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....

Unions do spend a lot of money to rent politicians. But the amount shrinks a lot when you compare to the amount spent by corporations.
This is false. At least in this case with GM versus UAW. The UAW spends considerably more on politicians and lobbying than GM. In fact, they spend a little more than GM, Ford, and FCA combined most years. I thought the same as you because that is what a union pamphlet told me, but found it to be false when I verified it.

One of the things one party wants to do is pass the "right to freeload" laws that require the unions to represent all workers, even if the workers do not pay dues. If a worker must have the protections without paying, this will reduce the amount of donations to the other party. The only solution I can see is some kind of public finance of campaigns.
There is no law stating that the union has to represent the non-union member in Texas according to Texas Labor Code 101.001. I would check to verify this in other states if you were told that by your union. I am not saying your union is purposely lying to you. I am just saying the unions that I have dealt with have in order to increase membership and profits.
