<<And guess what, if you're "pro-chamber of commerce," that's a euphemism for being "anti-labor." >> I don not agree with this assessment. It does not have to be an us versus them mentality. Capital and investment create jobs. Everywhere I look I see employee benefits expanding not because of some union or congressional mandate but because of a shortage of skilled employees. <<Are we trying to rein in labor contributions through dues check-off and the like? Yes. This doesn't add up. Does this add up to you?>> Some of the members don't want their dues to support candidates with whom they are not in agreement. Sounds reasonable to me. <<Why don't we quit worrying about labor so much and start worrying more about who's next after Bridgestone/Firestone.>> I do not see the connection?
