Why would the unions want to wage war on public employees?
Unions are about as worthless as tits on a boar..
News flash Unions.. No one cares about you any more.
Public union employee pensions will bankrupt municipalities.
Period. full stop.
These guys will be really fired up if Scott Walker is the Republican Presidential nominee. Union and especially Public Service Unions hate him.
Public employee unions are the only unions which continue to grow. We all know the draw backs involved with public sector unions and their close ties to the Democrat Party. Nevada, and especially Las Vegas and Reno, have serious problem with the new public sector unions that were formed to organize the illegals as kitchen workers, hotel workers, etc. The gambling industry is not thriving and is very dependent on the low wage illegals. Pressure to legalize these workers is going to be strong.
They should probably not bring their “war” to Virginia.
From the Code of Virginia:
§ 40.1-55
Employee striking terminates, and becomes temporarily ineligible for, public employment.
Any employee of the Commonwealth, or of any county, city, town or other political subdivision thereof, or of any agency of any one of them, who, in concert with two or more other such employees, for the purpose of obstructing, impeding or suspending any activity or operation of his employing agency or any other governmental agency, strikes or willfully refuses to perform the duties of his employment shall, by such action, be deemed to have terminated his employment and shall thereafter be ineligible for employment in any position or capacity during the next twelve months by the Commonwealth, or any county, city, town or other political subdivision of the Commonwealth, or by any department or agency of any of them.
That can’t happen under King Barack anyway, can it?
War on public employees? Sure, on the nonessential. But the real war needs to be on their unions.
Union leaders know unions have past their useful life.
What about the families who work to support them?
IMHO, to call most unionized government employees "working" is to defame productive workers everywhere.
Public unions must die. Not the members of them, but the whole concept is a complete lie. Never should have been allowed. If you want to work for USG, it is a privilege, you don’t get special bargaining rights via both a union and your votes.
Unions have been at war with working families since their inception, in favor of Government Employees.
—the Las Vegas R-J has an unrelated piece this morning about a Metro detective , in jail for beating up a hooker, who made $170,000 last year—guess that indicates that our “public servants” aren’t all underpaid-—
Good. Then let’s give ‘em what they’re waiting for.
Paper pushers. It’s a rough gig.
If the entrenched parasite of public unions is not exterminated it will destroy the taxpayer host.
