Good point about the difference between state and federal unions. Based on what I have read it was the success in co-opting state employee unions and taking state tax dollars to support the election of Dems that motivated Kennedy.

The same concept holds true though whether at the local, state or federal level. Taxpayers have their hard earned money confiscated at the point of a gun. Friendly politicians take that money and dole it out in an irresponsible fashion to unionized workers. Unionized workers are forced to give a portion of those tax dollars to the union in order to have the job. The unions take those tax dollars and use them to support the very same friendly politicians to be reelected. In this case it is 98% Dems that are big government types and benefit from this money laundering operation.

So the very people that are paying for this and make less money on average and have worse benefits than government workers are being scammed by the unions and Dems.
