#1 Somehow this cozy relationship with unions, Progressive causes and politics has to end. If you belong to a union, your dues get collected by your work organization for the unions. Whether you agree with the Progressive cause or not, your dues go to support the Progressive cause. In a sense, through your dues you end up voting for the Progressive cause even though you might hate what they stand for. Your job is contingent upon belonging to the union in non-right-to-work states. This is bald faced coercion or shakedown--not much different than buying Mafia protection.

#2 Scott Walker upended the Union system in his state. Can that be repeated on a national level?

I think this explains why the media has been trumping Hillary as the heir apparent. They know she has the foot soldiers and solid financial backing of the unions. Progressive coalition falls apart into squabbly children without the unions.

Might be on their own initiative as well. I have a hard time believing ABC's George Stephanopolous is the only Clinton Foundation contributor in the media.

She's got the dough. The MSM follows the money, democrat money that is.

#6 IIRC as per LUCIANNE, BIG LABOR sezzes that only 1/4 of the World's workers have "good-paying" jobs.

Hillary had better be careful lest she lest she ends up being "JFK'ed" - US LABOR IS ALREADY MIGHTILY UPSET WID THE BAMMER DUE TO HIS ADMIN + WASHINGTON ALLOWING MILYUHNS-N-DILYUHNS OF FOREIGN MIGRANTS-WORKERS EASY ACCESS TO DOMESTIC US JOPS, BUT ITS NOT RECIPROCATED OVERSEAS BY ALLIED OR PARTNERED FOREIGN GOVTS VEE GRANTING DOMESTIC ACCESS TO US WORKERS.
