Well, my union is representing my interests when dealing with my employer... I want them to fight for my interests BUT I do not want them to favor one party over the other in the political process... They should be attempt to stay fairly neutral.

I don't see any contradiction in being a conservative and pro-IPA union at the same time... If my union was openly supporting the democratic party I'd obviously have a big problem with it... I've lived the socialist dream and know it's an utopian dream...
