Why would they do that, buddy?I am wondering as to whether or not Gov Walker & Gov Kasich will follow suit.
First they wanted to do away with Collective bargaining, but as you read the news, their thinking about letting Collective bargaining stay concerning wages, even though they want concessions on wages, but Benefits, Sick time, Vacation time, and etc are off the table.
I say they should LEAD BY EXAMPLE: Cut their wage in 1/2, give up their benefits, sick time, vaction time and etc. If the blue collar worker has to go without, so should they.
Make me proud Governors, show the voting bloc you really do mean and care about what you say "LEAD BY EXAMPLE" give back to the citizens of your State.
YEAH RIGHT, LIKE THATS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! Not in my lifetiime or anyone else's.
And do's anyone actually believe by all these savings their going to let you keep some more or your tax money??? Guess again, it's not gonna happen.
If unionism is so bad, how do conservatives explain the 50s?
Tea Party?The need for unions is based on human nature, human foible and necessary buffers to those tendencies that have not changed, and never will...
That, and a never-ending supply of lazy, uneducated, blue collar chumps who are easily manipulated into doing the union-masters' bidding.

World War II. If you had an understanding of economics you wouldn't have had to ask the question.

Right-to-work law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The right to work for less
The average worker in a right to work state makes about $5,333 a year less than workers in other states ($35,500 compared with $30,167).[1] Weekly wages are $72 greater in free-bargaining states than in right to work states ($621 versus $549).[2] Working families in states without right to work laws have higher wages and benefit from healthier tax bases that improve their quality of life.
Federal law already protects workers who dont want to join a union to get or keep their jobs. Supporters claim right to work laws protect employees from being forced to join unions. Dont be fooledfederal law already does this, as well as protecting nonmembers from paying for union activities that violate their religious or political beliefs. This individual freedom argument is a sham.
Right to work endangers safety and health standards that protect workers on the job by weakening unions that help to ensure worker safety by fighting for tougher safety rules. According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, the rate of workplace deaths is 51 percent higher in states with right to work, where unions cant speak up on behalf of workers.[3]
Ah. You said "poorest." If I have $1 Million and I only make $20,000 per year as income am I poor? Also, you used median income as your cite. Median income is very far removed from net worth (and the purchasing power of that net worth). Median income (especially as collected by the government) is different from average income or even the average of the population within an acceptable standard deviation. Then there is the difference in costs for a similar standard of living. $40,000 a year in Tennessee is way better than $64,000 a year in Connecticut.

The study is done annually by the AFL-CIO using federal Bureau of Labor Statistics and other reliable sources. It appears very comprehensive.
Here's the 2010 report:
'Death on the Job' Report, 2010
If dead kids is so good for the economy, why didn't the market shoot through the roof n September twelve, 2001?
If blowing up tanks and ships is so good for the economy, why don't we just build a bunch of aircraft carriers, sing them ourselves in the middle of the Atlantic and toast to all the wealth we just created?
Hell, with all those broken windows, kristallnacht alone should have fixed all Germany's economic woes.

Just like we didn't come out of the depression on December 7, 1941 and wall street didn't shoot through the roof on December 8, 1941. By the way, nice deflecti...., uumm, errr, tangent your going of on there.
War is the engine that drives all economies. It is the single-best thing you can do for any economy. History is defined by the series of wars, and success and failure of all nations are forever tied to the history of wars.
And war will ultimately define the outcome of our current situation, one way or another.

But according to Mini, war is an economic panacea. What happened with TWO wars going on? It should move beyond a panacea, straight to Utopia?
