SEIU is afiliated with Acorn and that alone makes them corrupt! They gladly involve themselves in politics rather than in improving the everyday lives of their members. Just like Acorn they need to be investigated and then put in jail! as a former union member i was always and will always be infuriated by the union ttaking my dues and uing them to help a politian get elected or to stay in office. It never brougt another nickel to me or my family. Most unions are just in it for the money! Your money and what it can do for the union bosses not the union memebers! Invetsigate SEIU and get then the hell out of politics!

Our union dues have gone up and up, and we never get anything for it. Everything we have is from the old International Ladie's Garment Makers' Union years. They blame the Management–and management everywhere–but they never say, "Seeing as Management is so unfeeling about your wages and the cost of living, we'll freeze or even lower your dues." That will never happen. When we have thought about refusing a new contract over the years, and possibly risking a strike, they always talk us out of it. No wages during a strike, no dues. When we have lots of lay-offs, they still have us pay our dues. They think we're too stupid to notice, but we can't do anything now.

Same things happens at the Pennsylvania Convention in Philadelphia. Ask Glen Beck how he had to pay Union worker to carry bottled water to the inside

A Union Member can inform the Business Mgr to not allow any portion of their dues going to political causes…This has to be in writing of course. And really I don't know how that action can be monitored.

Associations are quite similar to unions as well, such as The American Medical Asoc. And for a while, the AMA was leaning towards the ObamaCare. I had a surgery last month and talked with many doctors ahd nurses and their biggest complaint today is not receiving payments from the insurance companies. 2nd complaint was being under paid by Medicare and/or Medacaid.

America is going thru "the time of Jacob's Troubles" & we are losing the Blessings of Abraham for our violations.

Union dues= Extortion

Not exactly. It is more like pimping. You can't take care of yourself some someone like you takes a cut and pats you on the head and says you are better now.

Unions pimp payroll.
