This is what it comes down to. ALPA member can keep supporting Republicans who NEVER side with labor, or side with politicians who at least sometimes side with labor.
Similar to being in the military, I vote for who will be the best Commander in Chief and President. I don't vote for who will give the military a pay raise. Same goes for being in a Union. My vote is not for me personally, it's what's best for our country as a whole. That's the who I try to vote for anyway. Cheers.
