Yeah, it’s just wrong to expect the government to stay the hell out of our business.

People on FR often refer to Walker as a “one trick pony”. I guess he is just going back to the only thing he knows.

[dadfly]

it sure would :). talk about a breath of fresh, free air in the belly of the beast!

[Gator113]

Mr. 3% isn’t going anywhere but down. He thinks way too slow.

[NorthMountain]

Millions of people unemployed or underemployed. And Walker decides that Unions should be his prime target now?

You don't see any connection between piss-poor employment rates and government support of socialist labor unions?

Really?

Somebody ought to tell Walker that no one cares...There are far, far more important things going on in the world that need the immediate attention of a President...

Once the employees knew I would stand up for the contract, I had very few problems supervising union employees. If I had been a craft employee, seeing the abuses and willful violations by some managers, I would have joined a union, too.

In my experience it's rare that a union breaks the contract...Unions pretty much police their own ranks...

No.

Really?

Really.

People forget the SEIU loves illegal aliens.

Maybe Walker’s prescription for dismantling unions as a cure all isn’t the best approach. Wisconsin has lost its middle class at a faster rate than any other state since he became governor.

If he had paid more attention to Wisconsin instead of campaigning, maybe his approval rating at home wouldn’t be 39%.

Yep, and Trump will be just fine and dandy with unionizing them all.....

Don't like the blue collar unions eh??? But you are fine with the auto dealer unions, doctor and lawyer unions, the the petroleum retailer unions and so on???

[conservativejoy]

Some employees step out of bounds from time to time, but most abuse of union contracts is by managers, either through ignorance of the contract or arrogance that they think they can get away with it.

[Read Write Repeat]

I pay for my memberships, services, goods, etc. out of my personal wallet. The state shouldn’t have anything to do with that.

Still don’t believe anything from Las Vegas papers.

[Iscool]

Also, surprised that anyone on this forum would consider union membership as a ‘benefit’ akin to healthcare.

Why??? This is not a GOPe forum...

Certainly is...

[conservativejoy]

Some folks prefer to set up auto deductions as a convenience. For instance, most people prefer to deposit their paychecks through direct deposit, but there are still folks who say they want to hold their paycheck in their hands. It is their paycheck and they should have that choice.

Wondering if the article was correct is what prompted my post to begin with. Doesn’t surprise me that Vegas papers are not reliable.

[C. Edmund Wright]

yes, that’s a threat too.....but the unfunded mandates for union thug retirements and healthcare are going to destroy us too.

[C. Edmund Wright]

I don’t disagree with any of what you said necessarily. With your over view, you will not have egg on your face. You understand the risks it seems.

My problem is with the 80% of supporters who are blind and willfully ignorant.

[C. Edmund Wright]

so what you’re saying is, A: you’re ignorant how most union shops work and B: you have no friggin clue why government unions should not exist.

Lemme help you out here, you need it: in government unions, the UNION GOONS negotiate AGAINST THE TAX PAYER....and the tax payer has NO ADVOCATE at the table. It’s a one way negotiation. It is corruption personified by DEFINITION.

Damn how can you call yourself conservative and be so blind.

[C. Edmund Wright]

conservativejoy is one of the many FAUX conservatives on FR now. She doesn’t even understand the most basic of conservative ideas.

Thank you for outing yourself as a marxist. So WTF do you mean by the "auto dealer unions" and the "doctor unions" and the "lawyer unions" and the "petro retailer unions?" WTF do you mean? If you're gonna be a marxist on this forum, man up and answer.
