Union Says Photo IDs not Necessary to Vote — Unless You Vote to Leave Union!

Union Says Photo IDs not Necessary to Vote — Unless You Vote to Leave Union! [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
In recent arguments against states requiring voters to show a photo ID, the United Auto Workers Local 6000 has compared concerns about voter fraud to belief in the fictional Loch Ness monster and Yeti.
The union wrote on its Facebook page that photo ID for voting is the goal of the “billionaire funded” American Legislative Exchange Council, and is intended to create obstacles for voters who might support a more “progressive” agenda.
However, when its own members want to exercise their right under the new right-to-work law in Michigan to opt out of paying union dues as a condition of employment, UAW 6000 says they must show a photo ID.
... On the UAW's website, the union hierarchy opposes what it calls 'outrageous voter ID laws' but apparently union officials have no problem requiring ID for workers who want to resign and cut off union dues, including dues money spent to promote the union boss position on voter ID legislation.”
The UAW Local 6000 union did not return a request for comment.
