Read the post you replied to; unions fund politicians who are friendly toward unions because corporations fund politicians who are antagonistic toward unions (or, if we are being charitable, let's say "politicians who are friendly to corporate interests").
- chrisseaton 5y agoThey’re friendly forwards unions… oh but by the way they’re also anti-Semitic. No thanks. I don’t want to fund that. Imagine if for example you were a Green or a Liberal. The idea of funding Labour could be seriously offensive to you.
- betterunix2 5y ago...because the corporations on the other side of the table would never support antisemites [0], white nationalists [1], fascists [2], or political parties that harbor and support such deplorable people [3]. Not that the workers have any say in who their employers make contributions to.

- chrisseaton 5y agoI don’t get your argument? Other people fund evil so workers might as well do the same?
- betterunix2 5y agoLook, I already explained this in my other comments, but you are just ignoring those and repeating anti-union propaganda. Either you are a troll or you are some kind of paid anti-union consultant; if you actually want an answer to your question, read what I wrote again.
