Banning government unions is a no brainer. They are, after all, public servants employed by taxpayers.
The Union Slogan:
If you are lazy or incompetent you need us – we will protect you (for a slight fee called “Union Dues”.
Signed,
Richard Trumka
Communists have infiltrated every nook and cranny of this country – McCarthy was correct.
We have one hell of a task ahead of us if America is to survive. And that starts with shutting off the money. Then disbanding all of their institutions.
UNIONs = Organized Criminal Class!
Government Union = Redistribution of Wealth
Government Union = Destruction of the American Middle Class
Government Union = Outright, Unapologetic Communism
Government Union = The Neo-Imperialist Ruling Class Oppressing the Working-Class People
Government Union = Owned and Operated by the International Communist Elites to Serve Their Interests
ha ha the truth must be so hard for these union thugs to listen to…… this should be required listening for every student in America…
then maybe this union imposed nightmare might end
if unions objectives are met its just a matter of time till were all slaves
The first step in getting rid of gov't unions is to stop the automatic payroll deduction of union dues.
Many are campaigning for this in states and counties. How to win: If a gov't entity allows for any type of payroll deduction, they must allow for others as well (insurance, 401's, donations, etc). It is an "all or none" type of deal. If the entity will not allow for one's non-profit to be added it becomes an easy lawsuit to win – case law has been set on this by the Socialist Leftists. Just using their own Alinsky tactics and turning the table around.
As accurate an illustration of what is ruining America as you could hope for, but there really could have been more stress on their Marxism too.
The unions were a good thing in the 1920s. They have outlived their usefulness. Nothing more than a money laundering operation for the DNC.
And those were private sector unions. There is and never has been a good reason to have public sector unions.
Let's see…
Post Office, AMTRAK, Teachers, US Auto Industry
What do they have in common?
1. Very poor performance.
2. Always operate at a loss.
3. Always demand more money.
4. 100% UNION
Collective bargaining=Raises for all regardless of performance=America's children score 25th in the world on standardized tests=Repeated bailouts of American auto industry=Post Office $Billions in the hole=Rail travel incredibly expensive
Union Disrupts Special Olympics Event
June 9, 2011
Yesterday in Madison, Wisconsin protesters picketed Governor Scott Walker’s appearance at a Special Olympics ceremony outside the State Capitol. As the event kicked off, the University of Wisconsin marching band played and Bucky Badger danced and hammed it up with the Olympians. Interspersed throughout the crowd were dozens of pro-union protesters.
The picketers were present throughout the event, including some holding signs with questionable language. Many were dressed as zombies.

I've been railing against what has finally happened to America for the last 25 years. And here we are. I guess at times people thought I was crazy because I truly care about this great land. It was an incremental build up until they went for it all over the last two years.
Today we have a communist in the White House and Socialists and Marxists in the House, Senate, State and Local. I'm not so crazy, after-all.
This is the last shot to save America – or there won't be anymore railing against anything. It will have happened and the end has arrived.
"We now have not simply a friend, but a people's advocate in the White House," declared Webb at a recent speech in Ohio for People's Weekly World Communist newspaper. "An era of progressive change is within reach, no longer an idle dream. Just look at the new lay of the land: a friend of labor and its allies sits in the White House," Webb proclaimed.
—–Sam Webb, Chairman and Leader, COMMUNIST PARTY USA
“If I had a dollar for every time that CAPITALISM was blamed for the problems caused by GOVERNMENT, I’d be a fat filmmaker with a baseball cap.”
FINALLY! Someone is trying to explain the truth of Public Unions. I hate when people think its fine because more government spending is good for more services. Well its NOT! Government cost doubles every 8 years and services are flat since 1950. HAD ENOUGH? Support a BAN on Government Unions everywhere! Save the Republic!

Greetings from the Twin Cities. Minnesota is nice this time of year. I'm staying with Erwin Marquit in his nice little bungalow.
These are some nice thoughts about the old days and their good fight. Today is the dawn of a new day.
