The State Of The Unions The Democrat party has a lot to be concerned about the state of the unions in this country. The politicization of the labor unions is just one. Some don't want to see their money being used for politics. A not so minor loss in campaign money from the unions next time around. More cash for Soros to pony up now I guess. And if you're going to take his money, you better sing his tune, like you have been. Don't stop now. Great editorial in today's Opinion Journal of the Wall Street Journal online about the future for organized labor as well as how 'democratic' they have been. In the wake of the GOP takeover of Congress the year before, Mr. Sweeney promised to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into electoral politics to stop the Gingrich revolution. He staffed AFL-CIO headquarters with activists from the political left--environmental groups, culturally liberal outfits--and made the union consortium a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party. Very Old Labor. Being a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC isn't working out for Old Labor. [OpinionJournal.com] 12:53:03 AM    comment [] trackback []
