That was then. Now it's "do what your donors (the public employee's unions) tell you".

But you also said that you left the employ of the state to seek employment in the private sector with a firm the compensated you appropriately. I gathered that you meant that you were more highly compensated by your succeeding employer.

So, I never had the chance to vote.
Again, what I said was that I quickly saw the dead end career path, so opted out. If the union bullshit hadn't been involved, I may have stayed.

Bump again for the libtards, too afraid to answer this question:
Why shouldn't I have had the option not to join the union in the first place?

You do have the option.
When you're performing your due diligence on the company before the job interview and you see that joining is mandatory, you take a pass.
The company is holding the cards and if you want to work for them, you play by their rules.
Alternatively, you take the job, join the union, and then work from the inside to get rid of it.
The company is holding the cards and if you want to work for them, you play by their rules.???
What a fuckin' spin job load of crap....the company is holding the cards and you play by their rules....?
What kind of fools do you take us for?
We are NOT by any measure as fuckin' ignorant as you.
Its not the company rules....
do you seriously imagine the company demanded you join a union to work for them....?????

That's not an option, If I wanted to work for the State I had to join the union.

but, if you see that joining isn't mandatory and you won't be able to collectively bargain for benefits and copay you don't just take a pass, you demonstrate in Madison?.....yes, I understand your position now.....

What an idiot you are. You jeer at Taichi for mentioning chronology when it's clear you just jumped on my post without reading what came before.
DY and yurt both said they HAD to join the union. So if you think I'm spinning a load of crap, take it up with them.

"I don't know his particular circumstances, but when I choose a job with the State I was forced to join their union. Why not give workers the choice to work where they want and select the union option or not?"
Post 81:
"What I care about is a guy like me who outperforms his peers yet can't negotiate a better pay package because of the union."
Post 87:
"True, which is where I went after bumping heads with the union. But that's not the issue. Why shouldn't I have had the option not to join the union in the first place?"

"if i wanted the job, i had to join the union and they took my money and likely spent it on causes i don't agree with."

Which is exactly what I said. The job was conditional on joining the union. You took it until you were financially able to move on.

I suggest you worry more about the Koch brothers pulling Walker's strings than the demonstrators against him.

In other words, if I wanted a job working for the State, I had no choice but to pay union dues.

it wasn't the Kock brothers pulling strings, it was voters pulling levers last November......if they don't like it the voters can pull different levers next election.....in the meantime, perhaps they should have a chance to see the results of the last election.....

Guess who is behind much of what is going on in Wisconsin?
It turns out that billionaire tea party tycoons, the Koch brothers, have been financing Wisconsin's anti-union governor. Probably no surprise here.
The billionaires oil tyconns' political action committee gave Governor Scott Walker (Republican) roughly $100,000 in campaign contributions during the 2010 elections, according to campaign finance records.
Meanwhile, tea party members are forming two exploratory committees to recall two of the Wisconsin Democrats that fled the state on Thursday to protest the vote on the certain-to-pass bill, which will drastically cut state worker benefits and eliminate union bargaining rights.
Following today's protests, the tea party group Northwood Patriots said it will meet Sunday to discuss the recall of state Senator Jim Holperin, while a separate group in Kenosha, called the Robert Wirch Exploratory Committee said it is looking into recalling state Senator Robert Wirch.
According to Madison's The Capital Times, a recall effort would require the exploratory committees to collect 15,000 to 20,000 petition signatures.
"[Wirch] needs to get back on the job," Dan Hunt, a self-proclaimed tea party member told The Capitol Times. "This has angered a lot of us. What you see in the capitol is just a bunch of out-of-state people being paid by the unions."
Just to clarify what the Koch brothers are doing here, their front group Americans for Prosperity produced a website called standwithwalker.com, which encourages people to support elimination of labor union rights.
