The function of a union is to represent its members in the workplace. They have no business meddling in immigration issues or politics beyond that mandate; representing their members at the bargaining table when needed. The members are the union. Awww that is precious..... were you born yesterday?

I`m not in a union so can`t help you there, however, is it any different than purchasing things from companies that support democrats? Fairly large difference. If you are not a dem or leftist and a union member, you are acquiescing to having an organization represent you with your dollars to promote something that is antithetical to your core beliefs. All the while using your money and you as a person as a chit in the game to promote an end you do not abide by or agree with is a bit different than rewarding a company with a little profit occasionally when you decide at that time the the benefits to you outweigh the negative results of the company's efforts. The biggest difference is the fact in the situation as a union member, you are giving them credence by having you counted as a "union member that supports...(insert the latest leftist bs cause)"

Iaff here, fireman. Large east coast fire department. Could have cared less about the "union" when I get hired at 21 years old, I just wanted to be a big city fireman. They don't align with my personal political views but do keep us from getting steamed rolled from the city council when it comes to cutting funding and jobs.

No I don't agree with most of their political contributions or politicians they support. But I don't like most politicians no matter what letter they have by their name. Most are as counterfeit as the day is long and don't care about a blue collar man,union or not.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

Every U.S. taxpayer that pays a Federal Income Tax is funding a Union, abortion, illegal aliens, people who refuse to work and their offspring, pro-Muslim programs, corporate welfare and the starving Pygmy's in New Guinea.
Willing or unwilling, does it really matter at this point? As long as we gets our 600.00

So far we're batting 1000.
I would love to find out there is a union that supports conservative politics.

I retired from a South Florida Sheriffs Office. We were represented by the PBA and they support conservative politics and candidates.

I was in a union for years, and it was the biggest waste of money I've ever spent. When we needed them most they turned their backs on us. To top it off, their mailings started reading more and more like Commie "Workers party" propaganda.

For all you ignorant mutherfuggers:
Beck (1988) the Supreme Court ruled that the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) restricted unions from collecting dues for political activities if a union member chooses to opt out. The required dues can only be used for collective-bargaining and other representational activities. funny. thanks for supporting Biden and Harris dumb brain washed union clown you precious union says otherwise clown https://aflcio.org/resolutions/resolution-12-immigration-and-citizenship
