It's no secret that Big Labor has taken some hard hits over the last 2 decades. Probably beginning with Ronald Reagan's breaking of the Air Traffic Controller's Strike on August 5th 1981, Labor Unions have increasingly drawn the ire of Conservative-leaning America. Oddly however, even after Democrats (Labor's natural ally) took control of the White House in 1992, Union membership in America continued to fall.

So Big Labor plans to take no chances when it comes to current political contests. They intend to take over Washington D.C., America be damned.

They [Big Labor] understood long ago what even today the GOP and the business community have yet to grasp. This election is their best shot in a half-century of making over Washington. Not everyone is thrilled with a Clinton or an Obama, but this matters little next to the big prize. As Gerald McEntee, the savvy head of the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees, succinctly put it, Big Labor is looking for a "trifecta" - the Oval Office, the House and a filibuster-proof Senate. And after that, the biggest rewrite of labor law in modern America.

If allowed to buy their way into control of government, Big Labor will use it's tool (Democrats) to force Unionization on American businesses, expand the perversely high Prevailing Wage on private work and remove secret ballot elections from the unionization process. Americans that intend to vote Democrat in November must be aware that these are the facts.
 
Should you be a Democrat and opposed to control of America by rich special interest groups, I would seriously consider voting Republican. Labor Unions increase the costs of goods and services, play favorites with those that are connected over those that are not and discriminate against workers that, for whatever reason, are not in the union. Their current desperation to remain relevant has caused them to attack non-union construction workers and harass senior citizens in an attempt to coerce businesses into hiring union-only.

Be very clear. Big Labor in America is dying. But it is still well funded by the dues of hard working Americans, some of which pay those dues simply to have a job. Big Labor has every intention of leveraging every union dues dollar into handing a strengthened majority and the White House to their tools the Democrats.
