Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, a self-described "Tea Party governor," leads the most egregious of these efforts. Upon election, he signed into law millions in tax breaks for business. Then, pointing to the budget crisis, he demanded not only harsh concessions from public workers - dramatic hikes in what they pay for pensions and health care - but crippling limits on their right to negotiate, limits on any pay increases and an annual vote to see if the union survives. As if to flaunt his power grab, he exempted the unions - police and firefighters - that endorsed him in the election.

I would think even a more basic rt is to get a job and not have to pay a thug who doesnt support your right to vote the way you want
The only thing worse than public employee unions are these so-called “civil rights groups” like the SPLC, NAACP, La Raza, ACLU, RainbowPush and so on.
Jesse Jackson is a bottom-feeder, race-baiting proverty piimp. Can anyone fine anything refining about him?
If belonging to a union is a “basic civil right”, isn’t forcing you to pay dues to join like imposing a poll tax to vote?
Race pimpin doesn't pay like it used to, but union money...thats where its at now! The teacher unions have helped destroy any chance of education reform for blacks in the cities of this country but the Rev. Jackson can't be bothered with the cesspool of public schools...he's too busy calling out MLK's name and counting benjamins while ignoring the people he says he's a voice for.
Frankly, if there was money to be made putting blacks on ships to Africa he'd be there with chains and locks in one hand and the other waiting to be greased. The man is scum
jesse hijackson is an assault on the human race. Just go away, you buffoon. Live on the millions that you have extorted throughout your “career”. Hide somewhere and spare us your insane racist rantings.
Jesse have you impregnated any young women recently? Only question he should be asked.
He’s probably wearing the blood stained shirt....
I’m convinced that DEMOCRAT KKK member James Earl Ray just missed the real target and hit MLK.
“Jackson has always viewed extortion as a basic civil right.”
Look for the Union Label...