Thank God for Barack Obama.

Ban unions from making political donations and their power will evaporate overnight!
Whenever you hear the phrase – 'workers of the world unite' – lock and load.
Oh, good, another "New York" professor sharing his wisdom.
Here is a little balance…..

There is absolutely no need for a union for government workers.
The unions only put up a fight when it's a Republican Governor asking for concessions. Look what is happening in Ct. Not only are the union leadership not resisting, and not protesting the Governors demands for 1.6 billion $ in concessions but they have changed the voting rules to ratify from 80% to 50% after the rank and file voted the concession package down 3 weeks ago.
I'm all for getting rid of goevernment unions, and let's not forget the over compensated members of the House and Senate. Awesome health insurance and pension plans and not covered by the laws they pass to regulate everyone else. I don't care if you work at the DMV or are a sitting Senator—you shouldn't be ripping off the people you are serving
From one of my favorite King of the Hill episodes:
"You see, I recently came to realize that I, too, suffer from a disability. It's called G.W.S., Good Worker Syndrome. I get sick to my stomach unless everyone around me is giving a hundred and ten percent. The symptoms include pride, responsibility, and a feverish enthusiasm. It used to be a common condition among Americans. " – Hank Hill
from the same episode:
HANK: Mr. Harrington, you seem to have a few gaps here in your work history.
MR. HARRINGTON: Well, '33 to '45, F.D.R. was in the White House, so I was on the welfare. And in the '60s, you had Kennedy and L.B.J., so I was on the welfare. And then from '77 to '81, Jimmy Carter, so I was on the welfare.
my guess is that Mr Harrington has been "on the welfare" since '08.
Wasn't it Ted Kennedy who got public unions through or not?
DEAR mr.trumpka if you do not change you will be seen as a marxist,leninist,stalinist ,cheist,maoist , khmer rougeist ,E,D,Aminist .
and Democrap party money laundering division.
Amending the Constitution ….requiring a balanced budget with no "pork" and term limits with NO Pensions or Benefits for Congress. They serve 2 terms and go back to the private sector. The congressional staffs are "state workers" that stay there when the terms are up…..no more big machine politics in congress.
I never vote for a Libtard
Getting rid of automatic payroll deductions for taxes would take care of the rest of this mess…
When you hear it again – FIRE!
Anti-central banking = freedom for Americans.
Central banking = unions, marxism, slavery, albeit it clever sort of enslavement.
Hey,who needs a middle class……..China doesn't have unions,lets be more like them.
Good short subject. The unelected should not have power over us in the way Unions do. Arrogant power at that. Powerful types that stick it to you and break it off and laugh in your face because you can't do anything about it. The Wisconsin goons gave us that much. Full on demos of arrogant self entitlement.
China does some things better than US…. Who says;
Aug 2010; Ford announces a 490M to be built in China.
July 2011: Jeffery Immelt, CEO General electric And Obama's Jobs czar announces CFL light bulb plant to be built in China.
Can you explain why????? Thought not.
Public sector workers are, for lack of a better word leeches. All they do is keep a clumsy and moribund government bureaucracy plodding along. They constantly interfere into peoples lives, all the while, growing fatter on taxes collected from the worker who actually produces something. They have come to point where they exist for the purpose of perpetuating their own existence. They produce nothing and their unions should be abolished along with all ill conceived agencies which don't perform as intended. The civilian government work force should be reduced by two thirds by attrition, and all the government workers who are lazy and corrupt should be fired outright.
I don't have a problem with a union until they force workers to join and force them to pay dues.
My bet is that in any of the non-right to work states, nobody would be in the union if they weren't forced.
I see all the union communist American hating fools are coming to aid the Communist in Chief in hope to bankrupt America for their supreme Union thug Trumpka.
"I wonder what DiSalvo thinks of his fellow traveler Immelt closing a Wisconsin factory that has been open for 115 years and moving it to China?"
