Before Unions, there was a small middle class. Unions gave us the 40 hour work week, overtime, equal rights, civil rights, workman's compensation, work area safety and got rid of child labor.
The GOP would love to go back to the 1890's and 80 hour work weeks, child labor, etc.
You got that right! When will people stop voting against their own intrests? The top 1 percent that holds all the wealth is loving this, they have the ever dwindling middle class fighting over the scraps, the anger should be for those who wish for us to become a plutocrasy.
The standoff in WI is NOT about the budget as Walker would have you believe. The union workers already agreed to the economic demands, what they don't agree on is to have all their rights as workers stripped. And the biggest blatant hypocrisy- Walker excluding the Police and firefighters unions from his demands simply because they were some of his biggest supporters! How can those of you agreeing with Walker abide by this blatant political manuvering? So some unions are bad but others are ok, ok enough to be exempt from Walkers assault on barganing rights??!!
Were there governors writing legislation that caused those people specifically to lose their jobs?
What the hell were we supposed to rally about on their behalf? To get rid of George W. Freaking Warmonger Fill My Rich Buddies' Pockets Bush?
Well guess what? WE DID THAT! We went out EN MASSE and kicked the Republicans and their asinine policies that created the near-Depression and the massive bleeding of jobs, to the curb.
Now you people are back and you just want to make it worse.
IN-CREDIBLE!
We are witnessing the meltdown of the union fat cats. The taxpayer are taking back the public employee jobs from the unions and they simply don't know what to do. After years of Dem handouts they don't know how to respond to , no.
Unions should be abolished. They were really good yrs back but now they are selfish & greedy. Where i live the yucaipa valley water district employees are unionized & just got a raise after belly aching like pimple faced kids. No wonder our water & sewer rates are high. GREEDY RATS !

The Tea Party IS the American worker. Your priorities are all screwed up.

Aren't most of the tea party over 45? Hardly THE American worker.
