The most powerful CA union - prison guards union.
More convicts - more power to the union. Most of the convicts are war on drugs victims, with majority - marijuana related.
- ghotli 16y agoMan. Prison guard unions. Those don't seem like a great idea. I guess having that right to unionize is out there, but in this case it certainly doesn't seem right. Sounds ripe for corruption.

Well, with your taste to great ideas you'll have fun looking at this one as well http://www.correctionscorp.com/ http://www.correctionscorp.com/ : "CCA's 19th Annual Chairman’s Charity Golf Classic hosted nearly 300 golfers and donated almost $150,000 to nonprofit organizations in Middle Tennessee.

- hristov 16y agoWhat is your point? AFAIK the prison guards union is not against prop 19, they said they are neutral.
- VladRussian 16y agoThey aren't that direct. Look at least an inch deep beyond the surface, What they do, whom they support. For example, in the Oakland mayor race among the 2 front runners, one favors more police cuts vs. cuts in public programs (like after school, etc...) while the other would cut 180 degrees differently. Question: whom the union supports? Hint: whose policies would allow for higher yield and harvesting of more inmates? Bonus question: why would the union support anybody in the Oakland mayoral race?
