they cant and dont use union funds to promote campaigns for or against candidates, ballot initiatives, or legislation.
But again Scott don't let the facts get in your way

Yes Jim you were in a union . Not sure why? Your an anti unionist
And if you wanted you donated to your unions PAC or not
it’s was never required was it.
But it’s funny conservatives like yourself have no issues with dark money and corporate lobbyists
But a teacher union you see as a threat and their political sway is somehow unfair LOL

i asked if you consider teachers unions to be PACs. you afraid to
answer?
teachers unions hurt kids and communities. they enrich teachers and democrats.
when i taught, i offered to be the teacher moderator for the ping ping club. there was no money in it, the school was broke. i was happy to do it for free. I get a letter from the union ordering me not to do it unless they paid me.
All for the kids.
They ( the union) are the most soulless whores you could ever meet.

"Once again Jim you are trying to say unions and pac committees are the same thing shocking "
No, you said that. Scott mentioned a mailer from the teachers union asking people to vote for democrats, and you said thats what PACs do.
Wayne, what's the downside to firing the worst teachers, as opposed to the white teachers? Do you assume black teachers need this protection? Seems like you assume that if employment was based on actual ability, that black teachers would be the ones fired, and therefore they need this protection.
"because you don’t have their pay or their benefit"
Because if I did have their pay and benefits, my company would go bankrupt in a week, just as the liberal pro union states are drowning in debt. Funny how you never mention that.
Connecticut has debt it can never, ever pay. The biggest drivers of teh states debt, by far, are public union benefits. As more boomers retire, that debt is no longer a future theoretical thing, its becoming a current reality. WHen you make impossible promises, you can only out-run it for so long
When it blows up, the union leaders and democrats who promised them impossible benefits wont care, they'll be retired. Ironically, the ones who will get screwed will be the teachers, who were lied to by both their union and by elected democrats, told the lie that they could deliver benefits that aren't mathematically possible.

You speak as if the “Union” is a great and forbidding power.
You had the opportunity to become a union leader when you were a member.
Far easier to complain and accuse.
You’re upset that A teachers union was willing to do something that they viewed as positive for others, but claim they have no soul.
It’s ok for others to be compensated for their labor, but teachers are required to be called.
How Catholic of you.
Should all work in service of others be done for noble purpose with low compensation?
It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $12,000 in 2022.
That’s a 17,142% markup.😳 That isn’t inflation. It isn’t supply chain issues. It is 100% corporate greed.
It’s required for some to live, surely right up there with education.
Are the pharmaceutical companies also “soulless whores”?
