The money isn't available to pay these public union employees. It really doesn't matter at this point, who is responsible for America's wealth having disappeared. All employees, and that certainly includes public sector employees, no matter how much they are paid, will always want more. In case people haven't noticed, they often mention how they have taken pay freezes. I guess that's giving concessions in their minds. Meanwhile, the rest of us working have watched our wages dwindle.
shocked at the # of trolls on here clinging to their fox news "facts." Try doing a little research before you repeat what you're fed. Look up the ten states with the highest union memberships and you'll find 8 of the ten are the strongest economically in the country. you want to fix the deficit? pay the same taxes as everyone else! against taxes? go somewhere like el salvador where taxes aren't enforced and see the garbage covered streets where there is no trash collection.
@cloogerdude ....Maybe you should learn to read because I stated in my post that I DO NOT BELONG TO A UNION !!! And never have !!! I support peoples rights and against any dictator trying to elimminate those rights .This is the USA not the USSR !!!
I really hope that Ohio and Wisconsin never vote Republican again! I live in Ohio but I did not vote Republican. I hope it fially safe to say the any Republican running in the future has now "lost" Ohio and Wisconsin votes. The Republicans say they are "all about goverment not taking away peoples rights". Well they just did. Just another ploy to keep the middle working class down.
WE GOT LOCKED OUT OF OUR STATE HOUSE TOO !!! WISCONSIN STANDS WITH YOU IN SOLIDARITY !!! SHOW THEM WHO THEY WORK FOR !!! WE CAN WIN THIS !! THIS IS A HOSTILE CORORATE TAKEOVER OF OUR STATES !!! WE NEED TO TAKE OUR STATES AND COUNTRY BACK !! I'm not in a union, but it's about alot more . When they strip peoples rights away is when every American should stand up !!! DON'T STOP FIGHTING !!!
Wisconsin's South Central Federation of Labor Issues General Strike Warning The federation of 45,000 workers, went on record on Feb. 21, as opposing all provisions in Walker's bill,"and voted to endorse preparations for a general strike. While this is just a threat at this point, the decision is a tremendous step forward. Such a strike would take much effort and courage, but if shutting down the economy is what is needed to get the bill repealed, then that's what labor needs to do.
You should get a pay raise on merit and efficiency merit is who you know efficiency is how well you know him so every bodies pay should be on merit and efficiency that's the way the Republican party is they believe in merit and efficiency again merit is who you know and efficiency is how well you know them that is the Republican way that's why they want to break the union so support merit and efficiency and the Republican way
Tea Party people, workers are on the march. We can now see that the elite have been trying to keep us divided for so long. You can join us in the struggle or you can get swept aside. Workers unite.
@TheKestrel4aKnave Good luck with that! LOL! Only 10% of the US work force is unionized. Bankruptcy is on the way. Wake up and smell the shi* hole America is in. Unions only make it worse.
@1969lincolnosirisIif you unions are going to try to intimadate me and my family lets finally have that show down you want . I will hunt down you and all the scum bags like you and we will have the civil war that is way over do . I'M WILLING TO DIE FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN ARE YOU ?
@1969lincolnosiris Of course i wasn't at the protest i don't belong to some union where i can just call in sick and skip out on my responsibilities like you . Your day of reckoning is at hand and if it doesn't come as the result of a decision in the state house and the slamming of a gavel it's going tp come at the end of the barrel of a gun i promise you that .
@hanksnow82 I'm a union member and I don't just call in sick and skip out on my responsibilities. You are skipping out on your responsibilities by posting this ridiculous post about people who are the same class or higher class than you are. Grow up.
Our economic system is breaking and eventually will collapse. The worst is yet to come. The return of Christ is fast approaching. Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon His name while He is near.
You should get a pay raise on merit and efficiency merit is who you know efficiency is how well you know him so every bodies pay should be on merit and efficiency that's the way the Republican party is they believe in merit and efficiency again merit is who you know and efficiency is how well you know them that is the Republican way that's why they want to break the union so support merit and efficiency and the Republican way
This should be a lesson to all working people that voted Republican Republican is strictly for the rich and the powerful and the ruling class they will fuck the ruling class and enjoys fucking working people so you people that voted for the Republican party get what you deserve
If you are an Ohio Democrat or Independent and you sat at home while the GOP walked back into office last November, this must be very difficult for you to watch. We need to get engaged and stay engaged. As you can see Ted Strickland has not given up on you. What are you going to do?
Where are the teabaggers to protest the denial of access to the statehouse? Remember when it was their RIGHT to enter the halls of Congress to knock on the doors and ask questions of Congress. Now they are silent.
@MidnightChimes You mean the tea party movement? ive been to a tea party before i think what you guys are doing is pretty much inline with the original intent of the tea party a peoples movement saying we are angry with the govt.
I beleive it is our right to enter the state house, you guys just need to let that be known.
@MidnightChimes coming from a "teabagger" as you referred to it as... kindve fkd up that you refer to a idea that was inspired by a event that happened right before the American revolution and try to make it sound either dirty or stupid. Why aren't you all carrying Gadsden flags etc. if you all feel so strongly that something is a "right" and not a privilege. i was at a tea party and i didnt vote for any one thats for this bill. so direct the hate else where than the tea party protests
@cxa2500 Explain. These are government workers and had union members only make up 10% of the nation's workforce. Lies never stop from your side. Americans have had enough with the left's agenda. Wake up. Nobody wants class warfare.
@XxlivinwithitxX True, nobody wants class warfare. The right-wing wants class massacre. That's why the people owe over a trillion dollars in debt, cause the rich sure won't pay it. They couldn't be asked for a fucking second to give a penny to the people struggling to make ends meet. And I don't mean the lazy-asses not working, I mean the real, hardworking people in this country who are just trying to pay the bills whilst the rich take million dollar bonuses they never earned.
@goopysoupmonkey You are deluded. There are already states where collective bargaining is banned and nobody is a slave to the corporations. Take my state of Texas, though it has banned collective bargaining, almost everyone owns a car, groceries are on average 20% lower than the rest of the nation while gas is on average 30% lower. When you create a friendly business environment, the businesses pay you back with lower prices. Just because you are a deluded left-winger doesn't mean you're smart.
@TheInnerMission believe it or not its probably the security operating procedure of the state troopers not the orders of the politicians. i believe you all have a right to be inside and i am definitely not a democrat.
stop craping on my statehouse you losers. if sb5 is repealed then you lose your job. will your beloved union support you? wake up!!@!!!!!
