258. I follow your argument and totally get what you are saying.
It is about solidarity.

One can be for Public Education, against vouchers, vote for every levy that comes to the ballot and still not support the teachers' union.

And you can change the for and against in any manner and it can still be true - it is not mutually exclusive.

So if the argument boils down to support for the teachers union or not.. the question of solidarity is certainly a valid one.

The major purchase of a vehicle IS INDEED a perception to many of one's solidarity with the UAW. That cannot be denied.

I think you have a valid point. I do think that one can support Unions - all Unions and still make purchases or support policies that are perceived by the respective Unions as non-support. However, I feel continued dialog and explanation on how our actions translate to support is important.
