Rabbi, these public sector folks are workers, and we all know that any place where one has a supervisor, bullying and intimidation can take place.
There needs to be, to coin a phrase, checks and balances....contracts. This implies bargaining.
Coolidge and Reagan pretty much obviated strikes...
there must be some kind of middle ground.
In NY we have a Taylor Law which prevents strikes, and the next problem is how to limit the kind of contributions to public officials that put us into these straits.
Remember this:
SEIU President Andy Stern: We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama- $60.7 million, to be exact- and were proud of it.
Its simply amazing.
Unions are what gave you the rights to file a complaint against your employer.
Unions are what gave you the right to have a livable wage, instead of the "free market" give you only a nickel a day. Because their is no such thing as a free market because they don't want to pay anybody but take all their money.
Seriously decertifying unions give workers absolutely no rights, minimum wage eliminated, our toddlers working in sweat shops once again and no clean working environments.
I know you Republicans want to destroy America and turn it into a third world country, but lets not make it so obvious.
Did you see post #11?
Kind of obviates your post, doesn't it.
If people really wanted to join unions, unions would not have lobbied DC to pass the awful Card Check Bill which would eliminate secret ballots for union elections.
