You can't honestly believe this can you? The teachers union uses union dues to contribute to the campaigns of democratic politicians and then in turn the politicians pay them back when it comes to collective bargaining. If you are talking about private unions that is a different story and up to the companies/businesses to make their own decisions. However with public unions the employer is the public and the people in charge are the politicians. Why not eliminate the ability of the union to contribute any money to either political party and then see what happens?
