"States with teacher's unions far outperform those that do not have one."
Outperform them doing what?
Collecting dues to support Dem political campaigns?
But I thought it was against the law for a union to use its dues to support campaigns of political candidates and instead must be done through a separate fund that is voluntarily given to. Or do laws pertaining to that vary from state to state?
The unions will not win this battle -- they are just wasting employee dues -- money they should be saving to help the Obama campaign next November. But union dues will just keep coming. Also, the Packers will not win the Super Bowl.
Sucks to be a Democrat in Wisconsin.
So the law in Wisconsin allows unions to collect dues from worker paychecks and give them to political campaigns? Doing that is against the law in some places. So please know what you're talking about. However, perhaps state and federal laws differ. Maybe someone else knows.
Scott Walker is running an ad in which a school board member tells how much he has helped her district. The survey of Wisconsin School District Administrators paints a much different picture:

Not anymore. The unions had the state collecting dues for them, but that stopped once Walker's reforms went into effect, basically busting the WI public sector unions. And guess what? When given a CHOICE, teachers have opted NOT to pay dues anymore.

You mean the labor unions want to maintain their current corrupt power? Who would have thought it? Walker's plans are working, anyone who denies that doesn't want them to work because it proves them wrong.
Tens of thousands gathered Saturday at the state Capitol in support of the ongoing effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker.
Quote:
State Department of Administration officials estimate 25,000 to 30,000 people filled the square, marching through the cold drizzle, holding signs and chanting seemingly every possible derivation of "Recall Walker."

Recall Walker PAC formed officially on Friday. United Wisconsin has been in place since Tuesday and has collected 105,000 signatures.
Wow. I think that they have lost thier previous recall efforts. Good luck with this one.
Liberals just don't seem to understand that people are tired of paying for all the freebies that they want.
The bucket is empty. The nation and the states are broke. If you want these people to get more money, open up your wallet and contribute. If you do not fork over any cash, you are nothing but a liberal hypocrite who is simply interested in spending other people's money, but not your own.
Want to confuse a liberal? Ask them to pay (even a small amount) for the things they want. They will turn and run.

The union dues are automatically deducted from the state employee paychecks and deposited in the union's bank account.
This is why people don't like a lot of the so called stimulus bills coming from the federal government. These billions of taxpayer dollars, that 0bama gives to states, are used to maintain the bloated salaries and rosters of state employee union members, is it keeps the union money rolling into the democratic party coffers.

Our children deserve a quality education from us! This is what Walker directly attacked. Walker also failed WI concerning the jobs that he promised to bring to WI.
The district saved about $1 million with the tools, not even half of the $2.1 million lost to state budget cuts.
The district closed the gap with extra concessions from administrators and teachers, including shrinking budgeted wage increases.
Walker’s tools saved the La Crosse schools $3.8 million. But a combination of state aid cuts and revenue caps cost it $4.8 million.
