Ever really paid any attention to what Collective Bargaining is?
Do you work an eight hour day, get time and a half for working more than eight hours a day?
Do you get paid Holidays off?
Vacation time?
Sick days?
If you said yes to any one of these questions and proclaim to hate unions, you can take a giant suck out of my ass.
Ever heard of Prevailing Wage jobs?
That would be because of the Davis Bacon Act.
Morons.
Google it.
This Bullshit in Wisconsin is nothing more than Class warfare and they want you working peons to bend your knees and take whatever they want to give you for wages and give up all the benefits that our Forefathers fought and bled for, trying to make a fucking living in shit hole factories.
I have lived in a Union Household my entire life. I have walked picket lines in freezing rain and stopped to give a box of donuts to strikers doing the same damn thing.
If you think unions are bad for this country then I would ask you to go to work for minimum wage, with no benefits and kiss my motherfucking ass.
You have absolutely no fucking idea what Union people have fought and died for so you can have a three day weekend called Labor Day.
Choke on a hot dog you ignorant fuck.
For you of the Tea Bagger persuasion, notice this crowd is in Wisconsin and it is really cold there this time of year. Notice also, some folks from New Jersey decided to stop by and offer their support.
By the way, that 365 billion dollar shortfall he keeps crying about is actually 165 million and if he wasn't such a fucking Republican cunt, he could raise the taxes by 0.05 % and have a surplus.
Class warfare babies.
This is what you get when you vote for any God Damn Republican these days. If you haven't been paying attention, they have already won the Class war and you are now collateral damage.

The Davis–Bacon Act of 1931 is a United States federal law which established the requirement for paying prevailing wages on public works projects. All federal government construction contracts, and most contracts for federally assisted construction over $2,000, must include provisions for paying workers on-site no less than the locally prevailing wages and benefits paid on similar projects.
The act is named after its sponsors, James J. Davis, a Senator from Pennsylvania and a former Secretary of Labor under three presidents, and Representative Robert L. Bacon of Long Island, New York. The Davis-Bacon act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Herbert Hoover on March 3, 1931.[1]

Nobody knows union history. The schools don't teach it,and the powers that be don't want kids to learn it.
ReplyDeleteDid my time in the trenches.
Child Labor Laws, 8 hour days, Weekends off, Holidays off, Equal Opportunity, Safe Work Place, etc. all come from Union Negotiations
ReplyDeleteaint a problem if it is consentual dood
ReplyDeleteps -- love that the text that i have to type to prove that i'm a real person and not a bot spammer is.... are ya ready for it....
hookers
I'm not too sympathetic to their plight. The state is bankrupt. Where will the money come from?
ReplyDeleteIf the state is abusing these people, then how can the state be the protector of the rest of us?
Lay off the booze.Silly Bastard. You forgot about the Republicans winning didn't you? The times are a changing.Democrats are going to get a rude awakeing in 2012.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait until 2012,President Palin will know how to deal with spoiled teachers, she'll fire them just like good old Ronald Reagan fired the air traffic controllers back in the day.
Working class Americans are fed up with lazy entitlement types,got a job yet? 51years old and ready to retire, you haven't worked enough yet to retire.Typical baby boomer.
"`I can hardly wait until 2012,President Palin will know how to deal with spoiled teachers, she'll fire them just like good old Ronald Reagan fired the air traffic controllers back in the day."
ReplyDeleteAnd your kids will be dumber than you are, God forbid.
Mmmmmm, unions. 8 hour work days, child labor laws, weekends off, etc.
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget paid admin leave for 10 years while the investigation drags on for that ass clown teacher who molested a student in NYC.
Where do I sign up?
I have no idea where Hastert or Foley are right this minute. If you can find me, you have the Google and you can use that to find the local branch of the RNC.
ReplyDeleteThanks fer stopping by.
A most excellent example of "How to get a repug's shorts in a twist:"
ReplyDeleteTell the truth.
Damn fine post, Busted!
I am also a life long union member. Got a forced medical retirement back in 98 when I was only 48 years old.
ReplyDeleteYep, due to on the job injury. If not for union then I would be on the street. But got retirement from civil service for 28.5 years(post office)
And my old man was one of those union men on the battle of the overpass in Detroit. He was very young, in his very first job. But he was a strong union man his entire life.(UAW against strike breakers back in the day)
not to sound anti union,which I'm not.. The REAL unions had a time and place,years ago,for safety and working conditions,hours,so on. I worked at general motors for 6 years as a contractor,so I heard lots of whining! These guys were getting stock options, 5 weeks vacation, sick days, free insurance for the entire family.... So when GM has hard times,will they cut back a little bit? Can't fire them, lay them off.... Seems some of the unions put themselves out of work. Look at japan!
ReplyDeleteTwo words Gov. Walker needs to say just as Lord Obammy said when he shoved his agenda down our throats: "I won."
