I don't think too many people have forgotten that Unions are some of the
biggest
contributors to campaigns and the way some did their endorsements have left
an
indelible mark on the memory not to be forgotten.
Many Union/Labor members are coming to realize that endorsements are not
for the best
and the best way for anyone to effectively contribute to politics is to
process their
own opinions, give money according to their own comfort level within the
legal
amount and caste a knowledgable vote for the person that best represents
them.
What some might call effectively contribute, others might call control of
the masses.

Many on the Issues lists forget who are some of the larger PACS. The
unions through
their COPE committees are one of the largest contributors to campaigns
including
many of the City Council races. Efforts to ban or restrict or force
voluntary recusals
will restrict the way many of us union members effectively contribute to
politics.
I know of no way to separate out Union PACS from other PACS.
