In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Herman Cain said he supports the "right" for public employees to bargain collectively. In other words, he is in favor of unions on the taxpayer dime. Cain also said federal workers have unions, meaning the right to collectively bargain, but they do not.
On the issue of collective bargaining, Cain said he supported the right of public employees to bargain collectively.
"But not collective hijacking. What I mean by that, if they have gotten so much for so many years and it's going to bankrupt the state, I don't think that's good. It appears that in some instances, they really don't care."

>> When public sector collective bargaining is in play, and especially when Democrats are in power, there is nobody sitting across the table representing the interest of the taxpayer. >>
YEP, a point made in this article in fact:

That's why it's necessary to keep federal employee organizational activities open and above board. If you drive that underground you'll get Commies.
You are the puke who started name calling when you lost ~ BIG ~ face it you’ve got nothing puke ~ you said “Troll”.
Your attempt to flash an alleged credential so we can just forget about the Communist threat of the last several decades is truly pitiful.
Just won't work. Lots of things happened. Joe Stalin (i'm sure you remember him ~ probably even have his picture nailed above the head of your bed) made a big push to inbed his Communist followers in the US government and it wasn't just at higher levels as appointees in State Department, etc.
He had low level folks infiltrate every agency including the Post Office Department as clerks, warehouse workers, whatever it took. He had Communist party union organizers working in the federal government. By 1941 we were at war with the Axis.
You people want to just forget Joe Stalin, WWII, the whole deal.
Ronald Reagan would have spit you out.
you’ll have to excuse muahiyah - she worked in the post office for 38 years, so she brings a real skewed point of view to this debate. Apparently wrote work place rules for the post office for 38 years. That would fry anyone’s brain not to mention insulating them from any whiff of the real world.

very disturbing - the Union take over of America is what obumbles promised the unions.
WE don’t need this ‘dream’ carried on: “SEIU! SEIU! SEIU!

This is no small matter.
Your 38 years of being a US Postal Worker bureaucrat has impeded your ability to make any sort of logical connection to reality.
They got where they are the old fashioned way ~ fear, intimidation, beatings, stolen elections, bribes.....
Time for a clean up, and if the FBI can't do it, somebody else will have to. Wonder where we can find patriotic red-blooded Americans to do that job?
Townhall perhaps? The TEA Party? Maybe the RNC national committee?
What about from the ranks of union members dissatisifed with what's going on. That's what FDR did. It worked. Time to do it again if we can get these anti-union jerkoffs out of the way. They'd rather have underground labor agitation replete with Commies than something more useful and normal.
The choice is you believe in American values and American rights or you don't.
While the concern and activities you reference occurred roughly as you relate, do you hold that they were successful and in fact removed communist influence from American labor unions or even public employee unions only?
From my considerable experience with unions since the 1960's, I would testify that the effort to rid unions of communists was no more than 50% successful at best.
My statement above on public sector collective bargaining is pretty definitive in my view... Once you understand that statement - there is no logical justification for public sector unions...
I’m familiar with FDR’s view on the subject. Not a crazy fan of him, but I’m in alignment with him on this subject...
Flame away...
You can post this and then have the nerve to complain about personal attacks. You really are a piece of work. And by the way I am a retired Social Studies teacher and you are the one who is clueless. The last time I looked Obama was for you union lackeys!
Man, you’re dangerous! :D How about posting a warning first? LOL!
Doesn’t surprise me one bit. He wants that UNION Label.
You make a good point - of course it would be ridiculous to think that the communists were eradicated and of course it would be naive not to look at the SEIU of today and not see that they are still communist statist radicals even if they were at one time eradicated.
Besides, there is no way in hell to make the case that to be anti government union is the same thing as being pro communist, as this 38 year veteran of the Post Office wants us to believe.
why don’t you two take it to the “private’ box - geeze
