The problems of unions are compounded by their support of bad policies like affirmative action and socialistic government programs, and the politicians who support these policies as well.

I attended large union rally during the last presidential electionâ??s Republican Primary Convention in New York City (Sept. 2004), and I was outraged at the speakers they had , which included several well known Bush-hating celebrities. I donâ??t need the AFL-CIO to tell me who I should, or should not, vote for, much less the extremely wealthy, left-wing Hollywood people they brought in to speak at the rally. I believe that some of these celebrities' comments were shown to us via live satellite broadcast. I was on 9th Avenue, they were on a beach in California or Hawaii, lol.
