Dinosaur union death watch
This is a real feel-good story.
Bankruptcy means Nobody has Anything.....except for the commie crooks at the top of the food chain.
Just goes to show that union members don’t like to pay oppressive taxes (here called union dues) just like the the rest of us.
Right on, that is exactly what it is.
All of those people who dropped out of the Union got a pay raise.
Whatever their Union dues were.
It is what all the State House Sit-ins were all about. The Unions agreed to the cuts, but didn't want the auto deduction of dues removed. Walker won and they were...
You are seeing the results, their funding is drying up and they will metaphorically die on the vine.
The question you should ask is, why isn't the decline more given the rank and have now have to cut the check for the Union Dues and send it in...
The AFSCME goons are bombarding state workers all over the country with emails right now. The goons are scared. That’s a good thing. They’ll soon all be unemployed and will have to go out and find real jobs. When they do, I hope a bunch thugs crawl out from under a rock and raid THEIR paychecks!
Actually, over 300,000 members dumped AFCSME after they no longer had to pay exhorbitant union dues to be used by the union against the wishes of the members.
I was forced to belong to AFCSME in my last job and was angry at the time! Far from the perception that all Union shops love their unions there were a few of us who resented the feeling that we were being shaken down with the “if you want to work at this company, then you have to give us a percentage” and resented even more that the government was acting as the “Enforcer” by taking the dues out of our salaries and sending them into the Union. Unions and Government make an unholy alliance and should be banned. The government I pay taxes to support should not be able to turn around and force me to pay union dues in order to hold a government job. Watching this union fail in Wisconsin will be a wonderful feeling!
Bump
By this time tomorrow, Governor Walker will have completed handing AFSCME its AZZ.
Looks like Walker picked up about 30,000 votes.
Pray for America
That’s a shame.
Put a fork in it the unions are dead and Walker wins. 30,000 union members have left. Are you going to tell me that 30,000 people are now going to vote against Walker so the unions can take dues out again? Fat chance. They either stay home and do not vote for the democrats or they make sure and vote and 30,000 vote against the unions. Either way the unions are screwed. The recall is dead.
Walker wins. Period end of sentence.
In government, there is no interested adversary to the union. The government has the ability to simply demand more revenue and thus has no incentive to quell union demands. Additionally, there are few government employees whose safety is imperiled working for government, so a safe workplace is not a concern.
