Wisconsin Union Attacks on Gove. Walker ping
FReep mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconisn interest ping list.
More big buck thug money from Obama’s friends to try to destroy fair business practices in Wisconsin
(So my friends there tell me anyway.....)
Stay strong Wisconsin, your FRiends in Georgia support you!
Gee, I thought Unions were supposed represent employees to negotiate with employers, how did that turn into bilk the government for more money and benefits?
I think your friends are right.
The public employee unions have pledged to spend $60 million on their RECALL effort to viciously attack Gov. Walker and distort the truth about the success of his governorshipIt's the dem/left/obama/chicago/thug/criminal way don'tcha know?
If the Unions and Dems blow huge dinero$ in attempts to defeat Walker but he wins by a landslide instead that will be sweeter than Cuban sugar cane syrup.
WARNING: The unions will do anything to win this one. they must win. If they do not then other electorates will also be able to deny them the ability to confiscate union dues directly from wages. If the unions lose this one they are DONE.
The union crime bosses are going all out on this one.
I hope they are wasting their money.
We have to not only get out the vote, but fight against voter fraud and intimidation.
Plus the PTB’s allowing Mickey Mouse and Hitler to vote.
I pray your friends are right!
Yes, he is like the Rabbi that scored a hole in one on a Saturday ( Walker ) he can't tell of his victory i.e paycheck protection
That is,/I>what this is all about, with it they are done.
FWIW, Michigan got it in a limited way with I believe teachers only.
Watch Michigan next, and a guy by the name of Terry Bowman of Union Conservatives.
This is all a test to see if they CAN rig elections come November.
It is all the Art of War
Well, if they can’t drive Walker out of office maybe they can go party in Vegas - or hunt hookers in South American... Unions - Government workers - whatever...
I also have a couple friends there and they are saying the same thing.
The unions are making the case to keep Walker where he is. Gotta love it!
Unless this was changed later, I think a major issue was that not only was the governor changing their money without negotiation, he was also refusing to negotiate over hours and working conditions.
To clarify...
Act 10 was Walker’s budget reform. Under it the law allows state, school districts, and municipal employers to ask state employees to contribute a minimum percentage toward their health care and their pensions. It withdrew the privilege that the unions had in ‘collective bargaining, limiting their bargaining to wages and limiting those to inflation. Their working conditions are still protected by state civil service laws.
Keeping the record very clear, Walker did try to negotiate with the unions before the Act 10. They called him a ‘slave master’ for asking for these concessions.
What really torqued the unions was that Act 10 also relieved the state of the responsibility to collect union dues. This stops the easy income of big labor and over time will lead to a drastically smaller income. That is why they are on the warpath.
Stopping big unions allowed our property taxes to go down. It will also lead to improvement in our schools.
Oh I forgot one more element. The teacher’s unions had used their collective bargaining to force school districts to use the teacher’s union’s own health insurance company. This company charged about 1/3 over market rates. Getting rid of this coerced sweetheart deal saved Wisconsin taxpayers in the neighborhood of eight hundred million dollars.
Those are the major issues.
