Harold Schaitberger $324,903/year salary.

Vincent Bollon $475,336/year salary.

Me: $55,000/year Salaried Full-Time Firefighter.

Pisses me off to know that my dues I pay really don't mean shit to the IAFF and go right in the Union Administration Pockets. You need a Lawyer for Arbitration...guess who pays ? We do out of our pockets. WTF is wrong with today's firefighter? The IAFF isn't looking out for us, they are lining their pockets.

unions lose......YES!!!!

What Harold is forgetting to mention is the fact that 10,000 China men could care less...

Moreover, Harold is also totally incorrect, in that this is “not” a “RIGHT WING” conspiracy... It is in fact a financial clap-down on the American economy and workers, initiated by those that believe in a new Multi-national economic monetary system.

Unwittingly, the very same political system that these people believe inn, is in fact the very thing that is being used to undermine them.!!

FOOLS.!!!!

"All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations." - President Franklin D Roosevelt

@melvin6767 Collectivism is socialism. Socialism is Mob Rule. I can't support ANY group that uses mob tactics to force higher pay for the public "service" employees than is typically found in the private sector.

Fire them all. Break the Union Comrades. Start over with those who believe in liberty from the tyranny of the mob.

@yakyakyak69 Really? you're watching Firefighters supporting labor laws, and still have that attitude. For Shame, these guys are standing with others to support fair labor practices. Firefighters put their lives at risk every day they go to work. Everyone has the right to assemble if you agree or disagree. This is democracy being demonstrated.

I don't see any minority rights being threatened here

@thegoodrevtim

Yep, democracy was hated by our founders because they understood that mob rule allows the majority to steal the rights of the manority. That's why we have a representative republican form of gov't where natural unalienable rights come from our creator and are protected by the Bill of Rights, not form the majority and not from gov't.

Rights that come from the majority or gov't become Privileges which can be taken away. All they have to do is control the schools & media.
