99% of Union Donations Go to Leftist Causes and Candidates

From 2012 through 2016, labor unions donated roughly $765 million to political causes and groups, and a staggering 99% of those donations went to leftist political causes or candidates. Luka Ladan, communications director for the Center for Union Facts, stated, “For years, labor unions have hijacked member dues to fund Planned Parenthood, Emily’s List and other pro-abortion groups. Yet many union members oppose the abortion lobby. The Employee Rights Act would require union officials to obtain permission before spending dues dollars on left-wing political advocacy.”

For example, in 2007 alone, labor unions donated $1.8 million to Planned Parenthood, $810,000 to Emily’s Choice and $45,000 to NARAL Pro-Choice America. Often a majority of union members do not know that their dues are funding the abortion lobby.

Many unions in Maryland (AFSME)collect mandatory dues from State and County employees. AFSME negotiates the contracts but.........the contacts are NON-BINDING. AFSME collects dues from employees for a contract that the State and Counties do not have to abide by. Only and idiot would find this a suitable relationship.
