"It's Only Hate When Republicans Do It": Screencaps of the Violent, Hateful Union Communist Movement
Late-Night-Reading-Ping
Very well done, shibumi. In a world of layoffs and belt tightening, I believe that events such as what happened in Wisconsin is only going to galvanize the public against public employee unions. Community agitation can work both ways.
NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE, 5-25-10
Public Service doesnt mean you're to be serviced by the public for life
President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans. Businesses that offered plans like many governments have would go bankrupt. Gov’t entities will, too, eventually, but it will be much more painful.
This is why unions should again be outlawed for public employees.
When collective bargaining was brought into American schools in the 1960s, it was a revenue stream and power base for Big Labor. Suddenly, union bosses became more interested in building political muscle than educating children.
At that point the battle between unions and school boards became more focusing on salary, benefits, pensions and working conditions for adults, and less about students.
Kids are only pawns in the self-serving union game.
What is the purpose of teacher unions? To work for children? Establish new and better requirements? Push their members to better serve parents and children?
"Despite what some among us would like to believe, it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children. And it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees" ...National Education Association's just-retired General Counsel Bob Chanin. (The NEA is the County and State Association's parent body).
NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin Says Farewell:
As legendary New York teachers union leader Albert Shanker said, "When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children."
All government unions should be banned. The idea that government workers need protection from guess who?? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, is ridiculous. remember, teachers are government employees. Ban government unions.

Great post.
In the name of spreading the wealth around, how’s about giving me some of your talent ?
This is my favorite part:
“But of course, that would have necessitated that they actually educate those put in their charge. Instead they indoctrinated, dumbed down and drugged multiple generations, transforming them into an overpaid and under qualified work force of which they now find themselves as the paradigm.”
Thanks!
Every industry the unions touch turns to shinola. It is no wonder our public schools are in such a mess, it is no wonder our local and state governments are in such a mess. The public unions will do what they have done to the auto and steel industries in the US—sucked them dry. Private sector unions at least have the constraint of the bottom line. There is no such constraint in the public unions and they suck the taxpayers dry with the politicians connivance. Taxpayers must say no to public sector largesse.
BTTT
This is one well written post. Excellent summary.

But if the NEA actually produced voters who understand the system they are a part of, there would be no need for Socialism.
And where would the NEA be without Socialism?
Defunct.

Another fine essay, Sensei.
Well done, shibumi!
Spot on.
I saw video of the demonstrators and they sure looked like a bunch of chicken-chokers to me.
Nice article.
Awesome, thanks for the post!
Well-written piece, Shibumi.
What the union parasites are finding is that they’ve sucked so much blood from their hosts for so long that the hosts have deteriorated from chronically anemic to gravely ill. Still, the unions demand more blood. The hosts have had enough and the deparasitization has commenced with vigor.
Sensei’s powers have returned in full force. That’s excellent.
Of course, this is true across the board for all parties dependent on such illogical programs as illegal immigration, banking corruption, endless foreign wars, etc. One needs to ask themselves: who ultimately benefits? Why was the state, with all its bitter manifestations now bearing fruit, so short sighted?
My personal opinion is that certain people recognized the inherent flaws in the system and devoted themselves to maximizing the available short-term opportunities (ie looting) before a complete system crash.
