It's pretty out in the open, really.

The fact is though, while right now, you may have a little bit of grassroots power, don't underestimate the power of the Chamber, who does hold real power in this state to push through just about any legislation it wants, to decimate your power structure and organization.

Unions ought to be smarter about picking fights they can't win. You may win the city council, but the legislature is owned lock stock and barrel by the Chamber.
