Scott Walker - union buster

[imreallyperplexed]

Apparently, Scott Walker was taped telling a well-helled donor that he was following a divide and conquer strategy of destroying public unions before going after private sector unions in Wisconsin. If that is really what Walker wants to do, that's fine. But apparently, he also lied about his true intentions and publicly argued that he respected unions.

OMG what a catch !!!!! Watch as the Wingers try to spin & dodge, anything but accept the reality of what Walker is really doing to working Americans for the FEW Rich [Unwelcome language removed] that own him.

Thank you IRP for bringing this to all of us to see.

Citizen.

I hope Walker is successful. The sooner we bust all the Public Sector Unions, the sooner we stop the insane squandering of money on lazy shiftless no-accounts and thugs.

Right to work states have higher economic growth rates and lower unemployment rates (on average) than union states do. We should be a "right to work" country...

They also have much lower pay.

Ohio is not a RTW state and we are tops in new jobs creation! And guess what is fueling that?

Something that Obama did?

Yes! One smart poster there! )

If I may add the Unions are doing just fine,now that they have smart management,who share with the workers some of the profit they made. The dead head CEO's are gone.

That's econ 101. Higher taxes, lower income. Higher wages, fewer jobs. More regulations, less commerce. Yet you guys stick to all the bad policy...

I had some involvement with the IBEW Union back in the early 2000's. Some of the guys they sent to my jobs told me they would typically have 10-12 W2 forms a year when they filed their taxes. They rarely worked 40 hours a week and spent an inordinate amount of time on the bench waiting to be assigned a job. The Unions have a hard time keeping their workers actually employed.

And when they are not working they have to go out to non-union companies and try to infiltrate them in attempt to turn them union so they can have work.

Because you have an American Governor.

This was set in place long before Kasich won by 2%. Old Gaffer gave you the answer.You choose to ignore it.

I can see with my own eyes what is happening in this area. Republicans are so busy suing each other trying to redo bills they passed because the voters soundly rejected their Union busting bill.They are fighting like cats and dogs over everything.It is a funny sigh to see,I thought only Dems did that!

All of this is a result of what Obama did,and do not forget Bush started the bailout.He was scare s****** that the economy was going down the drain after his mismanagement and allowing the neocons to run his office.

GM cleaned out the corrupt management and installed good ones who are sharing with Employees what they work so hard to provide.When the workers start getting half of their yearly pay in bonuses that is a very good sign. If you bothered to read the DDN article you would see it is a resurgence of Government policy,along with the private sector working together.

In other words the losses of the last 10 years are being reversed,thanks to having a smart man in the White House once again,instead of the cowardly bully from Texas,who,as usual left a mountain of debt behind and 2 wars off budget.

It doesn't matter to me what they do up in Cheese Country. If the Unions control the state the economy of other states will benefit as employers will find the cost of doing business there unsustainable and relocate elsewhere

NO Shixt....we might actually get some work done that doesn't cost two arms and a torso.

Are there more or less auto manufacturing jobs in Ohio now than in 2007? My guess is that there's fewer now, because the whole restructuring forced a downsizing in the auto plants. Pennsylvania is doing about as well as Ohio and we don't have much of an auto manufacturing sector. Our growth is in the areas of agriculture and energy production (specifically shale gas production) - and I bet that's where most of your NEW jobs are coming from too.

Liberals don't do Math very well. I have noticed in almost every conversation that strays into formulaic application ends rather abruptly. Math doesn't lie and it doesn't do political agenda. At least Tartuffe, Ducadmo and some of the other self righteous lefty-loons over on BOTF could do Math....it was wrong of course....but at least they had the process right. These guys are totally unarmed over here in the analysis department. Frightening really.

 

[justoffal]

Like many other things that were originally instituted to stem abuse, Unions had a real purpose when they were originally organized. Now they have become a symbol of the lowest common denominator and the call word for bloated economics.

Correction. That's not Econ 101. That is Lukey's fantasy version of Econ 101. (degsme has demonstrated this many times with you Lukey.)

The policy that you support is supported by hot air rather than results or evidence.

That's econ 101. Higher taxes, lower income. Higher wages, fewer jobs. More regulations, less commerce. Yet you guys stick to all the bad policy...
