Thank you. They seem to know what they were doing and handled it well.

We musn’t forget — its ALL about the union. The non-union worker, the taxpayer, the student doesn’t matter.

Union dues need to fall to be in line with services requested and provided.

All the picket signs will be professionally made and the demonstrators will be there during what are ordinarily “working hours”.

This isn’t a democracy (mob rule.) This is a republic.

Democracy chooses the governor of the state, and the elected representatives, and being that the governor went through a union sponsored recall election, then won re-election, it would indeed be mobs demonstrating against democracy. The people have spoken, curtailing union rule is not only acceptable but encouraged, and the sore losers are whining about the results of democracy, and the resulting legislation by their republic.

Unions are fine...form a group, have people volunteer to join it, and send them a monthly, or better yet annual, bill for their dues....lots of organization do it that way.....lots of luck there.

And ironically not one day of work will be missed by the protestors.

“Republicans are planning to ram this legislation through in an extraordinary session at lightning pace. An extraordinary session changes the rules, limits debate and makes a mockery out of our democracy,” reads a statement on the WI AFL-CIO blog.


Rammed through??????

Bwa Ha Ha Ha ...

obamacare ... passed without being read, passed with bribes, passed without Republican participation or amendments .....

Bwa Ha Ha Ha

I guess it’s true ... it depends on whose ox is being gored.

Act 10, which effectively eliminated most collective bargaining rights for public workers

Is that true? I thought it just allowed public employees a choice.

No, that’s the Leftist Lie they keep spouting. And Act 10 doesn’t effect cops or firefighters from bargaining. Neither will the Right to Work bill.

At least the WI Republicans are following the proper proscribed steps in making this law. Just on an expedite timeline.

When the AFL-CIO comes out as strongly against Obama’s unilateral exercise of power for amnesty, they’ll begin (only just tho) to have credibility on the matter.
