>> Mr. Beil was the face of the state employees union, an outspoken advocate of workers’ rights ripping off the taxpayers for more than 40 years.

Thank you for the heads up, Diana in Wisconsin. It doesn’t feel right to rejoice in someone’s death, but to Wisconsin conservatives, the passingof this iperson ranks right up there with the overthrow of Ceaucescu.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin inteest ping list.

“It is unconscionable, and it is something I will hold against Scott Walker until the day I die, the pain he’s caused to state workers in such a careless fashion,” Beil said in a June interview with the State Journal.

The pain was just too much for him.

Does he look like a union thug or what?

Unions formed to protect workers from dick employers had their place and were very much needed .... long ago.

Now they just take fill their own coffers and fight for silly things like a "break" every few hours.

He was Scotted to death I guess.

They say bitterness can shorten one’s life and that picture says it all.

I totally agree.That kind of constant hatred and rancor does terrible things to the body.Before I retired from a major corporation, two union leaders, who made life miserable for all, passed away, too young.You get addicted to conflict and it kills you.

Chrysler UAW workers recently turned down a contract offer that included the following...

$3,000 signing bonus
Increase in number of paid holidays
Keeping healthcare premiums at ZERO
Significant wage increase for the lower of the 2 tier pay system
3% wage increase twice over the next 4 years for upper tier workers

Union workers is soooo abused.

“Fat, Bitter and Socialist is no way to go through life, Son!”

I’m sure someone loved him somewhere along the way. No cause of death, though.

Walkercide? ;)

Greed.

The old timers want more of a raise, claiming they haven’t had one in 10 years. (Average $28/hr now)

How many people in Obamas America have gotten raises recently?

“The cause has not been determined, his sister, Mickey Beil, said.”

I can help here. The cause was “hate”.
