That used to work, but now THERE IS NO MORE MONEY!!

Quoting: The ChefSince I am not a Teamster I have no idea if this will or could happen or not. The union did offer concessions to the governor everything he asked except the collective bargaining rights. With all the other states following so quickly you have to believe it is a strategy from a higher level. 1) Why would Teamsters care anyway? They are not government employees. 2) The Collective Bargaining rights on pensions and bennies are the reason the local counties, municipalities and towns cannot cut back on their budgets. Their hands are tied by UNION CONTRACTS forced down on them by State rules. In order to be able to adjust their budgeets as they need to locally....the COLLECTIVE BARGAINING RIGHTS must go. The video explains why they might care. They consider it a litmus test on workers rights so there you go. I soooooo hope they try it. This will SOLIDIFY the fate of the Unions. |

They are planning rallies around the country to support the Wisconsin workers. Unions around the country are getting ready to mobilize and are planning to strike if this trend continues around the U.S. Quoting: The ChefSo this union president was telling me that there has been discussions with the Teamsters and that they may strike if it comes down to it because they see this legislation as all out assault on unions. The Teamsters of course control not all but a good part of the truckers around the country. So could freight stop or slow down? Maybe. It could definitely slow down food and other goods around the country. Be interesting to see what happens. What say you? Considering all that is going on in the world right now to screw the economy more than it already is... If the unions want to take responsibility for throwing the USA into a FULL BLOWN DEPRESSION...let them GO FOR IT!!! ...and they WILL see the political wrath of PRIVATE USA CITIZENS like you have NEVER IMAGINED OR SEEN BEFORE. GO FOR IT UNIONS!!!! DO IT!!!! |

Sorry Scoobydo time for a reality check. Teamster employers in the private sector contribute toward their health care and pensions as well as education etc.. Perhaps you need to do some research. As for your contention that tax dollars are the peoples money that only holds true in as much as the people deliver it to a central authority. By this delivery they relinquish control of it to their elected representatives. Similarly in the private realm my clients pay for the services my company renders. They surrender payment to me and I make the decisions as to what is done with it not them! The only difference is in the private sector they can vote so to speak by going elsewhere whereas in the public sector we have to wait for elections. |

Suppressing wages since there is more worker demand and not enough jobs.

Once the unions are gone, so goes the wages, benefits and worker safety. Edit: I am not a union member and I have lost many a job opportunity to a union member. However, I realize what unions have done for me. Last Edited by exStepfordian on 02/24/2011 08:28 PM All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed.

Quoting: The ChefSince I am not a Teamster I have no idea if this will or could happen or not. The union did offer concessions to the governor everything he asked except the collective bargaining rights. With all the other states following so quickly you have to believe it is a strategy from a higher level. Of course it is! Look at who donates to the REPOS this is their payoff. Lower labor rates greater profits that's the name of the game. In my opinion anybody who works for a living and supports the REPOS is just plain stupid! or they are a paid shill but one way or the other stupid is right. |

Yes but here you have punk losers talking shit that they either heard from rush limbaugh or are being paid to post. To do the research required to have your understanding takes a lot of reading and for the punk losers that post shit here, that makes their lips tired in a hurry. The liberal and conservative newscasters serve a good purpose, in that they provide factual but a incomplete picture in order to rally their "team" like a good football game, to keep the people divided from the bigger picture. Right now, it is about Unions and thats all they want you to see. I work in the private sector, but that does not mean I do not see what is going on either. I know the unions get paid more than the private sector, but that is because they have been keeping up with inflation, but that is because it is easier to break down the private sector through policies well tried throughout time in order to break them as they have been doing. With the unions they have to break contracts and its in your face with unions and no tiptoeing around it. It makes me realize that people will do anything if led like sheep, and when the time comes to chip them, they will give excuses that it is for our safety, or so were not robbed by banksters or crooks etc. Those on Wall Street and their crooked deals will serve a purpose in their plans eventually, but the top ones running things will not suffer |
