That's a very weak bargaining position: Give us what we want or our members, a small minority of the electorate, won't vote for you in two years. Why should they be weaker than other unions?
- snomad 11y agoIt isn't just the vote of the membership. It is the dollars of the organization. In California, the California Teachers Union and SEIU are regularly 2 of the top 3 campaign spenders.
