The Chicago and Communist Union way. Legislative democratic process be damned if the bullies do not get their way.
Obama is on the side of the Communist Unions. He has drawn the line and is clearly the enemy within as Obama encourages anti-government protests within the individual states.
Impeach Obama now!
Anybody know exactly what is involved with the impeachment process? Cause I think we're heading there with this guy.
Yes, and you see Obama go on camera, admit he knows little about the details of the matter, but still say it's an assault on the unions!
Of course, he also knew no details about the cop that asked his friend to show some ID and then went out in public and still said the cops behaved stupidly.
hussein obama NEVER knows the details of anything before he opens his stupid mouth.
"THUG" politics?
Is this ruling from the WH, states sovereignty ignored too.
Governors do "The Peoples" bidding, what is best for their state budget?
Shouldn't tax payers have "control" of the way the money is spent? Thus the Tea Party is developed hmmmmm.
I pay for my health insurance, quite a bit monthly and the remainder is supplemented by my employer, the NEA needs to stop being greedy and get in step with high costs like the rest of the working class have. They ARE a big part of the problem!
It's not about "fairness". It's about what people are able to negotiate with their employers. Those who have "collective bargaining power" tend to end up with better benefits than those who don't. Rather than complaining that it's not fair for them to get better benefits than you, and therefore their benefits should be reduced, perhaps you should be complaining (or perhaps organizing) to get better benefits for yourself and your colleagues.
That said, I don't agree that everything a union tries to squeeze out of a corporation should be given over to them, and I do agree that it's not unreasonable to ask union members to contribute more towards their health insurance premiums (note I didn't say anything about "fairness", but "reasonableness").
But this strike isn't just about specific benefits, but about the governor attempting to squash the abilities of the unions to negotiate, essentially destroying the unions as a whole. I don't always support the issues some unions strike over (I have crossed picket lines to do my business when I believe they're in the wrong), but on this one, I'm behind them.
I have heard that the Gov. tried to negotiate but. the uion will not do so.
I also heard in Wisc. the teachers pay 0, nada, zilch toward their health care. they also have no deductible to pay.
The gov. has asked that they pay, I think 1 to 2 % of their health care and the union refuses.
I find that very unacceptible. The state is broke. Everyone has to take up some slack.
The November elections were all about getting our financial houses back in shape.
Now that this is happening the Dems run scared..literally RUN scared.
Obama should be asking those WI Dems to return and do their jobs to the best of their abilities, not aiding and abetting an illegal strike by teachers.

Not only that, but they pay less than half a percent towards their pension. As I've said a couple times today, Walker's reforms would still require teachers and state workers to pay much less than the average private sector employee.
