Educated children are every bit as important to the NEA as quality autos are to the UAW.
So in an effort to avoid contributing to their own pensions and funding 6 percent more of their own health care premiums, teachers have taken unpaid leave to protest and have given up nearly $500 so far.
Hahaha. That’s called cutting off your nose to spite
your face.
Why do we allow Public Unions?
Go Scott Go....
Stay strong Scott. You have the majority support.
Why should government employees enjoy such benefits on the backs of taxpayers who do not, their jobs are cush, they produce no product, they are not held accountable to a standard that is measured by independents,let them see reality..
“We’re trying to stop whatever this dude is doing.”
The dude is only doing what he campaigned on and was elected to do. A voter majority approved these actions.
Many of these protesters are from out of state. and should be sent packing.
Where is the Tea Party?
Excellent point.
I had just posted my response to you and this popped up -

Great minds...I mean yours... :)
Huh? What should the Tea Party be doing: Standing guard over the capital building?
YES! How in do you expect this to pass without positive support!
It would have made him appear weak. It’s better this way...I hope they get a large crowd since they don’t have school kids to exploit.
I hope you are right....but in liberal states like WI, there are too many people who will view the conflict as “working people fighting for their rights” and, if the battle drags on, citizens will start feeling sympathy for the unions, even if it is to their fianancial detriment to do so.
Are the kids actually in school today? I heard the kids were figuring out they will have to make these days up.
Because they CAN.
They don’t have to negotiate with business owners who feel the pinch of making concessions to unions. They negotiate with politicians and/or bureaucrats who have no personal skin in the game.
Any proposed contracts should go to a public referendum so that the state’s “owners” can have the final say.