Do you mean Obama's "Job Czar" who gets taxpayer dollars and General Electric who payed no taxes that's now laying off the GE employees in favor of spending 2 Billion dollars in Communist China and employing ChiComs to do the work there instead?
Hmmm, …………. Conflict of interest?
Maybe you should take a closer look at who you attempt to decry and who you attempt to champion. You just shot yourself in the foot.
D
Hey written word literalist,China does not do anything better than us other than pay cheaper wages. And I don't mean that,cheaper wages is not a better thing. I don't know what a 490M is,is that a vehicle? I'm guessing the reason the CFL bulb is being made in China is because its cheaper to make it over there even with shipping. Remember all those manufacturing jobs that went overseas, its not because of unions,if unions were the problem then they would have been a problem in the 50's and 60's when they were larger. The problem happened when people wanted to pay $1.50 for some product instead of $2.00. We want cheap, then we have to expect to lose the local jobs that were making the products we bought. Remember when Walmart was all about Made in the USA. I guess that doesn't matter anymore. Everyone on this posting wants to destroy America. Yourself included.
Interestingly, the interview with professor DiSalvo was conducted on Russia Times, a REAL fan of capitalism, to be sure! No coincidence there, right?
Yeah and those darn employees of the government turn around and take that taxpayer money they receive as pay and buy stuff from joe public…damn fools. I suppose joe public will understand the meaning of all of this when there is less money coming his way if you get your way….
yea, but they also demand salaries that are much higher than the private sector, cadillac benefit packages that are MUCH better than the private sector, and full pensions after 20 years of employment.
Let me give you a little example, I own a small company and about 6 months ago I met with an Insurance broker to look at health insurance plans. I decided on getting a 90/10 plan with a modest deductible. The lady also offered a 100 percent plan with ZERO deductible which is referred to as a cadillac plan. The price was 2 1/2 times what I paid. (And by the way, she told me that the 90/10 plan I purchased is one of her best plans) I asked her if anyone ever purchased the cadillac plan and she informed me that only government agencies can "afford" that plan and that it was quite common at State and Federal levels because of UNION demands.
Now, because of UNION demands, the TAX PAYERS fund health insurance plans that NOBODY else in the private sector gets. And you think that is right that YOU and ME are paying for that, but we don't get it through the private sector? Do you think it is right that after 25 years, a government employee can retire and receive that cadillac plan for the rest of their lives? That is messed up!!
Give them the same plans the private sector gives with a good 401k. If they can retire after 25 years because of all the money they saved in their 401k, great, but don't give them a full pension that WE the tax payers have to pay for their rest of their lives!!
unions are killing this Country! Look what they've done to the education system, post office, auto industry, etc.
Isn't this video a lesson on how to hire your own boss?
Please wake up America, but I hope it is not already to late. God bless America.
Nothing new in this video;anyone who follows Breitbart knows all of this. This information desperately needs to be aired on MSM so that the general public can see what is happening.
This video is an excellent summary of the Public Sector unions "support system". It is a huge scam and it is foisted upon each and every taxpayer every day. It has to stop.
I'm flabbergasted………That was excellent….Full exposure…Exhibit A….In a true Constitutional "Court of Law"!!!

A TESTIMONIAL OF A FORMER UNION ‘GOON’ –
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/us/22union.html...
A Federal Right to Work Act is needed, where the workers have the right to decide if they want to join a union or not.
Interesting — so unless they are paid by the public, they won't spend money on anything FROM Joe Public? Really? THAT'S what you want us to believe? Wow, you went to public school, didn'tcha? o_O
For most of the Federal govt, there is no right to strike or walk out, example the Air Traffic Controllers that all lost their jobs.
Second the Federal Govt got out of the defined benefit pension program and now has a 401 K that the employees contribute to.. far more than what the Wisc Teachers went ape over. It is now a defined contribution program, like most private industry.
Third the Federal Govt requires workers to pay over 1/3 of the health insurance costs.
Fourth there is no dental vision or life insurance benefits for Federal Workers.
