Big Labor threw tons of cash at Democrats, but workers voted red: report

The New York Post reports:

Big Labor pumped $530 million of workers’ dues into mostly Democratic Party groups and liberal causes over a four-year period — with dismal results, according to a new analysis.

Despite the unions’ massive cash infusion into Democratic causes, GOPer Donald Trump still won the union-heavy Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio in his presidential bid against Dem candidate Hillary Clinton. A Republican-led Congress, expected to be hostile to union causes, also was voted into office.

“Labor unions have become the ATM of the Democratic Party — despite the known fact that 40 percent of union households vote for Republican candidates,” said Richard Berman, director of the Center for Union Facts, a group typically critical of unions which conducted the study.

“On top of direct super PAC donations to Democrats, Big Labor hijacks members dues money to bankroll hundreds of liberal special interest groups,” Berman added.
