Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

a union shop is a beautiful thing

not as beautiful as tsunami tuesday---most house seats since 1938, most state reps and leg's in history, 10 gubs, 6 senators...
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

Nope, don't care at all as it isn't taxpayer money. Shareholders choose to invest, taxpayers don't

And those shareholders get to decide where their money goes?
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

Please tell me did she quit her position in protest?

a closed shop is a beautiful thing
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

I already said that I don't think people should be forced to join unions...

but, independent of your opinion, they are in 28 states

only if they want to keep their jobs, however
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi


Evidently the writer of this article is about as uninformed of how Unions work as our winger contingent on this thread.They are arguing on a topic that they don’t know **** about either.

From you link prof Google.

<The California Teachers Assn.'s 800-member governing body overwhelmingly approved a temporary annual assessment of $60 per member in a voice vote during a meeting at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton. >

Note what the bolded part says about assessments, not dues, dues are paid monthly, dues are to be used for Union purpose only. ie organizing, upkeep of facilities, and salary of staff, whatever.

For political purpose, borrowing from the app ditty of “ We Have an App for that...” Well, We have a PAC for that. For political purposes.

Same with emergency an assessments, it has to be voted on.I hope that clears some of the misinformation that is be shoveled and googled about.:2wave:
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

Michigan lawmakers are on the verge of approving a bill that would enable the governor to appoint "emergency managers" -- officials with unilateral power to make sweeping changes to cities facing financial troubles.

Under the legislation, the Michigan Messenger reports, the governor could declare a "financial emergency" in towns or school districts. He could then appoint a manager to fire local elected officials, break contracts, seize and sell assets, eliminate services - and even eliminate whole cities or school districts without any public input.

The measure passed in the state Senate this week; the House passed its own version earlier. The two versions of the bill are expected to be reconciled next week, and Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has said he will sign the bill the bill into law.

Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

There you go... see we can come to agreement, so tell me again why the liberal democrats that controlled all branches of the government didn't do that ?? You should really be pissed at the Democrats .... not the Republicans

I am pissed at the blue dog Democrats, and evidently so were many voters as they took a beating at the 2010 election. And I guess you are just as pissed at the GOP for not decreasing spending when they controlled all branches of the government?
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

But when Walker and his supporters in the GOP lower and slash taxes thus cutting the states ability to function and push the state closer to default, that is perfectly fine in your book.

Right, let me know when that happens. I won't hold my breath. Unlike liberals, conservatives know that private business runs the economy, not public unions.
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

Try to keep up, conservative, the public unions have already agreed with the governor on pay cuts. It's COLLECTIVE BARGAINING that is the issue and that includes a whole lot more than wages and benefits.

Right, and of course collective bargaining can be bought again and will be by corrupt, greedy unions and their thugs.
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

Give me an example of a how a Union " telling people what they have to do with some of their money ".

It is called union dues.
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

And those shareholders get to decide where their money goes?

Shareholders have a choice where to invest their money. I get a proxy statement on all my investments. You ought to try it some time and even if they don't it doesn't cost the taxpayers a dime

Back to the blanket statements, are we? :roll:

I’ve not only explained in this thread how union dues is kept separate from other Union funds, but in another thread I provided you a link to a Teamster local near your abode as well, on the off chance that you just might want to kick into their DRIVE PAC.


By the way here is what DRIVE stands for “Democrat, Republican, Independent Voter Education”. We stuck in a big R just in case you might want to say that you gave to a Union bi-partisan go pac. :roll:

Here is the link…yet again. I also provide a link to DRIVE for the International Union, in case you want your bucks spread throughout the country for a good cause.

It’s a shame that you forgot the link to your home local the first time though, late onset sure is rough isn’t it…so sad. :(

What you ignored is that union dues are required in Wisconsin, no one gets a job without joining a union and thus is forced to pay dues. All your other points are worthless. Unions tell people what they can do with some of their earnings.
