I was born into a family of taxpayers; I have grown up as a taxpayer. I will, no doubt, die a taxpayer.
While government employees are obviously fellow taxpayers, the ones represented by public employee unions will, by the time I have passed, consumed far more of my hard earned money than any individual should ever have had a right to take.
Wisconsin is finally on course to make honest workers of all us. It’s long overdue and most government employees know it.
I’ve heard these talking points before. Got anything new/interesting?
I demand to see your birth certificate, because I don’t believe you were born. I believe you were dropped here by aliens from the planet Asshole.
Unions have fostered a mentality of entitlement, laziness and the end of accountability. I once was a union man, turned away when i realized the leaders of the union cared solely about collecting dues and nothing about working conditions. I worked as a lineman for the electric company and gave it up because I feared for my life daily from the union protected morons that were too many of my co-workers.
TBag, yes, because there’s nothing like a private sector workplace to foster excellence. Thank all that is good that we have private sector employers to constantly improve ‘working conditions’ for us. They have such a history of moving the American worker forward, every day. Let’s never forget that.
I know plenty of lazy, entitled private sector workers.
For all we know you got fired from your job for daydreaming about your wife all day long.
I think he got fired because he he just couldn’t cut the mustard.
Here’s a question for all of you Oh-My-God-FINALLY-Those-Unions-Are-Gone-And-Soon-So-Will-The-Incompetents:
Really? Do you really think that? Do you think all the supervisors who have been saying variations on “I can’t discipline/fire/change in any way the problem employee because the union has tied my hands” are going to suddenly clean house?
Why?
When public sector workplaces become private sector workplaces, they will become…
private sector workplaces. With pecking orders, political maneuvering, people not getting paid what they’re worth, people being rewarded when they shouldn’t, and of course, supervisors who are human and who might be inclined to hide behind easy excuses.
You know, just like public sector workplaces.
People who are gleefully awaiting the fine, fine day when public employees finally get theirs are going to be disappointed. Public sector workplaces are like any other. As likely as not undeserving employees will survive, it’s what they do in any workplace.
This whole idea that taking away protections will allow the cream to rise to the top is laughable. If it doesn’t happen in the private sector, why will it suddenly happen in the public sector?
