Guarding the pocket book is a reasonable assumption made by this article, but also GOP controlled Governor's offices and Legislature's are stealing money from the worker's pocketbook's. Also, many members are committed to keeping their union membership, but guarding just how much, if any, of their money goes toward voluntary political contributions.
For Union members, we must remember though, in these times, we will start our path to recovery at the ballot box and that does cost money. It is tough for many, but lets not let the GOP control cripple our ability to be effective players in the political arena. We need many worker-friendly candidates and not candidates for the corporations and the rich. That takes voluntary political contributions in addition to the boots on the ground.
