Teachers Union Greedy Thugs?

I worked in the private sector. Our employer has to make a profit for us to work and prosper. Because of the Obama failing economy my union made concessions in wages and benefits and pension in order for the company to survive so that we can work another day.
Teacher's Unions do not understand the concept of shared sacrifice. They need to be made to learn. Gov. Christie is the man to do it. Now, don't you regret your ignorance on this subject, laughing boy? |

I guess you missed the near riots in Wisconsin and NJ and other states over teacher's union and other public union demands. As usual, you don't know what you're talking about. I am a former member of the Teamster's Union, to be precise and, like I said, we work in the private sector. It's a whole other world than the public sector, and if you don't see it, you're ignorant of the reality.

I guess YOU missed the fact that the teacher's unions in Wisconsin AGREED to the Governor's requests/demands for givebacks and he took away their bargaining powers ANYWAY.
That told me it was about power, not fiscal sanity. |

I wasn't totally against them, by the way, but it was only when the dice were thrown and they saw defeat at hand that they began to want to talk. |

Public employee unions shouldn't have the right to collective bargain against the tax payers who foot the bill in the first place, not to mention the mandatory union dues that are also paid by the tax payers that go into democratic coffers and union boss's pockets. It's nothing more than money laundering for the democrats. It's yet another tax payer rip off.

Union Dues Are Deducted

Police do not have collective bargaining, at least in TN. But none the less, it's a stupid argument. No public employee and I mean no public employee on the taxpayers payroll should have collective bargaining.
I have much respect for the police though, unless of course they are overweight. I don't like people who are entitled and lazy. Thin police though, they are great! btw, Yes Union Dues Are Deducted... from their paycheck which comes from the tax payers. Just keeping it real. |

Public employees have to feel the pain like the rest of the country, who pay for their salaries and perks for your information, and that includes private union members also. You still won't address the difference in the private and public sectors because you know you're wrong and don't have a leg to stand on. |

The Federal government allows unions for Federal employees. There is the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), and others.
The bargaining is not over wages - although union reps do sit in on locality pay talks - but the main reason for the unions is to ensure proper enforcement of merit promotion, selection for positions, disciplinary procedures, and items like that. Everyone in Federal government (General Schedule positions) gets the same base pay for their grade level. Wage grade positions (blue collar) are locality based and matched with equal jobs in the private sector. This is accomplished through wage surveys in different locales of the country. |
