Trouble in paradise? 
I read another story late last week that said that the AFL-CIO has already layed-off a quarter of their staff. How dare they? Do you have a union that represents you with the union?
From 33% of private sector employees down to 8%?
Democrats pushed NAFTA but it is the Republicans who are their enemies?
Democrats are worried the checks will stop coming in.
Many of the dissident unions are not happy about all the checks (their money) that were written willy nilly to Democrat campaigns by the AFL-CIO.
Will be interesting to see the implosion. If you get layed-off by the AFL-CIO (A.K.A. Big labor machine that is nothing more than another profit taking layer from workers) are you going to look for another union job?
I am sure that you will come in and spin this to make it all Republicans fault that Big Labor :
1. Is so corrupt and wasteful they pizzed off 1/3 of their members.
2. So unappealing that their membership has dropped 250%.
3. Hitched their wagon to democrats who really don't give a rats ass about workers, just the workers due's money converted into PAC campaign donations.
4. Has tried to play Big politics and failed. (Didn't they endorse Dick Gephart?)
5. Have basically bankrupt the one area they had locked up tight, the airline industry.
I think organized labor is not neccessarily a bad thing, but one thing is certain, organizations that are good do not implode.
