End police unions?

[Hawkeye10]

Getting rid of a public union, even a police union, won't happen because these public unions are used by both political parties to force future legislatures to deal with the will of previous legislatures. This is not supposed to be done but it happens and it's convenient, for both major parties, so...nothing to see here.

Is this a bigger deal than having the unions around to help the political class deceive the citizens, which is how I noticed that it works here in Washington State?

[Hawkeye10]

I think the left is OK with eliminating police unions.

Then why is there so little talk about this? I dont recall BLM or the other anarchists demanding it for instance.

I think he got a point. The claim is that the Left wants to "defund" the police, then by logical extension, they want the police unions eliminated.

Public union contracts force the current legislatures to honor agreements made by past legislatures.

Which public unions have been used by the GOP "to force future legislatures to deal with the will of previous legislatures"?

In Michigan the MEA is a great example. The teacher's union...which should be disbanded tomorrow if I had my way.

I'm pretty sure they want to abolish the police. No police, no police union.

I've never heard that the GOP used the MEA or any education/public union to force future legislatures to deal with the will of previous legislatures".

They did. We got stuck with common core here because the GOP made it happen. We got the property tax redux here because the GOP made it happen. GOP made it happen.

Is that right?

Got any links? I'd like to read up on this.

You need a link to dot gov info?

No, I'd appreciate a link to the relevant information that details how "the GOP used the MEA to force future legislatures to deal with the will of previous legislatures", and "made Common Core and "property tax redux happen."

I checked MEA.org and they don't seem to be allied with the GOP, to put it mildly. Did I misunderstand?

It happened in every state dumbass, did you not notice?
