And elsewhere in the news, under the leadership of president Obama and his supporters......
Just think if the media was not so corrupt including ALL of TV including Fox which has Rove on their shilling for Obama - these unions would be hanging from posts.
Let me join in, Ms. Corfield. You're a clueless twit.
Boo effing hoo.
I have no respect for anyone in the “teaching” union.
Simple question - what are the unions doing to better serve the costumers?
For public employee unions, particularly those in the education realm, what is the union doing to make yyour products better - more children educated to a level that allows them to compete in a global marketplace.
If teacher X can't answer that, then teacher X should rethink where the dues are going and the kind of policies that the union supported elected officials back.
Public employee unions are a problem, plain and simple.
Who payes their salaries?
These public worker clowns are FOOLS.
“Waiting for Superman” should be required viewing for all Americans.
I love this one.
Public employees are getting owned

Public employee unions are the barbarian hordes of our time.
NJ teachers union last year collected $120 million in dues. FUNDED BY THE TAX PAYERS!!!!
The point I'm trying to make is that there are many public/state/city/county employees that work hard for the little that they earn. If you don't think I earn what I work for, open a backed-up lift station at 1:30am and get it working before it overflows (15 minutes or less). I work with some very conscientious people who do understand it's the taxpayers we work for, not the county commissioners. I do get upset when comments are made that 'all public employees' are crooks.
What made people despise her is the moment in the video where the Governor is attempting to give a reasoned, multi-part answer to her question and she sneers and cackles rather than listening to his response.
Her condescension, egotism and unjustifiable sense of entitlement were revealed at that moment.
Union employees believe that the reason why taxpayers, employers and customers exist is to provide them with whatever they happen to fancy, in perpetuity, while their job is to do the absolute least amount of work required and to do it at the last possible moment while displaying the worst attitude they can as they do it.
“The subtext of Christie’s message to a lot of people is that ‘you’re paying for benefits you’ll never have,’ ” he says. “Our challenge is how to defend middle-class health and retirement security, not just for our members but for all working families, when over the past 30 years retirement and health care in the private sector have been essentially demolished.”
Another clueless communist that doesn't know wtf is going on.
Maybe we should try and ask Mr Master just WHY retirement and healthcare for "all working families" in the private sector have "been essentially demolished" over the past 30 years.
I noticed the compared full benefits private to salary only public. Bias...

This is worth a full read. The article is well-researched, fair, and nicely written.
I can hardly believe it is from the MSNBC site.
I would like to see equal (negative) passion directed at both public unions and illegal aliens. Both are sucking us dry.
Why will they never mention the number of days worked for teachers compared to the private sector? Given 260 work days in a year and allowing two weeks of vacation and 10 paid holidays (many, many people don't get anywhere that much), the average private employee works 240 days a year. A teacher works about 190 days a year. IOW, the private worker has to go to work about 25% more days to earn the same salary. Add in lack of job security and personal health care costs and it's not even a horserace!
I wonder how much the NYC snow plow drivers and their union bosses make, including bennies? We at least know they made double overtime for Sunday work. I’m sure that thrills people like nurses and police who do that all the time...
So I guess she's used to people she does know calling her horrible names.
