IMO, endorsements are only as good as the schmuck on top of said unions saying that. The true endorsement is when the people vote - unions can't vote and therefore their 'endoresement' means jack.

I think you'd be surprised of who doesn't show up to work or would protest (meaning: police, fire, troopers) if this were on them too. Scabs, in all industries/professions, are not treated kindly. Yet another reason to get rid of unions, all they do is get themselves to turn on each other.

I'm having a hard time finding the donor list for the unions (Police, ST, FF)

Right hence the difference between endorsement and local support.

I can only speak for firefighters due to friends of mine, but while they would probably strike if necessary I don't think it would be a 'full' strike. It might run similarly to the way short-staffed depts near me run, certain stations closed on certain days, but coverage available in case of emergency.

But I don't think that adds up to "All unions bad."
