Unions are OK as long as they give their rank and file the freedom to decide their own political agenda. Municipal unions are different from private sector unions because they rely on taxpayer money and for that reason a courageous governor decided to take a stand. All Scott Walker wanted to do was to limit the municipal union's collective bargaining power and the left went crazy. Teachers violated state law and called in sick to riot and elected democrats fled the state like criminals to avoid doing their duty. Proof that the world is bass-ackward in the lilberal mind is that the teachers didn't get fired and the democrat legislators didn't get fired but the governor faced a recall election.
There was a time in this country for unions, and that time is long past. Not all unions are bad though, and most union members dont see their union as bad because they only see it at the local level, they dont see what the leadership at the national level is doing with their dues money and who it is being given to. If they knew, they would opt out if possible, if they cannot opt out the best thing they could do is vote accordingly at the polls regardless of who their union tells them to vote for.
