My father complained bitterly & often about having to join the Teamsters Union mid 1960's to drive a semi. He vehemently hated paying dues. I remember our family being able to visit the dentist no charge. A GOP guy. But over the years, it's clear to see that income inequality and top 1 percenters could care less about employees without unions' insistence on wages, health care, benefits.

My husband belongs to Bricklayers Local 5 NY (retired) and this union always supports Democrats.
