We lost this state TWICE. I am begging my Union brothers and sisters to understand this one important point: Our politics are killing us. Union leaders need to get back to serving the needs of our brothers and sisters in labor and stop being water carriers for the Democratic Party. We’re losing efforts like this because ‘big labor’ is seen as a political branch of the Democratic Party and as such we alienate 40% to 50% of the labor force and our own members. Drop the politics and focus on the workers.
