Did you know that many of these employees are given time off to help with political campaigns with pact money and on the ground through volunteer service…they volunteer their time but we don’t volunteer our tax dollars. There shouldn’t be a public union pact. They sell it as doing their civic duty but let’s face it anyone who supports any union will get their support. Do you want your tax dollars spent on getting democrats elected? I’d feel the same way if unions were doing this for republicans because it’s not right.
Do you see any legitimate reasons for public unions to exist? Unions might make sense in some labor intensive industries but besides this their value declines dramatically and so has their membership. Please let your representatives know how you feel. Let them know you don’t support public unions and what specifically can the representatives do to get rid of them. Here’s the email contact information you’ll need it does cover all members of Congress and the Senate in all states:
