New York unions willing to cross party lines for state Senate campaign funding

As the Nov. 8 general election nears, many of New York’s largest labor unions are crossing party lines when it comes to campaign contributions. While some unions such as the New York State Communications Workers of America donated exclusively to the Democrats and the New York State Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association donated only to Republicans, large unions including AFL-CIO and NYSUT have contributed to both major political parties' campaigns.
