I think the Dems were always more the party of union bosses than the party of working people. Today it's mostly teachers and other government workers who are union members.

I don't know today's statistics but a few years ago, 1 in 8 delegates to the Democrat/Socialist National Convention were members of the teacher's union. The teachers' unions serve the teachers and don't give a damn about the quality of teaching nor the benefit of the students. The democrats take huge donations from big business while all the time railing against them. unions themselves are big business. Look at the salaries of the unions' hierarchies.
