Wisconsin has lost tens of thousands of jobs due to democrat and union control. It's not only happening in Michigan, it's happening everywhere in a democrat controlled environment, like California, Massachusetts , New Jersey, etc. Governor Jim Doyle is responsilbe for the downfall of Wisconsin's economy.

Union card holders ought to have “STUPID” tattooed on their foreheads. Being from Michigan, I say turn it into a Right to Work state and the jobs will not be leaving.

Good luck to union cheeseheads, hope you like working at the Scotish restaurant - McDonalds.

Union workers at Mercury Marine put their jobs at risk Sunday when they rejected a package of wage and benefit concessions the boat engine maker said it needed or it would move their work to a nonunion plant in Oklahoma.

Union leaders did not immediately release Sunday’s tally but said the vote was “overwhelming” to reject what the company called its final offer.


I LOVE IT! Go ahead Union, strike. You will be talking of your jobs as fond memories!

I grew up in Wisconsin and now live in Minnesota. What a tragedy that union thugs are so stupid that they drive the largest employer out of Fond du Lac, WI. What dumb ass idiots liberals, demoRATs & unions are!!!

I love the states of both Wisconsin & Minnesota, and the incredible beauty & hunting & fishing & agricultural backgrounds of these two states. That being said, it is bitterly disappointing that so many dumb ass people live in these two states and vote consistently for even dumber ass, anti-American, anti-business, pro-homosexual, pro-socialist rat bastards like libtards Jim Doyle, Senators Feingold & Kohl, lesbian congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, congressman David Obey, in Wisconsin, and in Minnesota, we have clown buffoon Al Franken, Amy Klobuchar, Tim Walz, Collin Peterson, muslim Keith Ellison, and a whole host of libtards in states & local governments. What is the matter with the dumb asses in these two states. Get the hell out, go live in NY or CA, and let our states be run by freedom loving, free enterprise patriots.

Will Oklahoma hopefully pick up 8,000 NON-Union Mercury Marine jobs?

Let’s hope.

The soon to be unemployed:

Photo from press conference with union representatives at the union hall in Fond du Lac, Wis., after Mercury Marine union employees voted no, Sunday, Aug. 23, 2009, on the issue of accepting the company's final negotiated offer of reduced wages and benefits. Mercury announced today it will shut down manufacturing in Fond du Lac and consolidate operations at it's Stillwater, Okla., plant in the next 24-36 months.

The scene in Nat’l Lampoon's Vegas vacation comes to mind.

The Dealer tells Clark Griswald that he can split the $$$, and he will go out back and beat him over the head with a baseball bat. The result would be the same, only better for Clark.

Yeah, but the problem is those people migrate to non-Union states like VA and try to change it to what they left. Stay in Wisconsin, Mercury workers!

I live in Madison Wi. This is a disaster for Fond du Lac! I can’t believe that those union idiots voted against contract concessions in this economy. They have NO idea what they’ve done. Fond du Lac will look like Gary IN in 5 years.
