Most union members do NOT want higher sales taxes, but they are left with no options because larger and more powerful interests are doing everything in their power to protect the interests of the very wealthy — challenging any moves to increase income, property, or other taxes that are less regressive.

Really. Then why did SEIU contribute over 10 million to proposition 30. Why did CA teacher union contribute over 11 million to propsition 30 that included a sales tax increase.
Public sector union will do what’s good for them. They might prefer to take the tax money from the rich and give it to themselves. Pretty much everybody is fine with taxing somebody else to get a beneficial service.
