Americans' Support for Labor Unions Continues to Recover

11. What is your definition of "so many folks"?

It's a much smaller percentage than many people think. I'd love if we could kick out the right wingers represented by many unions. Unfortunately with the right to work laws, we have to represent these scabs with our hard earned cash and union dues, even when they skip out on paying. Most of the Republican union members are ex-military. They willfully vote against their own self interest. I can tell you that they are flying the gay pride flag in front of the plant my wife works at, and a large group of UAW members from MI went to NY to protest police brutality and the killing of Eric Garner. They marched in solidarity waving the UAW flag. It's just like any group, there are people who vote against their own self interests. Look at gay Republicans. But as a whole, of say at least 90% are die hard Democrats in the UAW. Probably around the same percentage in most unions.