The most aggressive public employee unions are at the state, county, and local levels of govt. A fearful example is California where many workers get a defined benefit program pension based on their highest one year of earnings (they get a bigger check when retired at 55 than when they worked), many workers contribute nothing to health insurance that includes Dental, vision etc, many workers contribute nothing to their retirement accts. All this adds up to a huge unfunded pension liability that is called Cal Pers, the second largest pension fund in the world. And the most underfunded fund. If they were private they would have been seized years and years ago. But the taxpayer, thru full faith and credit, comes up with billions to make up for Cal Pers inability to cover the pension and benefits check.
And if you didnt notice Jerry Browns first act, even before he passed his phony budget, was to "negotiate" 6 new public employee contracts that were direct payoffs to the unions for their contributions and get out the vote shoe leather. And do not forget, to pay off illegal alien Nicky Diaz who sunk Meg Whitman.
Better yet, go to the fair tax.
This corruption and injustice is absolutely frustrating. Gray Davis was a complete failure with capitulation to unions and anyone would have been better. Enter the governator. Ahnold was better than Davis but was rendered completely ineffectual by the unions and it was then I understood who really ran the state.
It's way past time this tyrannical power was stripped away for the sake of California. Ahnold tried to do something, to his credit, but had his balls handed to him; making things worse in the end (if it doesn't kill the beast it makes it stronger). Ahnold was made an example and Brown is now paying fealty.
Thanks for your post.
What does these employees produce?Nothing,big old waste of taxpayers money.
For the most part, I totally disagree. I work with a lot of local and state governments. Some of those people are great at their job and provide a great service. Sure there are some dead beats, but don't try and lump them into the same "old waste" category. That is wrong and you know it!
I will take that a step further in non right-to-work states:
If you want to work at company A, you will be FORCED to join our union. Membership dues will be automatically taken from your check and placed into our account. You will have NO say on how that money is spent. Now shut up, work, and earn us more dues!!!
What do these employees produce is what i meant to say.What services are you referring to?I'd wager there unnecessary.
I live in Arizona and frequently do work with the State and the engineering division (I am not an employee. I have my own engineering firm). They have a group of engineers that oversee state construction projects, such as freeways, highways, bridges, etc. The literally analyze and keep track of condittion of existing roadways, bridges etc across the entire state and they help to allocate funds for maintenance of these items and construction of new items. Some of these construction projects are even designed by the state engineers.
Most of the engineers are VERY knowledgable and very good at what they do. There are 2 guys down there that need to be canned, but the other dozen or so are great to work with. These guys are paid WAY less than what others are paid in the private sector (I have spoken to them about it); the main reason they stay is because they enjoy the work and they have decent benefits. I have also noticed that during the past 4 years, huge cuts have been made to their division to try and cut costs.
No what I am saying is those private business owners need to be aware that government employees like teachers and other state workers spend their money in those stores/businesses. You start cutting those jobs and salaries…the less money will be spent in thoses stores/businesses.
So don't start crapping on those you earn a living from.
What does ANYTHING of what you're saying have to do with public unions and how much money they are stealing from America's coffers?? You can try spinning it all you want and taking this conversation down all the rabbit trails you want, but the fact is that the gravy train is over. We can't afford these lowlife, lazy, good-for-nothing losers.
And for what it's worth, I would prefer to spend my OWN money instead of some government goon doing it.
What I am saying is that…wait..maybe I need to type slower for you…public sector people spend their salaries at private businesses and if you go around calling those people lowlife and lazy, good-for-nothing people they may start picking and choosing who they take their business …for sure not the ones who think they are lowlife and lazy, good-for-nothing people!
Services you depend on…like roads, bridges, etc. Like to see you get to work if the bridge is out….
