      Unions are a joke...let me break it down real into a simple cycle so everyone can understand.

      A large portion of Union dues go into the pockets of 'politicians' through union campaign contributions, which in turn allows the unions to 'elect' their own bosses, who then repay their cronies by agreeing to union demands.

      This creates a never ending circle of greed, selfishness and corruption, with the taxpayer footing the bill.
      It is against federal law for union dues to go toward campaign contributions. As well as against many state laws. Are you specifically talking about Wisconsin here? Or are you talking in general? Or you're talking about something completely different like actual union elections and not state public unions electing their own bosses?

      Hell, you would think Mitt Romney would know about the federal prohibition already but as late as last year he seemed to be insinuating that it wasn't the case, http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/20...contributions/
      "“We have a very unusual circumstance in this country,” Romney said, “and that is that we allow union bosses to collect dues from union members and then to use that money as the union boss sees fit to elect people who might do their bidding. It’s unseemly at best.” It's also illegal for federal elections, which is the only thing Romney would have any power over at all, but that didn't stop him from saying, "“I will pursue and hopefully enact legislation which inhibits taking money in the form of dues and putting it behind political campaigns. That should not happen.". So either he didn't know what the federal law is, or he doesn't seem to look too kindly on federalism, at least as far as unions are concerned.

          It's a fukkin joke to suggest unions are what is killing America.....They have actually done a lot of good for workers' rights and things like that over the years

          Just like anything else, it's not a perfect system, and there will always be jerkoffs that find the loopholes and take advantage

That couldn't be farther from the truth but i guess if the far right brainwashers say it enuf, a dope like u will suck it up. Verizon just laid off another thousand the other day while five guys at Verizon pulled in close to 400 million together.. U keep on dreaming about the 50 bucks an hour guy ruining the economy while those five douchebags at Verizon laugh all the way to the bank. How some of these rich assholes that game the system magically have middle class ignorant jackoff, fighting with other middle class people for their benefit, is about as stunning as it gets. Those tradesmen do just well in Germany where their CEO don't have to be the richest guys in the cemetery.
              Yes CEO's and the like make more money. That is how free market works. People work their way up the ladder and make more money. They get fired if they suck at their job. Unions protect the good and the bad workers, put in pay raises, off time, working conditions etc.. Oh and also somehow created a plan that people didn't have to pay for their healthcare or pension and can retire after 25-30 years with a percentage of their salary, for life. Ya great system. Meanwhile, union heads and other higher ups have high salaries for doing little to nothing. Well unless you call coming up with these benefits and laughing all the way to the bank a job. And they do this all while having another job. But their main job is to dump money to the democrats in each state to be able to pass all these great things they receive in return for their money and support.

              Unions are dying and it's time to face the reality. The rest of the public uses the money they have made to pay their bills as well as these great salaries and benefits of the public employees. But it's going to be cut back across the country starting with the few states that have already done it. And I am fine with making my own money and letting the free market decide what that it.

                Union goons decide which candidate to buy support and it's with your union dues that you were not given a choice to decline. Hopefully the candidate doesn't oppose every major issue you support because then it's tough titties for you.

                Gay union workers paying dues that go to politicians that strongly oppose gay marriage or even union. Female union workers paying dues that end up in the pockets of chauvinistic pigs that oppose planned parenthood. Just disgusting.

                  Its funny how people who have an education and work a desk job are being looked down upon, every blue collar hump would trade his job for a desk job in a heartbeat provided the pay was the same. Just another example of how success is frowned upon by liberals and ignoramuses who have to get dirty during their day of work, its not our fault you are a dumbfukk who cant get a thinking mans job. I know obama feeds you guys that "were not on a level playing field" shit but its simply not true. I own a small business and have an office but i dont wear a tie and we dont have cubicles, people actually work in buildings that arent offices in case you didnt know that.

                          no.. what is a fukkin joke is how dumb you would have to be to believe something like that. Stop using whatever failed education you have to form your opinions and do some real research.

                          And the underlined sentence... haha "things like that over the years."

                          so you are comparing unions from decade's ago to today... real smart kid

                            here is a crazy idea...

                            educate yourself and stop acting like livestock


                            amazing how many people don't know what "right to work" is and what it means.

                            I'm not a goverment worker. I have to pay into a Union which I have nothing to do with, I recieve no benefits from unless I want to pay more than what they are already taking and if they go on strike... I am not allowed to work. And why do I have to do this? Because a bunch of lazy parasites decided for me. They decided what was in their best interest so the union could steal more money.


                            Now that is the American way.

                              Public Employee unions have taken a stance that is directly against the taxpayers of any given state. They have also contributed, canvased and campaigned for Democrats about 90% of the time. This is not representative of a balanced approach to mediating fair wages and promoting worker's rights. I do not begrudge the unions, I have family members that are proud union workers and have been able to provide for themselves and their families due to some of the good work of the union, but we have to come to a realization that there is plenty wrong with unions today. If they do not adapt, and continue to make themselves an easy target by being partisan and continuing to prod hot button issues, like immigration , they will fade into obscurity.

