Just the way the unions fo it.

No one polls the rank and file; the union leadership does what they want to do. That’s why you see unions supporting left wing issues when the hard hats are conservative.

Lol, does the LSBA normally cut their budget in any area by 30%? Cuz I'm thinking they don't. I'd be interested in seeing what the actual is after June 30.
