OpenSecrets.org has documented a radical shift if lobbying expenses by government worker unions.  In fact, their lobbying expenditures now swamp the lobbying expenses of other unions.  Government unions, of course, are pushing for more government and higher taxes — even if it ends up hurting their “allies” in other unionized sections of the economy.  So much for “solidarity” among union workers.
