AFL-CIO, AND UAW, THREATEN TO WITHDRAW SUPPORT OF DEMOCRAT, FOR STANCE ON CHINA.

In a move, that caught a lot of people off guard, the leaders two of the nation's largest unions, threatened to withdraw their support of a Democratic candidate here in Michigan, because of his backing the proposal to give China a status, of most favored nation, which would open up trade with the largest populated nation in the world.

It is unclear if they are doing the same thing nationwide, but it is possible.

The unions see this opening of free trade with China, a threat to the jobs of their members, as the market could very easily supply big corporations with a limitless number of workers, that would work for far less than union workers are now being paid.

For years, the unions have battled Republicans on this issue, and have all but said that they wouldn't give them a dime. As a result, the Democrats have been getting a free ride, every election.

But, now, that has changed, or has it???

Looking back over the years, one thing that has always concerned me, is the fact that in a system, such as ours, where you have two major parties, contending for votes, one party, seems to get a free ride from people, while the other has to work their tails off, to even get a mention.

Anyway, the Democrats, seem, not to be worried about union support, because, in heir minds, the unions have no where else


to go.

With the Democrats, constantly harping on how the Republicans are only for big corporations and the wealthy, which is not true at all, where are they going to turn??

Third party candidates, have no chance at all to even get mentioned as possible contenders. So, they figure they have the unions over a barrel.

This is one of the dangers of putting all of your eggs in one basket. You become a prisoner of what ever they do, whether good or bad.

You have nothing to bargain with, because you have limited your choices, as to where you can go. It's like being on an airplane, if something goes wrong, you can't just get off. You have to wait for the plane to land.

So, the unions, really, are just blowing smoke. They know what they are going to do, because they have been doing it for over 40 years. Support the Democrats, and adjust to the new competition.
