To the editor,

Headline in Union Advocate newspaper: "Political leaders stand with striking Teamsters at St. Paul liquor distributor". Mayor Chris Coleman, senate candate Al Franken ,Betty McCollum and attorney General Lori Swansn rallied with the members of teamsters local 792.

As expected Democrats would naturally support unions who give 91% of their political donations to the Democratic party. This can be seen at www.opensecrets.org. Now Franken intends to co-sponsor the Employee Free Choice Act that would take away a workers fundamental right to a secret ballot when organizing a union. This would lead to union leaders intimidating workers who do not want to be unionized

Having been on both side as a drug store owner and as a union member I see this as an unfair advantage for unions.
