People of Wisconsin win: SC upholds anti union law

[StevenC]

I wanna know how busting the unions is good for the people?

Who is busting unions? I don't see anything about the right to unionize being banned.

Actually, YOU might want to do the checking...

Your opinion is not fact....

Good decision...

Sue-Me did overstep her authority...

Indeed and now to get it enforced:

Althouse: Does Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug La Follette have the power to delay publication of the collective-bargaining law until June 28th?

June 15, 2011
Does Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug La Follette have the power to delay publication of the collective-bargaining law until June 28th?

"La Follette said he had consulted with his own attorney as well as his own staff to make sure he followed proper procedure. The problem, La Follette said, is there is no procedure for what happened on Tuesday when the Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision, reinstated the collective-bargaining law that was passed in the Legislature."​

Incredible. How is it possible for this man to have the power to prevent a law from going into effect?

Labor unions had their time and place- they are like rotary phones and commodore 64's - obsolete. Public sector unions are an abomination. Even FDR was opposed to them

"The process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service," President Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote in 1937 to the head of the National Federation of Federal Employees. In the private sector, organized employees and the employer meet across the bargaining table as (theoretical) equals. But in the public sector, said FDR, "the employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress." Allowing public-employee unions to engage in collective bargaining would mean opening the door to the manipulation of government policy by a privileged private interest.

FDR was right. Collective bargaining has no place in the public sector. It inevitably leads to abuses. They are certainly entitled to all the protections of the civil rights laws and of a reasonable civil service system. But labor unions should have no right of exclusive representation in any government workplace and no right to negotiate wages and benefits with public officials who crave their votes and political support.

Denying unions rights... he must be off his rocker
This will certainly be the end of Scott Walker

Well, fuck the unions.

They've been taken over by terrorists and communists.

Terrorists and communists? That really is far-fetched.
