I agree to an extent, but I think there's arguments both ways. The fact is politicians need to uphold their legally binding agreements (which the Legislature has not done lately) and in exchange, perhaps unions don't always need to be political machines, which makes them a lot of enemies, that more often than not are Republicans right now. If we were able to be more neutral, we might be able to influence them more our way, but when we endorse their opposition, especially in this red of a state, the union is DOA when it gets to the republican legislators office with demands.
