Unfortunately for Democrats and the unions, there has been more talk the last few weeks than ever. Every man and his dog is now versed to some degree on the difference. For the most part people now understand that they, the tax payer, are the evil corporation in the public union narrative. It may make them sorry they decided to use Wisconsin to give the nation's otherwise disinterested voter this civics lesson.
About a week ago I saw an article about Ed Hill, the IBEW president urging the rank and file to march in support of WI teachers. The dirty little secret is that while saying this he's systematically breaking down conditions within the IBEW by introducing a new class of lower paid electricians. Long story short, since members of the IBEW must sign up for jobs on a jobs board, naturally the contractor will take the lower paid classification first. Bottom line, if you as a member want to work, you'll need to sign up on the lower paid list.
Unions had their place decades ago when we were working 7 days a week, 20 hours a day for 6 cents a week. Now I don’t believe that anyone is working these hours or that may days a week. Unions are past their goodness. Time for them to say goodbye.
that’s true.
If you don’t like a company for being union(or not being) you don’t have to shop there or buy their product.
what option do you have with government unions-not pay taxes?
