Why is being in a union so important to a government worker ? After all, why would they need the protection of a union against the government ?
I've asked this over and over and no one wants to go there.
Why are government workers so afraid of the government that they need a union ?
This is like an oxymoron.."government union".

Excellent point.  Government Union is an oxymoron!

The teachers already are compromising to something that doesn't benefit then. They are willing to give Walker most of what he wants, including for paying for more of their health benefits which would reduce their take home pay by 8%. Walker won't accept anything other than everything that he wants. It seems like its the teachers are the ones who understand how compromise works, and Walker doesn't.

The ones that call in sick and show up to protest are corrupt.
They are also thieves if they accept a paycheck for those days.
The ones that got fake doctors notes should be jailed for fraud.
They should also be fired and banned form future employment by the State of Wisconsin.

He's shown his hand, and the Dems decided to take their ball and go home. Cry babies.

I'm hoping later... after people start losing their jobs, and not necessarily the teachers. These people will remember this at the next election.
