Collective Bargaining A Right, A Privilege Or Organized Crime????
Blog Editorial:
The subject of collective bargaining has become a hot topic around the nation these days. In Wisconsin the government has basically been shut down by politicians, too cowardly to face the responsibility of casting a vote, greedy union thugs, wannbe hippies looking to justify their laziness and government workers who have lived too large on the backs of other peoples productivity.
It's very hard for most of us who live in so called "right to work states" to understand that in union controlled states either you join the union or you don't get a job. It's very much like many of the totalitarian governments that have been established you didn't have to join the nazi party, the communist party, the socialist democrat party, etc you just couldn't work and make a living for your family. You didn't have to vote for the party nominee your alternative was to stay at home and not vote.
Here's the problem with the situation in Wisconsin and many other states, basically the union has sat on both sides of the bargaining table then the final approval was made by politicians that were in line for huge donations from those same unions.
That's worked until the money ran out. Now Gov. Scott Walker has said enough is enough if there is to be a future for those in Wisconsin the budget must be brought under control. Gov. Walker has become a hero to many including me as he has stood firm against the union thugs from within his state and those imported from other areas. It is reminiscent of President Reagan standing up to the air traffic controls who went on an illegal strike.
Folks the money has run out in Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, New York, California and Tennessee including Giles County.
The time has come, actually it's long past, that those elected into and appointed into leadership positions act like leaders. Cut the fat, the waste and the unnecessary and make budgets that are responsible.
I apologize for the incomplete and inaccurate posting of the first draft for this topic. I was in a hurry with people waiting on me and I hit the "post" instead of the "save" and unfortunately the draft was posted. I appreciate the one who posted the correction of my posting Minnesota instead of Wisconsin. There is no excuse but I have offered the reason for the mistake.
