The leadership of America’s labor unions have gone the way of America’s professors: they are leftist and out of touch with many of their union members. Union leaders overwhelmingly supported Kamala and “Tampon Tim.” The unions gave millions of dollars to the Kamala debacle. Interestingly, exit polls revealed that NEARLY HALF OF UNION MEMBERS SUPPORTED TRUMP!

Think about that fact. Union leaders ignored the views of the hard working members who pay their dues. The union leaders sold their souls in a Faustian bargain to Kamala and assumed their members would vote for the Democrats.

Over the past decades, the union leadership has moved far left of their members on the political scale. Think about the Covid-19 pandemic. The public school union bosses demanded that schools should be shut down for several years. Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers blocked every attempt of many state governors to re-open public schools. This obstinance was in the face of studies that revealed the harm that lockdowns caused for students and the lack of risk that teachers and students faced from Covid.

During the past decades, the union leaders have gone from center-left politically to hard core Marxist. Look at the way the union leadership has supported the Hamas supporters who hate Jews and harass Jewish students on college campuses. Look at the way the union leaders supported the BLM supporters who were burning down cities in their protest marches.

Because of these leftist policies, Donald Trump was able to reach out to the union members who are not in favor of the leftist causes that the union leaders are supporting. 

Hopefully, the Trump administration will  investigate the financial improprieties of the union leaders. For too long the Democrats have turned a blind eye to the illegal actions of the union leaders. In return the union leaders gave millions of dollars to the Democrat politicians. 

The time has come to free the union workers from the stranglehold of corrupt Democrat politicians. 60 years ago, Bobby Kenndy exposed the corruption of the union leadership. We need another person to step up and expose the corruption that exists today.
