Ladies Sing to Protest Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker

How can you disagree with these nice ladies?

These ladies and the people around them are the heart of Wisconsin, and they demonstrate how important workers' rights are to the state. Singing lyrics like "Recall Scott Walker Right Now" to familiar tunes, the ladies draw a crowd of protesters who sing along.

@PubliusNumber9 LAZY IGNORANT SCUM FUCK YOU ALL AND YOUR MOOCHER ATTITUDES WE DON?T NEED YOU

[largraf]

Ha ha, you guys are defeated. Sore losers. You're gonna have to take a pay cut like the rest of us. Don't like it. We'll, just thank Obama for driving the states broke. Obama's already laughing at you, his 'sheeple.'

@yakyakyak69 I don't think that's what we call freedom of speech. When you get hired you have the freedom to speak your mind before accepting the position, and the business has the freedom to speak their mind. If you two don't agree after some time negotiating, someone walks away.

As I stated many times now, the state workers of Wisconsin have agreed to take the financial concessions the state needs to fix the budget. We won't go bankrupt protecting our rights, and that's a solid fact.

[yakyakyak69]

@PubliusNumber9 You HAD your freedom of speech when you voted.

YOU LOST, now you want EVERYONE ELSE'S Freedom of Speech.

And NO, you're not going to get what you want because YOUR STATE IS BANKRUPT!

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 Negotiating is a right, it's called freedom of speech.

You would have the right to negotiate smoking in a gun powder factory. It doesn't mean you would get what you want.

[yakyakyak69]

@PubliusNumber9 Again, you have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm wasting my time arguing with an idiot. Now i't time for dinner.

[yakyakyak69]

@PubliusNumber9

Negotiating your work conditions is NOT a right. Accepting or rejecting the job is a right because slavery is against the law and you can "persue happiness" somewhere else if you don't like the job.

Would it be OK to negotiate smoking in a gun powder factory if that made enough of you collectivist workers happy? HELL NO, because stupidity is a CHOICE, not a right.

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 I understand the difference perfectly. Please, try to check your facts before you state them as such. You are not forced to join a union in Wisconsin, and not all places of employment have a union, and some have union and non-union workers. They only thing you may be forced to do is pay the union dues, but that's excusable since the worker benefits from the union's negotiating.

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 No one's begging, and again as I've said many times I've never been in a union. I'm helping out my neighbors and my community, because I want a better city, state, and country.

I said that negotiating your work conditions is a right. If I pursue happiness at work I will negotiate to get what I need to be happy upon hiring and for any extensions. If I can't get what I need I may leave if I can afford to. We don't want our good teachers going to states where they have their rights.

[yakyakyak69]

@PubliusNumber9 said: "You have the right and the option, if you live in Wisconsin to join a union."

WOW! just WOW!

Lady, Wisconsin is a FORCED-UNIONISM state and NOT a Right-to-Work State!

Do you understand the difference? Are you lying, uninformed, stupid or just think everyone ELSE is stupid?

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 These aren't "liberals" as you say. They are regular ever day working people. They are your school teachers, firefighters, street workers, snow plow drivers, etc. They make our lives tick.

[yakyakyak69]

@PubliusNumber9 You beg a LOT, don't you?

You have the right to LIFE (even before birth), LIBERTY to keep what you earn and live how you please, and the freedom to PERSUE HAPPINESS (not guranteed attainment or the freedom to steal it from others.)

Work is NOT a right! You MUST qualify and then do your job. That means that work is a priviledge and the privilege of neotiating compensation goes along with your INDIVIDUAL qualifications, work ethic and desire to do the job & KEEP doing it.

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 Yes, but most people try negotiating first.

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 You have the right and the option, if you live in Wisconsin to join a union. No one is forcing you to do the job you do or to be self-employed. What we're talking about here is that right being taken away for a large portion of the citizens of Wisconsin.

Governments didn't always recognize the right to unionize. People fought hard, gave their sweat, blood, and some of their lives to get this right for themselves and their children. What happens if you must take a gov. job?

[yakyakyak69]

@PubliusNumber9

If you don't like the job... GET ANOTHER ONE! (entitlement whiner)

[yakyakyak69]

@PubliusNumber9 There you go again! What's with liberals thinking they know EVERYTHING so they what's best for others.

I'm a sales consultant & service rep. MUST service my clients WHERE they are and WHEN they call me 24/7/365. I do have the choice to tell the to screw themselves, but I will lose that client forever and my valuable reputation for doing what I say I will do like SHOW UP FOR WORK.

I'm straight commission! No salary, NO overtime, NO benefits, No collective extortion. 

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 I beg to differ.

How is negotiating your work conditions a privilege?

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 You can set your own hours as we established before, but most people can't.

They can force overtime, that's not fun if you have a family to take care of or another job so you can pay the bills. Overtime is far cheaper than hiring new employees.

Look up the phrase ad hominem sometime.

[yakyakyak69]

@PubliusNumber9

Lady, you don't even know the difference between rights & privaledges.  Give it a rest already. Go take another pill or something.

[yakyakyak69]

@PubliusNumber9 I can do NONE of those things. I have to work when I can for as long as it takes to get the job done.

7 day work week? Are you slaves or just stupid? Hello... competition

There are FEDERAL laws against 7 day work weeks and ANY work over 40 hours gets extra pay by federal law and the state will hire MORE people rather than pay time & 1/2 for overtime. Lady, stop drinking the cool aid! You've had enough already... (sheesh)

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 This is Wisconsin. As I said before, since you seem to want to post this all over, our polls have shown Wisconsites lean much more heavily in favor of our rights.

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 Correct, but you forgot other things like the ability to collectively bargain work conditions, number of hours, and other rights that we in Wisconsin fought for.

This is Wisconsin, not the entire nation. Our polls have been leaning much further the other way.

Remember to thank Wisconsin when it comes Friday, because we gave you and everyone else in the US the weekend, and if this bill passes there's nothing stopping Walker from making state workers work 7 days a week.

Google: Rasmussen poll shows Walker winning standoff with unions, posted at 11:36 am on February 21, 2011 by Ed Morrissey

[yakyakyak69]

@PubliusNumber9 The republicans are NOT voting for "union busting".

Collective bargaining would STILL be allowed for wages.

Collective bargaining would NOT be allowed for benefits only!.

Personally, I think tenure is insain as it only protects bad teachers.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters agree more with the Republican governor 38% agree more with the unionized public employees, while 14% are undecided.

Union leeches are dying

[PubliusNumber9]

@yakyakyak69 No one, or very few voted for union busting, and that has been shown in polls and will prove out in time. The Republicans refused and continue to refuse to debate as they have said now multiple times. The only thing that can be done is to stand up for the rights of Wisconsin workers, and those across US.

We all know the healthcare debate lasted at least a year, it was all over the TV.

The private sector generally doesn't require a note. I've never needed a note to call in sick.
