Canadian labour unions take membership dues ($$$) to fund anti-Afghanistan agenda

What its true.  There are some positions I want to apply for occasionally with the city of Toronto, but I sometimes decide not to cause I really don't want to be a part of a union, especially cupe and especially cupe 416/79. Everytime I hear Sid Ryan, or Brian Cochrane speak I feel like I am losing brain cells.

Understood. I just think CUPE sounds like See You Pee.
 
I've worked at two union places under two different unions.  Most people on the shop floor at the plants I worked at support the military.  Apart from that, they want to be able to work some overtime without being raped by the taxman and have a good standard of living. 

Unions mostly exist today to protect the 5% of their membership who in a non-union shop would probably be fired.  Their leadership at the national level is divorced from the rank and file, judging from the talk in the break rooms at the places I've worked at.

Thats is exactly what is wrong with the good majority of unions, and hence why they have outlived an useful purpose.
