Union bosses are spending so much money trying to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Democrats are expressing concern that their won’t be enough political cash left for their coffers. The Hill reports that New York liberal Sen. Chuck Schumer is expressing concern about a “cash drain” that will leave elected Democrats without the usual hundreds of millions of dollars from union coffers spent on their behalf.
The one thing we have never had to worry about was the union bosses not spending enough of their union members due’s money on politics. While elected officials who benefit from union political largess care about a political cash drain they certainly express little concern about the fact that union workers continue to see their union dues flushed down the drain on wasteful political spending like recall elections.
California’s Big Labor-concocted A.B.5, signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019, made it almost impossible for workers and firms to bounce back after 2020’s COVID-19 lockdowns. Now Biden bureaucrats want to federalize A.B.5!
Mr. Fain undoubtedly knows full well that there is a complete disconnect between the UAW hierarchy and the UAW rank-and-file on the Biden presidency and whether workers will benefit from its extension for another four years.
Political pundits of every stripe have noted, and attempted to explain, a dramatic shift in recent years in the coalitions that back America’s two major political parties.
