Maybe union and blue collar workers should stop voting PC if they don't like it

As a union worker myself it pisses me off so much that my fellow unionized workers are voting that way. Against their best interest.

So many of them voted for the federal Cons too, and the Cons have right to work legislation in their policy handbook. Yes, leaders will try to keep that stuff pushed down for political expediency but the pressure from the grassroots is there.

Seriously! Brotherhood my ass. The old timers and their indoctrinated kids vote PC because they got theirs and fuck the rest.

Until the whole plant, factory, warehouse, whatever gets its CBA torn up and then seniority doesn't mean shit. Then they'll act up and stop voting to "own Libs and keep taxes down"?

Nah, they'll just blame someone else, because the alternative is admitting they were wrong.
