Is Wisconsin a vicotry for unions

[Mott the Hoople]

An interesting article. I obvioulsy agree with the author. I think the political blow back for the GOP is going to make the blow back on UHC reform look tepid and mild by comparison.

I think this is turning into something even Rove didn't foresee!

I will read it in a minute... but first... if the Reps handle this correctly, it will not be an issue at all.

As I stated on another thread... all they have to do is point to the facts.

Many other states do not allow public unions to bargain on wages and bene's. Those states are not seeing the public union workers being subjected to slavery or harsh working conditions etc...

Those states ARE able to freeze pay during hard economic times (just like a certain President of the United States was able to do) whereas that was impossible in WI.

The ad campaign succeeded in stymieing union/Democratic Party efforts to pass a law, the Employee Free Choice Act, which would have facilitated union organizing by making majority sign-up -- "card check" -- an alternative path toward rapid union certification. That would have bypassed the lengthy, employer-dominated election process during which workers frequently come under sustained and intense management pressure to vote against unionization.

First, the 'Employee Free Choice Act' is poorly named as it takes AWAY the RIGHTS of workers to have a secret ballot. Taking away that right allows unions to know who votes for and against the union via providing their signatures. It is a bullying tactic the union wants to try and force workers to accept union representation.

The 'secret ballots are employer dominated' portion is a friggin joke.

The near-spontaneous demonstrations which have erupted in so many states are a good indication that many rank-and-file unionists enthusiastically back their own labor leadership.

ROFLMAO.... yeah... right... spontaneous? This guy is insanely hackish. No wonder Mott likes the article.
