Yeah, but if the Republican worker is in a unionized work place in a state that doesn't have right to work, I bet that Republican worker is NOT choosing to pay union dues.

If you can make more money with better benefits, then why don't you join them, rather than oppose them?

if I was to pay my people union wages..they would take a pay cut

unions were a good thing 75 years ago...they have out lived their usefulness

btw...walker NEVER went against private unions...only the public unions that should NOT have barganing power to begin with...even FDR said that

That's like a chicken supporting KFC , or a Black guy supporting the tea party.


I am in a union no problem, it is just that it is a union in the private sector. I have never believed in public uunions at all, and never will believe in taxpayer funded unions.

also savoir, I am not trashing all unions, I am just trashing public unions.
also, since you mentioned it, i know quite a few blacks that are in the tea party. people can belong to whatever group they want as long as the group does not mind them being there.

because public unions are taxpayer funded with taxes.
also, the what you say is true, the teachers around my area not only make more, but have better medical and pensions too.
they cry about having to pay a little bit on their medical. maybe they should have to pay 35% of the premium like I have to, or more like alot of other people do.

I am a union member not by choice. I have to be in the union in order to have a job. if i quit the private union, i am let go. condition of the contract.

Governments - and unions - will do whatever they can get away with.
