If Unions are so bad, why did we lobby so hard to get them in the first place?
They're in place to protect the working class from the Corporate and Rich classes.
I completely disagree with what Walker did, as the unions were willing to give him his budget cuts to maintain there bargaining rights and abilities, and he flat out rejected that. It is complete bashing of the middle class.
The law he slipped in that allows him to sell off Public Assets with out a bidding or even announcing a sale to private owners.... seriously?
Oh just a little fyi for the evil of Unions, want to tell me why the Chinese poor but working class (the class manufacturing everything we use today), has started to Unionize and are fighting for better pay, benefits etc?
Jobs have to be unionized for certain things and that is ok in my books.
I am currently take Tool Making (Tool and Die Maker/CNC Machinist/Programmer) and the jobs I qualify for are 10.75 (minimum wage) - 14$ tops in a non unionized shop.
Well if I get into a Unionized shop I automatically start at 18$ with my experience, I receive benefits, and funds are put into a pension or RRSP on my behalf.
I currently work at a shop and make 12$ an hour, as I'm told I'm not experienced "enough". Yet I can walk in to majority of the machines in that shop, turn them on, dial them and produce parts that in 1-3 cycles have already paid my wage + some on the day and I may run 20+ cycles in that day.
Whats happening across the United States is a war on the middle class to reduce budgets and deficits. At the same point in time they are reducing the taxes on the rich. If you make 10x the money of someone else you can afford giving up more percentage wise and still maintaining a better life style, or that life style more easily.
This is pure and simply greed.
