Maybe - why would that happen? Oh yeaaahhh... that union thing...

18000 jobs gone. How many of those people voted Democrat, at their union's urging? Worked out real well.

I doubt how they voted has any impact whatsoever to their current situation.

Not a direct result - no - the timeline is too short (10 days). Unless the givebacks were expanded to offset ObamaCare expenses, but even that seems too soon.

But, does it not cause one to question their political alignment? The same union that told you to vote Democratic is the one that lost you your job.

i'm not a big union fan. i think some of the unions have lost touch with why they ever began.
that said, how many people think there's a possible correlation between lower union membership and lower wages? it's something to consider. there was an article a few months back that said as unions have gone downhilll, so have wages on average.
they aren't the entire solution, nor are they the entire problem. henry ford operated under the belief that the employee should make enough to buy the product he's making. in some places, that holds true. others, not at all.

that's a hell of a leap to make.
