In reply to the discussion: Is Hillary pro Union? [View all]BainsBane
(53,137 posts)entirely without evidence. At least one union posted their vote tallies that were overwhelming in favor of Clinton. I saw some person not even in a union demand that the union turn over their ballots to them to inspect, like they had a right to insert themselves in that union's business, like the workers owed them something. They don't own anyone outside their union a goddamn thing.
Are you in a union? Do you know how they work? The rank and file elects the leaders to represent them so they can engage in collective bargaining. Without organization, there is no union, and leadership is part of the organization.
Additionally, there is absolutely no proof of that allegation that the unions violated the views of the majority of members. People point to a few odd Twitter or FB posts of particular union members disagreeing with the endorsement, as though it is anything but anecdotal.
