pensions. It is also a completely wasted investment in terms of the
dues money of union workers, who would rather see this money
spent towards fighting their employers for higher wages and
benefits.
Campaigning for Democrats weakens unions further because union
members will not be educated about the anti-union policies of the
Democrats. An educated union movement is a powerful one.
Labor is crucially weakened by the Democrats because unions must
water down their demands and weaken their actions to make them
non-threatening to the Democrats. The AFL-CIO was demanding that
25 million jobs be created before Obama made it clear he would do
no such thing. Now the AFL-CIO is silent on the jobs issue as it touts
the job creating "successes" of Obama.
The lack of campaigning for Obama by labor's rank and file will
confirm to the Democrats what they already know; unions are not as
politically important as the big banks and will be treated accordingly.
