The Center for Union Facts has launched a new website, www.PublicUnionFacts.com, to track more than $1.5 billion in public sector union political spending over the past two decades. It found that these unions give 90 percent of political funding to Democrats.
Democrats in California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Oregon alone received more money from public unions than Republicans did nationwide.
"There's a growing disconnect between how public unions are spending money and what workers actually want," Charlyce Bozzello, the center’s communications director, said. "The breakdown of union members who support Democrats versus Republicans is likely not 90 to 10, as years of union spending would have us believe. With access to more facts, employees can hold their representatives accountable."
The majority of union spending of $1.2 billion occurred at the state and local level. In all 50 states, public unions spent more on Democratic candidates than on Republicans, the center found. Of the $1.5 billion that was sent directly to Republican or Democrat parties or candidates, 90 percent went to Democrats.
