Being married I had to work while completing my college studies. Living in New York I was forced to join two separate unions in order to work. What I discovered was that these unions blocked productivity and irrespective of how hard or well a person worked they were all paid about the same. The issue of unions today is about votes. it is why Obama via his Organization for America sent protesters to Wisconsin. New York city can't afford the grip unions have on it. American Auto Mfg can't compete with the grip the UAW has on them. The recent right to form a union among the ranks of the TSA will harm security. It goes on and on. This quid pro quo between politicians and unions is bankrupting state after state and I for one want the governor to win in wisconsin. By the way not only should the teachers be fired so should those Democrat pols who fled Wisconsin. I hope the Governor at least stopped their pay and explained to them while their away their per diem stops also.
