Unions are losing that Hopey-Changey Feeling

Union leaders now think they are getting screwed by democrats too. It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

“Now, not only are we getting screwed by the Republicans but the Democrats are doing it too,” said one union official, characterizing the mood at a summit of labor leaders who are worried that Democrats seem unlikely to go to the mat for them as an election year approaches.
