But, all the employers I work for hire union people. If I weren't union, I couldn't work for them. They won't hire non union. The plant I work at now only hires union employees, construction and the plant people.

I understand what you are saying. My point is that if the union did not exist, those jobs would still need to be filled. Unions do not create jobs but when union bosses support bad government policies like open borders and card check legislation, the can help destroy both union jobs and non-union jobs.

Unlike a growing number of Americans, I do not blame unions for causing the migration of manufacturing jobs to places like China and Mexico, I blame politicians. Both Republicans and Democrats have supported legislation that has shrunk the American labor market but in too many cases, union bosses have endorsed Democratic candidates who support policies that are self-destructive for American workers.

It just amazes me that union members in sectors like manufacturing and construction continue to support corrupt union leaders who endorse policies that are destroying union jobs while clinging to the belief that the Republican Party is solely responsible for the shrinking number of American jobs filled with union labor.
