How does everyone feel about all the GM union members on strike placing nails and screws out onto the streets that their customers who keep them employed drive on? Causing damage to multiple vehicles....

Yeah this is a issue in all unions as unions are smart enough to know which party will support unions/members and which party and their supporters want to do away with them.
Reading this thread is a good example of that.
How does it help US jobs of we have open borders for workers from foreign countries, more free trade agreements, and lower tariffs on countries we already have huge trade discrepancies with? These are policies of certain political party that most unions support and will have a negative impact on US jobs. It may seem that they look like they support unions by what they say, but some of their actions and policies prove otherwise.
Unfortunately, people often conflate how union members may vote or feel with how the top up administrators spend the unions cash to push a candidate or party. These are not mutually exclusive. Just because you belong to a union does not mean you are required to have a specific political view or social/economic priority. This is one way a union can fail their constituents as they unilaterally utilize their dues in a way that may not conform with a specific members desires.
I have no dog in this fight. But the amount of money that unions spend politically, generally to one party, is staggering. tens of millions,
There is something terribly wrong with the system if the unions are donating huge sums of money to causes its members do not support.
