Having paid close attention the past several years to how unions operate both in the public and private sectors, I’ve made my mind up. I will no longer vote for any tax increases or political candidate who advocates government by spending and entitlements.
I’m not supporting a subpar education system where my tax dollars go to fund teachers’ salaries so a portion of those salaries go to a union that pays for political power and policy that has nothing to do with education or my beliefs. I like teachers, but unions are corrupt to the core.
And to all Boeing union employees who considered going on strike for the upcoming new project: go away. Quit and let young people with families have those jobs. Let people who want to work and need work have those jobs. There should be no more special privileges to union workers getting ridiculous benefits compared to the powerless lower/middle class.
And as for public unions, it would be a lot less insulting if government at every level would quit pretending the public employee unions were separate entities.
