text: In reply to message57187: I worked for the phone company 10 years, member of the Communications Workers of America. CWA took my dues for 10 years, forced us to go on strike 3 times for 2 weeks each time, and only gave me bread, cheese, beans and rice. They financially supported local Democrat politicians and wanted us all to vote Democrat. After 10 years they screwed me over and out of my job. Theres no logical reason for unions that I can tell.
