They will make you miserable in your job if you don't bow down to them. I always knew the right thing to say, but it pissed me off to no end. I don't take shit like that lightly, but I had kids to feed, and when I was able to leave there, you bet I told them exactly how I felt.
I can can totally picture you doing that in regards to the voting issue.
Sounds like the blackmail that username referred to was used not only used on the employers but also the union members. Not cool...

You stepped in what?
Yep, it's a tax free revenue-generating enterprise.
As a California teacher, I want my nephew to have fair pay and good benefits. But, as user noted, California is flooded with labor laws to protect employees and promote their interests. Sure, they make more and get more individually with the union in place, but the state's ability to afford fewer teachers just means larger and larger class sizes (not good for the teachers or the students, imo).
