DU'ers overwhelmingly support unions.

are you doubting this?

thanks for the story btw. warms my heart

fwiw, unions are advocacy groups. they don't fight for the "general good" they fight for their constituents. i LOVE our union. they kick ass. we get GREAT benefits, and really good protection. but they are not fighting for the benefit of society at large, and sometimes advocate for things and officers that are contrary to the public good.

that's their job

fwiw, due to WA constitution, for all i know random drug tests are pretty difficult to justify since WA state constitution has a right to privacy.

in our state, there must be reasonable suspicion before a public employee can be piss tested

again, thanks for the story
