If public sector unions start to go belly up the DNC is in for problems.

*Happy Dance!*

JFK thank you for your executive order for letting government employees to unionize. I wonder why no one has challenged that for constitutionality in the courts.

“Oregon Dem legislature is working on a work around this law”

sounds like whatever they try to do is going to necessarily be unconstitutional ...

This court decision was a victory for the National Right To Work Legal Defense Foundation, which I have supported for many years.

It will take decades to undo Government Employee Union damage to the American Economy and American Freedom, and still we may never get it done.

Union money is a big factor in Democrat victories. Union campaign workers are a bigger factor. Anything which reduces union power, reduces the left.

if you can no longer ‘buy’ the votes, you can try to steal them. perhaps they can try to allow their electoral votes to be given to the national majority vote winner.
Wake up, America!

Public unions must be outlawed. The taxpayer is NOT represented!

I think Bloomburg is on FR’s excerpt list.

Awfully good news!
Not a big difference in membership, but very good trend.
Comparing rate of growth instead of membership would be an eye-opener.

There would be even more of an exodus were it not for the NEA affiliates who forbid their members to leave except during a very narrow window (about two weeks or less) at the time of ratifying a new contract.

Otherwise, you’re trapped for three to five years.

The California cycle of corruption

Union charges dues more than necessary to do business for “political action.”

Union uses political action funds to brine state politicians who they negotiate and who must approve their pay and benefits.

The bribed officials agree to contracts with great increases.

When increases come the union increases dues and builds up more paolical action funds; more bribes.

More bribes more bennies and so on and so firth.

I was a manager in that system. We hand no power to negotiate. The state office off labor relations did that, directed by the governor.

So we were glad when the union got a hick bump because managers got a nice bump too. No one represents the taxpayer when the pols are on the dole. When Gay Davis was governor it costs 100,000 to talk to him. The corretcions union was in there once month. Our director couldn’t talk to the governor, had to go to the agency secretary

A:

1) ‘Cuz lawyers\courts (I repeat myself) don’t bother to base their case/decisions VS. the Constitution. Just look at the Heller decision, “Sure the 2nd says ‘shall NOT be infringed’, BUT....”

2) If they DID #1, the whole ‘house of cards’ would be in jeopardy.

Schools reason for a separate court challenge. Since January is in effect all Union members should immediately be eligible to quit... Not having to wait for a window.
