When it happens across the North East I’ll believe it.
I do hope it will

Probably the best article I have read about public employee unions and the Wisconsin recall.

I have always felt that when a public union organizes they are organizing against the taxpayer, and IMO since they are making a labor contract in which the taxpayer has no say, it must be contrary to the Constitution. Where am I going wrong?

Government Employees are the largest Lobby Group in the USA.
We need to bring this Special Interest to its knees.
Currently, our elected officials are scared to death to take on the Government Employee Special Interest.
We need to attact the Government Employee Lobby Group at all levels.
At the local level vote in rules to prohibit union employees in your city, school, and county government.
Do not rely upon someone else to do it for you. You need to start at the local level and then work up.

LOL. You’re my kind of cynic.

Excellent piece and right on about collective bargaining for public sector employees.
I'd support a small fee for employees to have an organization to represent them on grievances and to protect employee rights granted by law but limit it and get the organization representing them out of the political scene.

I wonder how long until the teachers and others refusing to pay dues are browbeaten and harassed into doing so again.
You just know this will happen as the unions turn inward now to police their ranks.

When unions bargain with management in the private sector, both sides are contending for a share of the private profits that labor helps produce -- and both sides are constrained by the pressures of market discipline.
But when labor and management bargain in the public sector, they are divvying up public funds, not private profits.Key sentences - have been using something similar in every argument I have had. That "divvying up public funds" instead of "sharing private profits" are great terms to use.

Union members and their supporters, incandescent with rage, likened Walker to Adolf Hitler...
That's some industrial strength freudian transference right there.
