No, they should not. The union is supposed to represent the workers. If they give money to political candidates or causes that the members don't approve of, the union is failing in its job.

Members can already stipulate that they do not wish to have their dues used to support political candidates and causes. Most union members know that their leadership picks candidates and causes that act in their best interests.
Should corporations be allowed to give money that belongs to shareholders to political candidates or causes? even though many shareholders don't approve of their money going to the candidates or causes?

Should corporations be allowed to contribute money to candidates when stockholders don't approve of their money going to such people or causes? How about public financing of all federal elections......with a given start date no more than 12 months prior to election day? All candidates would get the same amount of cash....no ups, no extras!

i think of there could be a restrict on firms, or a minimum of positioned a cap on the two unions and corps on how plenty can they make investments on their applicants and an "choose in" decision as nicely. As for the enterprise, Unions are Corps are distinctive in reason. Corps are companies that use you funds invested on shares as superb as they see in wonderful condition for the excellent interest of the enterprise. your company is doing you a desire in reality (or so as that they think of) plus the incontrovertible fact that a company acts as a private guy or woman in all criminal recommendations additionally has to do with it. Unions on the different hand do see the excellent interest of its workers, yet they'd't act as somebody and for this reason they can't use it for political applications. the people who do no longer desire to alter this discrepancy are people who're considerable shareholders on firms. of direction they are no longer going to enable their corps sink so as that they could shelter it with claws and tooth. Now you have the best thought, you do no longer could pay for applicants you do no longer help, yet it relatively is the super element approximately capitalism, the money they lose from you you may positioned funds right into a company that does align with your perspectives and with your candidate, it relatively is why there are huge sales of shares on the inventory marketplace on elections.

Not unless the funds are solicited for that purpose. No one should be forced to contribute to a political cause they do not support.

I don't believe they can.What they can do is ask for additional contributions from members that can be used for political purposes.
