I'm sorry, but if you're in a UNION and you vote for a party that wants to destroy unions

22. Yep...I'm working in California now

But I've also worked in TX. I'm in a profession covered by CA unions that help enforce state labor laws..especially for my profession. I had a co worker in CA tell me that she wants to leave CA and go to a Republican, conservative state---specifically, TX.

I tried to tell her that our profession has NO protection in TX..there will be NO union to monitor the workplace, no union paperwork to fill out if she doesn't get a lunch, no OT/time and a half pay after 8 hrs of work in a day, NOTHING she has now union related will be there for her in TX.

She still went on and on about getting away from "this sanctuary, liberal state".

The closest she came to showing concern is that because she would be selling her CA house and buying a TX house it wouldn't be easy to "come back here" if things don't work out. No shit...it's not like she lives in a CA apartment and getting a TX apartment and can just leave TX and re-locate back here to CA.

She just wouldn't/can't make the connection how she benefits professionally from being in progressive CA as opposed to the republican haven state that she wants to move to....
