I think the tradespeople themselves are great people and I have hired many for side jobs, but the organization(s) haven't exactly left their reputation unearned.

I would strongly suggest reading the whole article if you can or getting a promo subscription to the Inky for the mayoral race.
This article is short in length but has a number of details surrounding the union endorsements and war chests.
