The Commies are way off the mark on this one. If Walker was seeking to disband public unions, I could see the reaction. Yet, all he is asking them to do is to put a small fraction of the private sector money they already receive into their own retirements and healthcare premiums.
The out-of-proportion reaction to this simple bill by Obama and his libs should tell all private citizens what they need to know about their motives.
Well, to be accurate, Walker’s bill does remove all negotiation except for salary from State Workers. The thing that really has the union bummed, though, is that the State won’t collect the union dues anymore and pass them along to the unions. The unions will have to collect their dues directly from their members. Also, the unions must be recertified by the membership on a yearly basis.
The reason that Walker wants to remove all negotiations from the unions is that the average to settle a contract in WI is 15 months. This simply won’t do with the budget crisis at hand.
Government Greed on display.
