When you see the protesters in Wisconsin, you realize thousands of them are college kids. Some are from out of state. And you wonder how many are left that are actually from Wisconsin. Regardless, you'll be amazed to see what they stand for.
- A Years Worth of Pay for 30 Days of Work - Under the Green Bay School Districts collectively bargained Emeritus Program, teaches can retire and receive a years worth of salary for working only 30 days over a three year period. This is paid in addition to their already guaranteed pension and health care payouts. At the average annual salary for a Green Bay teacher of $51,355, this amounts to a daily rate of pay of $1,711.83, or an hourly rate of $213.98. Since most retiring teachers receive higher than average salary, these amounts are, in practice, much higher. How many of those protesting college kids realize they are out their fighting the good fight for people making $213 an hour!!! Governor Walker's office released details of these items this week.
- The $150,000 Bus Driver - Oh, and this is worth driving in from out of state to picket for! Better call Jesse Jackson to come in for this one and call off school to holler and shout for this poor public union employee! Give me a freaking break!!! In 2009, the City of Madisons highest paid employee was a bus driver who earned $159,258, including $109,892 in overtime, guaranteed by a collective bargaining agreement. In total, seven City of Madison bus drivers made more than $100,000 per year in 2009. "That's the (drivers') contract," said Transit and Parking Commission Chairman Gary Poulson.

Excellent article. Why is none of this ever mentioned in the mainstream media? (No need to answer that.)
I like what Rush said about this: how can it be collective bargaining?? A private sector union actually does have collective bargaining: management, who actually pays the workers, sits down with the union bosses. In these public unions, POLITICIANS SUPPORTED BY THE UNIONS sit down with the union bosses. The employers, WE THE PEOPLE, do not have a say at the table at all. It’s easy to give away other people’s money.
