In the movie Groundhog Day, Bill Murray lives the same day over and over. In politics, recent headlines like “Unions gearing up to support Dems in November” is the equivalent. Every election, Big Labor bosses spend hundreds of millions of dollars in forced union dues to elect politicians who will do their bidding — most often at a huge cost to taxpayers. This year the amount pledged to spend has changed but the story remains the same. Until workers across the nation have the right to prevent their union dues from being wasted on political campaigns Big Labor will continue to spend — year after year, after year.
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.