ReplyDeletePs. Mr. Bustednickels, did you mean the local branch of NAMBLA?
Messrs. Busted Nickels and Jeg43- nice try. Registered independent. The saying actually goes like this: "if ya want to anger a conservative, lie to him; if ya want to anger a liberal, tell him the truth." Ie. 1-There is no mo' money, 2-Your side lost big time in the last election. "Repugs" will too in '12 if they don't slash Big gov. 3- Citizens are not going to work as Walmart greeters at age 80 to put food on the table so public sector union thugs can retire at 50.
ReplyDeleteOh yea Mr. Nickels, you must have received a stellar education from these union teachers. Newsflash: Mr. Foley was a Democrat while in congress. Since you're fond of Google , search "how Obama got elected" on Youtube and see some like-minded folks' knowledge of our political "leaders."
I belonged to the Western States Service Station Employees (WSSSE) union when I worked in a Standard Station about 40+ years ago. It was a company union and was owned by Standard Oil, but we did make about a dollar an hour more than the independent Chevron Station employees did. There weren't any health benefits in those days that I can remember.
ReplyDeleteI also worked at a Standard Oil refinery and for General Telephone back in those days. I didn't join the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers (OCAW) for the one or the Communications Workers of America (CWA) for the other, but now I wish I had.
My late father-in-law and brother-in-law were IBEW and Plumbers & Pipefitters union men, respectively, all their working lives. Ralph wired offshore oil rigs and Don built the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant and got on TV standing up for workers' rights at the front gate over who could use the bathrooms.
They both had very good lives because of their unions. The right wing wants third-world workers that will take a pittance and STFU.
This is all getting about Repugs elected. Unions give money in support of Democrats. No unions, less money to Dems, more Repugs in power until they own the U.S., one state at a time.
ReplyDeleteunions were good in their beginning. yes they bled and forced large industries to provide decent conditions and retirement. union workers are still good people who want honest wages for honest work.UNION MANAGEMENT ARE A BUNCH OF A$$HOLES. UNION MANAGEMENT DOESN'T CARE IF THE COMPANY MAKES A PROFIT OR NOT. THEY STILL WANT THEIR RAISE. WELL GUESS WHAT THE RAISE IS A LOST JOB BECAUSE WE SHUT THE DOOR!!!BANKRUPT YOU HAPPY NOW MR UNION MANAGEMENT YOUR FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND BUISSNESS NEEDS JUST COST ME AND 20 UNION MEMBERS THEIR LIVELY HOOD!! fock union management and you dumb asses who trust'em.
ReplyDeleteWow. Sorry bro can't let that one go and yell like that. Got to egimicate me one if only I can. First, Union management. Seriously, these are people within the same union that have worked the same job that get elected by there brothers to represent the union itself. Most union management listen to there own through representation within there own shop. My father was a union rep. and also a union arbitrator who first started working as a heavy equipment operator. I know for a fact that you are wrong. All union workers want there companies to be successful and to prosper. Where they feel betrayed is when profits go up and they are the engine that drives the car they would like to share in that profit. Instead the greedy bastards at top want it all. Another thing. It's not about the workers it's about greed and the fact that in todays economic climate and current trade practices that regardless of union or non-union we americans cannot compete with 2 dollar a day workers overseas.
ReplyDeleteBustedsbro
Hmmm. Isn't the Missouri state legislature considering a bill to repeal/override/ignore child labor laws? Maybe they can get far enough BACK in time that six year old children can be apprenticed out? That would certainly teach a solid work ethic to the parasitic, lazy juveniles!
ReplyDeleteIs it something in our national water supply that makes so many of our citizens vicious and stupid?
Old and tired in Carolina
Wisconson's budget crisis was caused by the governor's tax cuts for businesses; further, when the unions offered to take the pay cuts he claimed he needed if they could keep collective bargaining, he refused. This is ALL about dismantling the last viable unions so as to cut off the last major source of Democratic funding,just as the corrupt Supreme Court decision allows infinite corporate spending on behalf of their kept politicians.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second American Civil War in progress; if we, the people lose, this country will slide into third-world status within a generation or two.
Hmmm, some people are actually getting it.
ReplyDeleteDisagree Busted.
ReplyDeleteAppears folks here on the blog don't know the diff between public sector and private sector unions.
Words of wisdom from FDR (patron saint of the Left): "All government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service."
Example? We'd be in a world of doo doo if PFC Snuffy abandoned his machine gun position to walk the picket line.
Uhhhh, you missed the point numbnuts; take some viagra to raise your ruckus.
ReplyDeleteIf public servants (ie. the military) used the same arguments as the other Wisconsin greedy union public servants (ie. police, fire, teachers) are using, then we'd be screwed.
Wake the F... up and smell the coffee. There's no more friggin money pinhead. John Q. Public isn't a rich corporate bitch that can be tapped at will anymore. The middle class (who pays the taxes) isn't going to work until age 70 so these guys can retire at 50.
