Unions are businesses also and they are in the business of representation..........thus CWA represents public workers today because technology has diminished the number of telephone workers. Since it requires many members to accomplish goals on behalf of membership,CWA expanded it's membership into the public sector where the growth of potential membership existed. The old adage is "there is strength in numbers " .
Everyone benefits from the unions accomplishments,even management who are not usually unionized ( police are one exception). CWA was always considered one of the most democratic ( not in the political sense) of the major unions in this country.
Distortion of the facts for political purposes serves no one . The republicans do a good job at the blame game but they have no compunction in failing to tell the whole truth for political purposes. Union membership is comprised of both Republicans and Democrats........lots of people from each party. It is not all about politics, it's about "fair representation" of workers rights.

The "Right to Work" concept that makes one think everyone can have a job is really the right to fire whoever they want for any reason they feel like.
We need to get rid of these damn good for nothing unions. They are the cause of the finacial crisis, if they didn't have their golden pensions and benefits we would all be doing so much better. Wake of liberal republicans with no backbone get rid of the unions
I almost lost my house because of these blood sucking unions.
we need strong republicans who will protect the hard working little guy instead of the rich and the unions
Get real. Unions represent all workers regardless of party. Unions ensure there is a standard of living for the working middle class, ensure that safety is maintained on the job, ensure that all workers are certified and trained in their respective trade so quality of work can be provided. Most importantly, unions ensure all workers are documented. And, being documented means the worker is paying taxes within the system not working around the system. Without this representation you not know who you are getting or the quality of work that would be provided.

It's the GOOD FOR NOTHING POLITICIANS that NEED TO GO ! ALL OF THEM FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE ARE WORTHLESS.
One big bunch of HYPOCRITES !!
The unions stand up for the ordinary working people and they did not cause any financial crisis...that was your Wall Street HOTSHOTS and all the finagling they did ! The bunch who speak with forked tongues and pick your pockets, anonymous 8:15 !
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that posts 2, 3 and 4 are written by the same wingnut. On the off chance there are more than one person that ill informed, I offer you a chance to educate yourself-

Yup,posts 2,3,4 are written by the wingnut from Majestic Avenue in Lincroft,a.k.a.by a host of aliases besides anonymous both on the blogs and in the APP comments.
Could not tell the truth if life depended on it.
The only ones the republicans represent are the rich or the wingnuts who in turn support the republican political numb skulls. Don't insult our intelligence with your diatribe anony poster 2,3,4....we all are aware just who you are.
