yes, unions are so great. new york is doing so great isn't it? tenure is amazing isn't it?
yeah, whatever. pardon my "ignorance," but if someone's not doing their job, boom, they're gone. this whole crap about unions and "seniority" and tenure and whatnot is exactly what got my uncle in new england laid off. he was one of the top guys at his office, the smartest guy i know, boss loved him, but he was a junior. the senior, who is a 63 year old fat@&# and does nothing but show up to work whenever, drive the company car wherever, while the whole office dogs her kept her job because of unionization, seniority. or how about crappy teachers who are nearly impossible to fire unless they strangle a kid to friggin death? underperformance is so great, isn't it? i remember a similar study performed by princeton and uc berkeley who concluded the complete opposite of what richard florida did.

You smoked, bad for you.
Texas is the largest jobs creator in 2010, it's a right-to-work state

I'm here in CA and Democrats have had people put their hands so deep into our treasury that we are doomed IMO.
Brown won't touch unions who paid over 150 million for him.
We are complaining about 26 billion but have a 500 billion deficit in due retirement pensions.
Approximately 85% of the state's 235,000 employees (not including higher education employees) are unionized. As the governor noted during his $83 billion budget roll-out, over the past decade pension costs for public employees increased 2,000%.
