If they were truly Unions then when a Union in any state was in trouble EVERY single Union would do everything and I mean EVERYTHING in their power to help that Union. that doesn't happen, so it is actually quite easy for the Republicans to defang them... If a Teamster in Michigan was in trouble Every single truck driving fool in America should park their rig....If they don't and just let the Michigan Union fend for themselves then...well we see what happens then...
