I think it's criminal the way unions steal dues to pay for candidates which many of the union members don't support.

If they want to support political candidates, such as the ones running for President, seems to me the least they should do is attempt to balance it according to a reasonable estimate of vote from the rank-and-file members. Instead of the one sided (always liberal Democrat) running for President methodology.

Additionally, union leaders should get permission from each member of the rank-and-file before using their union dues for political purposes. And they should sign a form dictating which party (if any) gets the endorsement.

Taking a members union dues and sending it to a candidate the member doesn't support is nothing but theft.
