to be a conservative that agrees to be represented by any of the AFL-CIO unions including the TWU is just lying to themselves. Think of your core beliefs and ask yourself is that what my party represents.
Well BUCK, an ENORMOUS THANK YOU ! for Finally stateing what I've been saying for DECADES,..........that TRUE UNION MEN, AFL-CIO Union Men.............. DO NOT vote REPUBLICAN !!!!!!!!!!!!
Unions, yes AFL-CIO Unions..........are only as Strong as thier Members. "Weak knee'd members" get "Weak Knee'd" contracts" ( Do I have to post the TWU election results of DECADES to see which Locals consistantly vote YES) ? ( I KNOW you KNOW where I'm going with this ! ! ! ! )
WHY ( 0 ) WHY has TWU local 100 (NYC Subway) been so $$$ successful all these years ? ?
Because they have had, and still have ' B A L L S ' !!!!
Why has the UPS AFL-CIO Teamsters Union been $$$ Successful all these years ??? BECAUSE THEY HAVE ' BALLS '
WHY has the ILWU AFL-CIO Teamsters Union (International Longshoremans/Wharehouse Union) been so $$$$$$$$ successfull ?? ............. BECAUSE they have HUGE ' BALLS "
It's all about ' FEAR ' Buck. If the Company ' FEARS ' the Union (local 100/UPS/ILWU) the members get lucrative contracts. On the other hand, if the members have no B A L L S, they get SHITE ! The Union Leadership is Strong when they know thier members are strong, weak when they know the members are weak. The leadership is NOT the union, Y O U and your fellow co-workers ARE THE UNION !
Buck. Do you honestly think that the AA/TWU would be in it's current deplorable shape if the AMT's in OK., and the FSC's in TX. had voted
' NO ' (these many years) along with us ' Hard line Lunatics ' in cities like BOS/JFK/LGA/EWR/PHL ???
Buck, I think you Know VERY well what the answer would be !
Sadly the ' Chickens have come home to roost'
Real UNION MEN do NOT vote Republican !