                                But back to the topic, the man had a right to counter-protest, and it is disgusting that anyone would promote him being arrested or beaten for doing so.

                                You have to be a special kind of a-hole to want to trash the Constitution just because you don't like what someone is saying.

                                Grow up, and get some thicker skins.
                                Moreover, Stop and think before you speak, you are making an ass of yourself.

As they were hauling him off they were screaming take him to jail. ... take him to jail. Morons don't realize that they may be in the minority some day and want the rights that they were so willing to take away from him.
                                  You mean for the exact reasons that unions were established in the first place?

                                  Pretty hilarious. I just flipped past Fox News and they had a big banner that said "The Era of Big Labor." In other words, "We want you to be a third world country and have no protections as a slave of the corporations."

                                    Exactly. How many corporations posted record profits this year again? None?

                                    Oh. Most Fortune 500 companies posted record profits over the past several years? GM posted record profits two years after being bailed out by the government?

                                    Hmm. I guess that defeats that theory.

                                      I love how people are attacking unions, working Americans' wages, and the rights of workers to form cooperatives to negotiate fair and safe work practices in the name of the "taxpayers." LOL. It's so blatantly obvious where you're getting your "opinions" from. Think for yourself for once. Do you people REALLY believe that this economy is the result of union labor? REALLY? Short term memory? The recession was caused by GREED at the highest levels of our economy. And now, you sheep are attempting to pass the buck to laborers since you're too stupid to know what actually caused the recession? LMAO.

                                      Lookup mortgage backed securities once. Then tell me how unions caused any of this.

                                      Get a clue, please.

                                        Are you disputing that the single largest driver of state debt is the liabilities and future liabilities to public service unions?
                                        They have not made provisions to even make those payouts without further taxpayer dollars.

                                        Pretty clear where you are getting your info.

                                          What about men ? He could have killed men who were innocent. I guess you decided to take the emotional pull and talk about dead women and children.. try and make your post sound better .... heres the point idiots like yourself are missing ... the military doesnt choose to go to war. Citizen elected politicians do. If you have a problem with war, be more active in events and politicians and vote more. Dont blame the people who risk their lives for the decisions of politicans.

                                            They have not made provisions to even make those payouts without further taxpayer dollars.

                                            Pretty clear where you are getting your info.
                                            In other words, it's the unions fault that workers get paid a competitive wage and pension and the state outspent itself without anticipating a well-known fact - that the American populace is aging?

                                            Why don't they just work for free? Then, there's no taxpayer dollars involved. Problem solved!!!

                                            Idiot.

                                              No, it is the union's fault that they have not made proper contributions to their liabilities to make them sustainable for their members. The burden falls (as it always has) onto the backs of the taxpayers, and the state's liabilities.

                                              If you were able to make bets with other people's money knowing that someone would bail you out there is a pretty good chance that you would not show any restraint or foresight.

                                              The problem is that you are too emotional, not able to see the forest for the trees.

I would say that they are the two most successful Govs. in the country right now.

                                                  There are (at least) two parties necessary to negotiate a contract. You're blaming one for spending the other's money.

                                                      "According to the US Labor Department, the destruction of the unions as been the main factor in the decline of real wages that has continued since the Reagan era. Health and safety standards in the workplace have also deteriorated: there are laws, but they're simply not enforced, so the number of industrial accidents has risen sharply in the past ten years. Then there is the effect of the decline of unions on democracy: the unions are one of the few means by which ordinary people can enter the political arena. Finally, there's a psychological effect. The destruction of the unions is part of a much more general effort to privatize aspirations, to eliminate solidarity, the sense that we're all in it together, that we care for one another."

                                                        "...the U.S. is run by an unusually class-conscious, dedicated business class that has a very violent labor history, much worse than in Europe. The attack on unions has been far more extreme here, and it has been much more successful. Also, the business propaganda has been far more successful. Anti-union propaganda has been considerably more successful here than in Europe, even among working people who would benefit [from] unions. In fact, a rather striking aspect of business propaganda in the United States is the demonization of government, starting after the Second World War.

                                                        The Second World War ended with a radicalization of the population in the United States and everywhere else, and called for all kinds of things like popular takeovers, government intervention, and worker takeovers of factories. Business propagated a tremendous propaganda offensive. The scale surprised me when I read the scholarship -- it's enormous, and it's been very effective. There were two major targets: one is unions, the other is democracy. Well, [to them] democracy means getting people to regard government as an alien force that's robbing them and oppressing them, not as their government. In a democracy it would be your government. For example, in a democracy the day when you pay your taxes, April 15, would be a day of celebration, because you're getting together to provide resources for the programs you decided on. In the United States, it's a day of mourning because this alien force -- the government -- is coming to rob you of your hard-earned money. That's the general attitude, and it's a tremendous victory for the opponents of democracy, and, of course, any privileged sector is going to hate democracy." http://chomsky.info/interviews/20091120.htm
