The problem with Neil's argument is that it's illegal for unions to use members' money for political campaigns. The dues Neil references are voluntary dues designed for political endeavors that AFSCME believes will support their members. I know this because I voluntarily pay those dues as an AFSCME member.
Why didn't this Labor Notes guy use this oportunity to expose the fact that our whole rotten, sick & dying capitalist/imperialist system is going down the tubes? Why should the majority of the worlds population who produces all the wealth leave the political power in the hands of a small minority who's bottom line is nothing more than creating a profit?
