860,000 members. That's a lot of votes.
That’s the total across the US and Canada. This was just PA.
The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

No, that’s around 1.2 Million.

Just curious. HOw effective do you think these union endorsments are for both sides?
Do you think that a large part of the union will vote just because the leadership says that.
(I agree that they may take an internal vote and the majority candidate will be who they endorse)

Historically, the union endorsements were very powerful. It wasn’t too long ago that if the union found out you didn’t go with the flow, you would be spending a couple of months on Workman’s Comp, if you get my drift. In recent years it has been as monolithic and has even forced Union leadership to change their approach.

About 125K currently employed in the steel industry in PA. Add in another 15K Mineworkers (can’t effectively make steel without coal) that are members of the UMW, which conducted internal polls and decided not to endorse a presidential candidate this year (though they did endorse Casey, and a straight Democratic ticket on the local campaigns). Both the Steelworkers Union and the UMW carry a lot of weight in Pennsylvania beyond their direct members.