So we take care of the problem by taking OUR MONEY away from these lowlifes. Have you MET a government worker, especially one that is unionized? Wait — listening to you, you probably ARE one. They are THE laziest, THE scummiest, THE most attitudinal, THE most likely to do a horrible job, THE least intelligent people I've ever come across. When one's job is guaranteed and nothing they do wrong will make them lose it, there is NO REASON to do the job well. And to boot, they get paid by MY tax dollars better than most people do in the private sector. I say we start eliminating the public-sector unions, get them into the REAL world earning a REAL wage, and see how we fare as a nation. I'm game to run that risk..
"Mentally anguished"? "Distressed"? Man, I need a cush gov't job! My boss thinks it's his job to PROVIDE me with mental anguish and distress!
Fine…get rid of the Union and start paying goverment worker like teacher at least a living wage. Sure there are those that have the nice fat cat job…but for my education and training I get paid not even close to what a private sector worker would get. Maybe it is different with other government workers…but not for teachers…that I am damn sure of.
Here is the issue I have with standardized testing. I could be the best teacher in the world and have great students…or not…and on the day of the test if the kids don't give a damn…which is a major resposibiltiy of the parents…talk about failing…but I digress…if those kids say "What the hay" and give up on the test because they don't care and get a poor score…what am I to do about it? I have done everything I could to improve their scores besides fixing the answers like they did down in Atlanta. I cannot make the kids care no matter how hard I try. I can influence there attitudes, but I cannot not force them to do good on the tests if they don't care.
Parents…time to step up to the plate!!!!!
Zombies…you can never go wrong with Zombies!!
Then maybe you should have lived in Wisconsin where the teachers were getting fat-cat salaries of $100,000+ as well as Cadillac insurance. NO government worker should make in his or her industry tons more than an average private-sector worker does. EVER.
Do you mean Obama's "Job Czar" who gets taxpayer dollars and General Electric who payed no taxes that's now laying off the GE employees in favor of spending 2 Billion dollars in Communist China and employing ChiComs to do the work there instead?
Yes.
So you're too stupid to take a private sector job or too cowardly to work w/o the safety net of a workers' collective? Besides your laziness or cowardice, what makes you so special?
Maybe you spend to much time yankin' and not enough producing.
You've been watching too many beer commercials, Moron.
Not all…no…nowhere near all the WI teachers are earning $100,000. Hell there is a classroom teacherr in Illinois who teachers English who earns $600,000 + …God knows how he got that gig but it is only one. I think the mean salary for Illinois teachers is $40k.
The point is in every business…public or private…you will find those who are exceptions to the rule. Too bad the Republicans only focus on those and not the norm.
Yada, Yada, Yada….at least I am not irrelevant….
And you have been drinking too much beer………………………………
I don't know what republicans focus on because I haven't considered myself one in a long time. But what I focus on is the fact that we keep giving what we don't have to people who don't deserve it. Pure and simple.
Since when did you get the job of deciding who gets what or who is deserving? Who made you God!?
Teabagger eh?
But they will still have the power of the Vote….you cannot take that away…can you?
When I'm paying their f*cking salary and we can't afford their overbloated pay and perks, I'm more than entitled to determine they don't deserve it and need to start living like regular folk.
POS lowlife public school teacher, eh?
It makes me a jolly good fellow.
That no one has take the trouble to tell you that you are may be the best indicator that you are.
Your obvious assumption that you could insult/emotionally injure me by implying that you see me as irrelevant would require that I value your opinion of me. Only herdmentally ill collectivists concern themselves with the opinions of the rest of the hive.
One is better than the other….You needed my type to make something of yourself…I see you let your teachers down.
LOL…
Gender problems…looks like a woman on your picture.
Heh heh. I agree–looks are deceiving, though.
"Teabagger eh?"

Another difference between US and Canada. No matter how bad our economy was during the 90's, No one in the media had ever blamed our civil servants for our problems.
Brown shirted socialist with white collars, nice look bahahahahaha
I have 5 words for them…..We are out of money……sorrry
Every time politicians on either side want to waste money on ridiculous welfare programs they start talking about bridges and roads,I'm not buying it.Privatize the work on roads and bridges or let em fall to pieces for all I care.
