The selfishness of the Wisconsin public unions has truly come full-circle. For all of their talk about protecting workers, it appears that their intransigence will hurt many of Wisconsin's employees. This of course, comes out of the budget deficit that Governor Walker inherited from the Democratic governor that preceded him.
And without reform-- there will be a disaster.
So when shills of the unions scream about such 'unreasonable' ideas as paying for part of their own pensions and health insurance or that union members should have a say if the organization exists, answer back with this. So a teacher can prevent paying into their own benefits, children will go hungry. So a union cannot automatically collect its dues, a hard worker has to stop paying their mortgage. So union fat cats lose some control over the state's government, families will move out of Wisconsin.
On the side of the workers? Let's take a look at the budget and determine if they are:
But Walker said while the state enjoys a lower-than-average unemployment rate -- about 7.5 percent compared to 9 percent nationally -- about 5,000-6,000 state workers and 5,000-6,000 local government workers could lose their jobs if they don't accept changes to their benefits plan.
"I don't want a single person laid off in the public nor in the private sector and that's why this is a much better alternative than losing jobs," Walker told "Fox News Sunday."

All the unions want to do is kick the can down the road so they can get theirs..
ReplyDeleteUnion members, especially teachers, know they are worth less than what they are paid. Because of the violence and thuggery of unions, which has resulted in political power as well as vast amounts of wealth, these greedy, violent leeches will continue to do what it is they do.
ReplyDeleteAct like a mob, all the while convinced they are "good" people fighting "evil" men, hence any and all action is justified including murder, like in Greece.
