WTF? Steyer's Campaign Held Hostage By Unions

[Solar]

So allow me to translate:
Steyer doesn't have any real grassroots backing, they're all being paid, and now the Union steps in and tells them, if you want our backing, it'll cost you!


Snipped from the bottom of a Bernt article..


The campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer says it has reached a tentative deal to unionize just ahead of the Nevada caucuses.

The California billionaire climate activist's campaign announced Friday it had reached an agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2325. Steyer's campaign says a majority of field staff agreed to be represented by IBEW Local 2325, and the negotiated agreement will be subject to ratification by campaign staff.

Labor support for candidates is expected to play a critical role in Saturday's Nevada caucuses, and lobbying for union backing has been spirited.

Staffs of several Democratic campaigns have unionized as the field lobbies to garner labor support ahead of the eventual nominee's general election matchup with President Donald Trump.

Other campaigns that have organized include Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, former Vice President Joe Biden and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

Union Bosses are experts in getting paid by politicians for their political support.  In the case of TOme Styer, they better get paid up front and in cash, because he's not going to be around long enough to give them some patronage at some later date. His only contribution to the Democrat effort is that he is very outspoken about his Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Yep, and at Union hourly wage, he won't be able to tun very long.

Styer's destined to become merely an
"Alsoran"  footnote to why Donald Trump enjoyed a historic 2020 landlside reelection.

Mayor Butt Gig won't be President.

I doubt if he is mayor again.
