Unions fine members who don’t show support for Elizabeth Warren

Unions fine members who don’t show support for Elizabeth Warren. Cameraman asks member if he was fined for not going to a Warren-Brown debate: “A hundred and fifty,” the man says, although he later adds, “It’s two-fifty if you don’t go.” Well, ya gotta support your local Cherokee, don’t ya?

  • Oh dear, this little nugget of information isn't going to do Fauxcahontis's Election bid much good.

    • Well, if it were broadcast on MSM, it would hurt her campaign. But I'm not holding my breath.

  • Wow. Only in America! Can a woman too ugly to get a date pay for an escort, then purchase votes to get a US Senate Seat - while all the time claiming Cherokee Heritage! What a GREAT COUNTRY!!!

  • I was in the IUPAT for ten years and was forced to donate time to the union. Once they put me in an office to phone bank for John Kerry. I did everything I could to piss off my fellow union members on the phone as they didn't know who I was. It was a blast!

    • I can just imagine you on the phone: "So will you vote for dumbass erm, *that bananafaced turncoat* again? Remember, a vote for Kerry is a vote for his new yacht."

  • Talk about arm twisting its time for the rank and file to bounce out the union leadership out the door.

    • Because many unions act as another layer of gov't. They get 1st crack at their members paychecks, just like Uncle Sam. If people don't like this sort of activity, they need to make their states RIGHT TO WORK states.
