"While the AFL-CIO leadership remains committed to a massive illegal alien amnesty program, rank and file workers and constituent locals are becoming increasingly vocal in asserting that such a policy would do irreparable harm to American workers. The latest crack in the AFL-CIO's support for an illegal alien amnesty is the Pittsburgh Plumbers Local No. 27, which approved a resolution demanding that their union dues not be used for activities that support illegal aliens.
The resolution, passed on October 10, follows a similar position taken last month by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, a national union representing some 750,000 building trades workers. Earlier this summer, Teamster president James Hoffa expressed opposition to legalization for millions of illegal immigrants and called for an overhaul of U.S. immigration policies that he believes are detrimental to the interests of American workers."

AFL-CIO's globalist policy sure is a far cry from Cesar Chavez's anger at illegals for driving down the living wage.
What do you think. Should the AFL-CIO be able to use Union worker dues to lobby positions the majority of Union workers oppose?

No, they shouldn't use Union Member dues to support illegal alien amnesty. Their unions are to support THEM, citizens of the USA against those who would cause their wages to decrease or be depressed. Illegals do both.
