Wisconsin Unions Disrupt Special Olympics Ceremony

Several things about this.


Good for you.
But how is this relevant?


Workers in Wisconsin are not forced to join unions. I dont think anywhere people are forced to join unions. You have the right to be in unions but we are slowly seeing that taken away from us.


Lame...

Stop ignoring that you are just factually wrong.
Please, Im still waiting on that source from how this protest was Union organized, funded, and brought together.
you are correct, no one is forced ....when you apply for a job, you are made aware then and there if it is a union shop, at that point, you have a choice....if you don't like unions, say no thank you, and walk away.
 
How does this relate to a group of non-union students who did not disrupt an event?

Why is the sky blue ?

I was responding to misinformation put up by another poster. WTF.

The fundamental differences between a "closed shop" state and an "open shop" state could not be more clear. Gotta luv a state like Wisconsin, where if you wanted to be a teacher in the state system, you had to join the union, and then a mandatory deduction was made from your paycheck and sent to the union, and then over 90% of the union's political contributions went to Democrats !!!

We taking that **** apart Demo-rats.
 
And of course, no one mentions that Walker's budget cuts about $20 million in assistance for families with special needs children.

And that doesn't count the impact cuts to other mainstream programs would have on family's with special needs children and adults with special needs.

The only asshole is Gov. Walker who would show his face in front of the most vulnerable of our citizens while his budget proposals will actively harm them. Not having read his entire speech, I will take back my accusations of him being a hypocrite as long as he told the kids that his budget will makes their lives suck so that he could give tax breaks away to the rich folks who bought his office for him.
 
How DARE they make budget cuts when their mandated to balance the budget! The nerve!
 
Nice dodge to not answer my questions

your 'questions' were vague and inexact - which is why I asked you to clarify and be more specific.

Just sayin'. As long as he tells the kids that he's taking away the programs that support them, he can show his face in front of them.

If they did not kiss the behind of corporations with tax cuts, they would not have to cut funds for special needs children.

It should be so simple to balance the budget.

Try this: If we did not allow municipal unions to rape the taxpayers of a state, we might have more funds available for all special needs children.

LIES, ALL LIES!! Conservative propaganda! Children hating GOP! They should all be flogged!

I wonder if you at all realize the bitter irony of your comeback ...... it is exactly state employees who are members of the hated unions that care for so many of those special needs children in the first place. They give their professional careers to those kids while others merely bitch about it. Of course, I guess if they all worked for three bucks an hour and no benefits then the right would be happy.

Yeah ... that's the ticket !!!! All these teachers do it all "for the children", and us rascally Republicans are espousing $3 per hour wages and no benefits !!!

Why don't you just call us all "baby killers" and be done with it.

When I lived there if you went to work for a company that had a union when your probation period was up you automatically were in the union and dues were taken from your pay.

The problem here is not if its unions but just the disgusting display of disrespect to the mentally handicapped. Those here defending this show they care nothing about people who can not defend themselves

I would say Walker is following Obama's lead.Special needs on SSI have not had a cost of living wage in 2 years because Obama claims no rise in cost of living and no inflation. Walker is doing what the democrats started.

The more they increase taxes in an already over taxed state the more business will leave. I left the Wisconsin in 1988 and went to a right to work state with no state income tax and am happy I did.
 
What a bunch of offensive douch bags. . . that's immature, unacceptable - I don't give a rats ass WHO they were protesting - Honestly - I don't think they WERE protesting the governor. I think they were being offensive douchers TO the particpants and their families and used the governor as an excuse and making fun of the participants and their families.

These kids have it hard enough and regardless of the fact that they have mental disabilities and so on - some are pretty well aware of the douchery that went on.

Talk about being the lowest of the low.

Many of us with special needs kids refuse to put our kids in state institutions where the care is not what I would want

Completely understandable. I like our present public school district eventhough we've had issues - but when it come to my oldest son's schooling - I feel like there's just not enough that they're doing in that regard - I'm home-schooling him partially to keep him on top of things.

My Autistic son went to public school till 21 but that is all they will fund.He was in a program but they were not able to handle him. If I turn him over to the state they will drug him to make him manageable. So we take care of him and show him love and pray God to heal him
