They make it sound like that’s a bad thing. Public sector labor unions should not even exist.
Scott Walker: Day One Patient Freedom Plan
The government has no business being in the health care field.
Commie, Joan Walsh, makes it a black and white issue, since, proportionally, black workers have high employment numbers in the public sector.
....Walker is a master of the politics of resentment, turning Wisconsin into an ideological war zone and pitting the good white people of the state against the cities, particularly heavily African American Milwaukee. In his crusade against public sector unions, Walker counted on the ire of private sector workers who’ve watched their own wages and benefits decline, at paying for a public sector where employees have it better than they do....
The left doesn’t care about Black people, never has. They’re tools and pawns to use to get political power. The left should be indicted for crimes against humanity for what they’ve done to the Black community in America.
TOTAL VICTORY - Scott Walker wants to destroy what’s left of America’s public sector unions
Walker also said on that first day as president, he would issue an executive order to undo a “special deal” Obama gave Congress, which lets the federal government pay some of congressional staffers’ health insurance. He said scrapping that would light a fire under Congress to pass the repeal.
Walker also took aim at Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, by reminding the event’s audience that a health care plan (nicknamed Hillarycare) similar to Obama’s law was a hallmark effort, though unsuccessful, of her time as First Lady in the 1990s and put forth during her first bid for the presidency in 2008.
“As bad as things have been under Obamacare, they’d only get worse under Hillary Clinton,” Walker said.
On Twitter Clinton said the law needs to be protected, not repealed.
It’s the well they keep returning to.
Hillary: “I ain’t no ways tired, I’ve come to far from where I started from....”

March 31, 2015: Obama vetoes NLRB legislation
"In one of his first clashes with the new Republican-dominated Congress over labor policy, President Obama vetoed a GOP-backed resolution Tuesday that would halt a National Labor Relations Board rule making it easier for workers to hold so-called “ambush” union-organizing elections.
It was Mr. Obama’s second veto since Republicans took control of the Senate in January, following his rejection in February of a measure that would have expedited the construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline...."
Sept 2, 2015: NLRB and Small Business: Tensions Heightened Under Obama
"The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has pushed for rules that critics argue have favored unions and targeted the small business community. The board's latest controversial decision came last week, in a ruling that makes employers liable for labor violations committed by business partners and contractors.
The Hill reported five other NLRB rulings that were decided during President Obama's tenure that were against the best interest of small business. “There’s perhaps no labor board that has done more for organized labor than this one has,” Michael Lotito, an employment and labor attorney, told the The Hill. The labor board has “really put the wind back in the sails of unions,” said Beth Milito, NFIB Senior Legal Counsel, according to The Hill....."
Michael Lotito, co-chairman of the conservative Workplace Policy Institute:
“This plan would be seen by organized labor as a threat to its existence, and they would put every single resource at their disposal, they would stop at nothing, they would access every single political contact that they had in order to make sure that none of it ever came to the light of day.”
So Joan Walsh is effectively saying then, is that the preponderance of workers in public sector unions are black, especially for cities. Imagine. More black government workers than black - that’s what she’s saying. Home come that? Isn’t that discriminatory against whites, Hispanics, Asians, etc.? Seems to me to be a whole lotta black privilege going on here, don’t it?
Additionally, Walker could not have fostered the ‘ire’ of private sector workers (presumably white, as she implies not majority black) had the ‘ire’ not been there in the first place. Or is she trying to say he’s the fault for that, too?
Unions EXIST because of bullies and thugs. When you take down a bully, you’re rightly a hero and not a bully.
When “The Jungle” was written, there was massive need for reform.
Even with Hoffa and his mobster buddies, he go the guys a living wage.
That’s ANCIENT history.
There are a million labor safety laws, no one is going to drive a truck for 10 bucks an hour, and unions are little more than a wing of the dem party.
or i could be wrong :)
If only...
Unions are the money, muscle and organization that sustains the Left.
You take away what sustains those who fight us.
You are right.
I admire you for standing by your guy.
May the best man win!!
