I have never been in a public union, always an AFL-CIO union, but they are the backup to the middle class and poor in doing jobs many would not think of bothering to do, like caregiving.

To hell with Rand Paul, the Koches and the GOP for trying to force national RTW laws! This is just another attack on good, hard working people.

And it is purely political.
