Give a shout out to your union

[xmas74]

I've been over in the Primaries forum discussing the AFSCME forum yesterday. I'm union proud and AFSCME proud. I'd love to see who here is also proud to be a brother or sister.

Drop your union here,not the council or local if you're worried about identifiers. Let's see how many union members we have.
