The terms “public service” and “Unions” has an automatic conflict of interest. We have an out of control bureaucracy because public servants are difficult to fire because of union protection.
Wisconsin has made great strides in crippling Unions since Governor Walker took over.
My Dad was a Union Guy; he feels Unions are no longer needed.
Beau was a Union Guy; he feels Unions are no longer needed.
The TEACHERS in our state, once given the option, fled their Union in DROVES in Wisconsin.
Funny how letting people KEEP THEIR OWN MONEY and not having it siphoned off to support the SOCIALISTS will change hearts and minds, isn’t it? ;)
Tell me about it. I work for a local gov’t in IT. We have a “Senior Programmer” who only knows Fox Pro and refuses to learn any new languages. He stonewalls on everything and is a general PITA, but earns just shy of six figures with a massive pension in store because he is a “lifer” (worked for the county well over 30 years).
He’s an obstructionist and never does a lick of work other than the bear minimum of what would be a helpdesk/desktop support worker’s job description. He actually called the manager to ask what the Dell support phone number was!!!
He will search engine nothing and constantly push back on everything. He’s almost 65 and we all pray for the day he signs up for medicare and walks out!
