It never ceases to amaze me the way these
"progressives" for Obama write about things. Here is something from a
publication which claims to be "left:"
"As for GOP Gov. John
Kasich-still haunted by a 2010 declaration that "we need to break the
back of organized labor" - all focus on his end is on gearing for a
probable toss-up re-election campaign. With his approval ratings still
well under 50%, he can't afford to lose
any votes, particularly from the 30% of union members who tend to vote
Republican, unless they have good reason not to."
Why would 30% of the union members in Ohio ever have any reason to vote Republican?
Doesn't this tell us something about the piss-poor job the "leaders" of
organized labor who support Obama are doing when it comes to educating
workers?
here in Minnesota the leaders of the teachers' union
have actually initiated a caucus with in their union for Republican
teachers. These same "leaders" endorsed the most right wing Minnesota
Republican State Senator, Tony Cornish.
All of this helps to confuse, rather than educate, working people.
But not only is there this confusion being sown; simultaneously workers
are strengthening the power of the very politicians who they have to
fight in order to defend their rights and their livelihoods.
Never mind these labor "leaders" lacking the very basics of class consciousness, they don't even have any common sense.
