  • Get over yourself idiot. Union are one of the founding pillars of a democracy, the right to freely associate and make decisions as a collective. Would you ban political parties, football clubs. Unions have democratic structures so members can vote in their leaders or vote them out gee that sounds like democracy.

  • @bellaree I feel the same way about the teamsters.

  • Bear in mind, the contracts were long in the works before the budget bill was in place, Public unions cannot strike, it was always illegal for them, Collective bargaining has more than 'wages' in it's terms as far as negotiations. I feel the failure comes in place when the partys on the table aren't 'negotiating' And the local government was able to subcontract on many levels, in some cases more expensively than using state workers to accomplish the same goal. Both sides need to be balanced

  • PART XI: Collective bargaining is all about taxpayers’ money. That is what government unions bargain for.— James Sherk is a senior policy analyst in labor economics in the Center for Data Analysis at the Heritage Foundation.

  • PART X: If collective-bargaining reform gets taken off the table, unions will go right back to demanding that taxpayers cough up more. Letting government unions keep their monopoly ties the hands of voters’ elected representatives and forces them to spend enough to keep the unions satisfied. (Continue to Part XI)

  • PART IX: And if they keep their monopoly, unions may not make even concessions today. Wisconsin union leaders publicly insist they accept Governor Walker’s proposed increases in employee contributions, but it looks like their municipal locals didn’t get the memo — they are locking in contracts that make none of those changes. (Continue to Part X)

  • PART VIII:● Collective bargaining is the reason Milwaukee Public Schools spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Viagra instead of on educating students.

    If unions have the power to force government to hire on their terms, they have the power to press for more tax dollars. Unions might make concessions now, but tomorrow is another day. (Continue to Part IX)

  • PART VII● Collective bargaining is the reason taxpayers in Wisconsin cover almost all the cost of government pensions and 94 percent of government workers’ health-care premiums.● Collective bargaining is the reason most Wisconsin school districts buy health coverage from a company created by the Wisconsin Education Association — even though their premiums cost far more than competing carriers. (Continue to Part VIII)

  • PART VI: By law the government can employ workers only on the terms negotiated by the union; it cannot hire non-union workers to do the job. That means the government must reach an agreement with the union to get anything done. The voters’ elected representatives do not have the final say.This gives unions enormous power over government budgets, which they use to get more of the budget spent on them: (Continue to Part VII)

  • PART V: What Collective Bargaining Gets You By James Sherk

    When someone says, “It’s not about the money,” you know it’s about the money.

    Unions in Madison insist that their protests are really about collective bargaining. But collective bargaining is about the money. Collective bargaining gives a public-sector union a monopoly over the government’s workforce. (Continue to Part VI)

  • PART IV: It seems that unions get politicians elected and the politicians have no qualms about paying off their supporters by granting them their demands, especially since the politician uses tax payer dollars to do so. Is it ok to bargain from both sides of the table? (Continue to Part V)
