• The gap in Democratic party identification between union and nonunion work environments is largest among private-sector workers and federal government workers, with an 11.8-percentage-point and a 10.2-point gap, respectively.
• Nonunionized state government workers show a smaller gap than the one found among unionized state workers, but still demonstrate a nearly 10-point Democrat (39.2%) to Republican (29.5%) gap.
• Among private-sector workers who are unionized, Democrats outnumber Republicans by a substantial 42% to 24% margin.
• Federal and local government workers who are unionized are also more likely to be Democrats than Republicans, albeit with a smaller partisan gap than among state and private-sector workers. Nonunion federal and local government workers are roughly even in terms of Democratic and Republican identification.
• Nonunion private-sector workers are about evenly split between Republicans and Democrats.
• The political profile of every major category of union workers is more strongly Democratic than that of the public at large -- with between 40% and 46% identifying as Democrats -- and somewhat less Republican and independent. Nevertheless, a significant minority -- ranging from 24% to 27% of unionized workers, depending on area of employment -- identify as Republicans.

old news...apparently their tendency for (R) didn't swing the midterms.
with more and more aliens serving with incentive of becoming a citizen, natural tendency must be towards (D).
however, that could be too simplistic.
