Why again is the state of Wisconsin putting up with this? Oh, that's right, the unions are specially privileged citizens who have rights beyond those of normal citizens.
The teachers' union needs to be charged for the cost of the additional security and for repair to the capitol building walls. And, the teachers' union need to be liable for the cost of daycare, lost wages, and any other costs incurred because of their refusal to do their jobs. The teachers have an implied contract with the people of Wisconsin and they've not fulfilled their obligations.
This entire situation has become ridiculous. Wisconsin is being held hostage by union thugs. Allow the thuggery once, and you guarantee that it'll be back.
I was under the impression that the teachers strike was illegal in Wisconsin.
What we haven’t heard much about are the SEIU 1199 members. Do they have a presence in this strike or are they holding back? It is my guess that those doctors who handed excuse notes to the strikers were probably SEIU 1199 members.
I doubt they have because they are too busy saying the Tea Party is hurting civil debate.
