The first and primary responsibility of the union in this situation is to provide union members zero interest loans or partial pay to cover their expenses while the employer is not providing compensation. After collecting all the union dues for years the union failed completely in this responsibility.
What did the union do with all the members money instead? They spend large chunks of it on political PACs to influence politicians.
This lawsuit has no chance of success and is a money-wasting publicity stunt to help the politicians the union has traditional supported. Many pundits have also stated that it is likely the lawsuit itself violates the law.
So tell me when the union is going to start meeting its primary responsibility of providing union members with zero interest loans or partial pay to cover their expenses?
