And then we wonder why union membership is at historic lows.

1. INR? its such a contradiction

but we have to remember that in many cases, it's the union leaders that are endorsing while many of their members are supporting Bernie or OM. Not every union polls its members.

4. When potential union members see actions like this from union leaders, it tends to ...

... reduce the incentive to join a union. I mean, why bother if the leadership is just going to sell you down the river?

5. right. and i think it goes beyond endorsements

if leaders seem to be about themselves and not the members, they will not be about the members on any issue. huge disincentive, which is too bad 'cause we really need unions.

2. When did Lou Dobbs return to CNN?

He was doing just fine with FOX.

3. A true disappointment

All it has done is lose the labor movement supporters. It teaches it's political supporters that labor will sell them out as well. Why should someone vote and support labor like Bernie has if the labor movement won't support them over someone like Hillary.

6. Bernie will.support labor because he believes in it

Hillary will only support it as a means to an end.

8. This is true

But why should moderate dems support labor when their is clearly is no downside to not supporting it. Labor had shown it is wholly owned subsidiary of the establishment democratic party.

7. Candidate for the middle class?

Every single time Hillary says she supports the little guy and the working class...... I just laugh. It's such a farce now for her to even say it.
