Perhaps much closer attention should be paid to the contracts of these people.
I am sure there are plenty of unemployed citizens and undocumented workers who would love to have one of those jobs, and at far less taxpayer money than continues to be coerced from the ones who pay the freight.
In your self righteous indignation you are missing the point.
Boycott all you want, it wont make any difference.
Accept your fate and move on.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
IMO, it's foolish to describe protests and boycotts as "temper tantrums" and is insulting to ALL the citizens of this country to do so.
In the case of the greedy selfish public employee unions, who are always demanding more and more of the taxpayers' money through the threat of those taxpayers losing their homes, it IS another greedy temper tantrum.
Let them cry about it all they want. I would gladly support these businesses. Sore losers is an understatement.
Good for Gov Walker for standing up for the tax payers, and not the union tugs. Someone had to do it. Our useless Gov was voted in by the thugs and it is clear that she has their backs and not ours.
at the ballot box. The taxpayers peacefully resisted union thug racketeers by electing a set of representatives that would effectively shut down the democrat ponzi scheme being foisted upon them. The democrats that fled the state got punked by their own tactics. Game over.
As an interesting aside, I highly doubt any parent would want their kids taught by those whiny hippie dorks who stunk up that capital rotunda.
Hey teacher, leave those kids alone! Put down the joint, take that Grateful Dead out of your ears and go do your job and be happy you still have one!
Excellent post.

Now, this is hilarious! Where you saying the same when with the Tea Party protests? Of course not.

"self-righteous indignation"????
Yes, just "accept your fate and move on"..........so well said by those who would advocate for a compliant and subservient population. It would make things so much easier for those who wish to abuse their power, wouldn't it?
And hopefully people will not become simply complacent and will continute to exercise their right to peacefully protest and bring ATTENTION to issues like this one.
Earth to Conservadorks: "Threatening" a business means you are saying you'll do something like damage the building or rob them in some way. "Boycott" (as in what the unions are planning to do here) means that you simply avoid doing business with them some way or another...
You know what, never mind. Trying to get through to a bunch that has this disgusting vendetta against the workers of this country is like trying to teach a fish to fetch.

Care to provide some documentation for that? If you can't, apologize. The poster has only been a member since December 2010, and I don't recall any big TP rallies since then. (The TPs must not like to come out in the cold!)

"Where" I saying what?
Peaceful protesting is something I support even for the tea pary, yes. Some folks have a strange sense of humor and I fully support that diversity as well.

Good point.......they don't like the cold weather.

Well, yeah. After all, frozen teabags never did anyone any good.
