Politics and organized labor have been forever entwined by necessity.

I'm a die hard second generation UAW retiree, and I wouldn't want my dues to go to GOP PACs. Unfortunately, there are too many brothers and sisters who think republicans would serve them better. Those are the ones who complain that union dues don't benefit them personally, but political parties isn't the only place those dues go. Much of it is spent to reinforce the international and recruit new members. In organized labor, there is absolute strength in numbers.

Of course there's a good reason unions only donate to one party, much as a farmer doesn't feed the wolves. If unions didn't augment the coffers of good democrats, we'd only be reading about organized labor in history books.
