DeSantis Likes to Call His War on Workers War on Wokeness/For These Same Workers, Hospitals Have Become the New Steel Mills — Minus the Strong Unions

[Smokin' OP]

Not if someone doesn't agree to it, or refuses to sign up for the union..

NOT, how it works.
You don't work at that employer...............period.
NOT hired........end of story.

That's of course bullshit.

The God Given Right-to-work recognizes the right of non-union people to work and Florida is a Right to Work state.

Further, the settled law of the Janus Decision recognizes this basic civil right to all government employees. And of course, when a union is just getting its toe into a workplace, the employees have to be muscled to voluntarily join the union at that point in time.

You're wrong.

Barack Obama served three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2005, when he was elected to the United States Senate. During this part of his career, Obama continued teaching constitutional law part time at the University of Chicago Law School as he had done as a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and as a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004.

Harris, the same.
Born in Oakland, California, Harris graduated from Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. She began her career in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, before being recruited to the San Francisco District Attorney's Office and later the City Attorney of San Francisco's office. In 2003, she was elected district attorney of San Francisco. She was elected Attorney General of California in 2010 and re-elected in 2014.

Born in Jacksonville, DeSantis spent most of his childhood in Dunedin, Florida. He graduated from Yale University and Harvard Law School. DeSantis joined the United States Navy in 2004 and was promoted to lieutenant before serving as a legal advisor to SEAL Team One; he was deployed to Iraq in 2007. When he returned to the U.S. a year later, the U.S. Department of Justice appointed DeSantis to serve as a Special Assistant U.S. attorney at the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Middle District of Florida, a position he held until his honorable discharge in 2010.

Both had equal but different experience for transitioning to the next level.
Obama had the least experience, as far as resumes are concerned.

what governing did they do?....

 

[Smokin' OP]

That's of course bullshit.

WTF?
There are no "God given rights".
There are plenty of non-union employees in Florida, moron.
Not one person, works for a union.

Further, the settled law of the Janus Decision recognizes this basic civil right to all government employees. And of course, when a union is just getting its toe into a workplace, the employees have to be muscled to voluntarily join the union at that point in time.

So, the employees, at some point in time voted to be represented by a union.
No one is forcing anyone to be in a union.
If, at that time, you voted against joining a union, and the vote didn't go in your favor, you find another non-union job.
Same thing when a new CEO, is taking over, and cutting raises, and cutting/consolidating departments, forcing their employees to do more, with less.
Don't like it?
Move on.

 

[Smokin' OP]

what governing did they do?....

They were in government, had employees that worked, under them, that's governing.
Just like any foreman or CEO.

If you're referring to legislating, all three had a part in that, deciding who does what and voting on a budget for their respective departments.

Must be, why republicans, hate government..................they don't know how it works.
And refuse to learn................like Trump and his cult.

you said above...DuhSantis just got elected with NO experience at governing, yet people hired the wannabe Trumpster, retard.....according to you he had as much experience governing as they had....so why did you make this statement?...

Sure, it was ELECTIVE courses that brought the US students education level so low?
So, a student fails because of electives, not the primary courses?
OR................it MUST be the teachers.

Well, it seems as though the quality of teachers has dropped, or it could be that courses like US history, English, and Science has been derailed by this agenda driven bullshit, and the fundamentals take a back seat to telling young Suzy, or Johnny that they’re responsible for the worlds ills because they were born white, something they could fix if Suzy becomes Johnny, and vice versa…

Cut the crap, we no longer have teachers the caliber of those back in say the 80s

Bad news Champ, "governing" doesn't mean working in government, or even having employees.

According to who?
FOX?
Kids have an opinion, for the most are smart as hell, when they don't act like dumases, when they apply themselves.
I don't see a math teacher interjecting CRT, or whatever that is, into their curriculum, in class.
They do that crap in elective courses, which, I'm sure parent's have a large share in that decision.

Not really, the little queen ruled.
As well as mom, but I did nod as I was supposed to.

So, what does it mean, Trump Jr.?
Was Donald NOT governing over his "empire"?
OR was it just Malaria?

Ron DeSantis’s crusade against “woke ideology” was always a thinly disguised assault on the rights of Florida teachers and their unions. His recent “Teacher’s Bill of Rights” only makes it explicit.

say you’re a politician angling for the White House while trying to pursue what would be a deeply unpopular campaign against teachers and unions. How do you do it without losing the ability to posture as pro-worker? Or without alienating the disaffected independents and even liberal-leaning voters who you’ll eventually want to peel off?

DeSantis’s “anti-woke” legislation has often ended up not so much curtailing wokeness (which even his office can’t seem to define), as much as it has undermined the basic workplace and constitutional rights of teachers — say, by denying their most basic right of self-expression under threat of firing, or muzzling their teaching, which one Florida judge already flatly ruled violated the First Amendment.

Sure, this often bigoted agenda isn’t particularly popular either. But it’s not quite as politically toxic as picking a fight with a group of workers who polling shows most Americans like and believe deserve better pay, including in Florida.

Now DeSantis is taking this campaign to the next level, more explicitly targeting teachers’ unions with his misleadingly named Teacher’s Bill of Rights, in what DeSantis’s office paints as legislation to “protect teachers from overreaching school unions,” and what Fox News frames as an assault on “union bosses” — a favorite term for corporate “populists” who want to weaken worker power without looking like obvious hypocrites.

DeSantis has put forward a slate of measures under the rubric of “paycheck protection” that are meant to make life much harder for unions in the already anti-union state: mandated reminders that teachers don’t have to join a union and how much it costs if they do, no handing out union literature at work, and no automatic deduction of union dues from paychecks, to name a few. That last one is particularly menacing in a state where, as of 2018, unions get officially disqualified from collective bargaining if less than 50 percent of their members don’t pay dues.

DeSantis would also bump up the requirement for unions to represent at least 50 percent of eligible employees to 60 percent, a provision that seems clearly motivated by the fact that the United Teachers of Dade — whose former president was his recent opponent’s running mate — has a 50.7 percent representation rate. More menacingly, the outline also proposes annual audits for unions, and allows state investigations into them over not just allegations of fraud, but the much broader and more easily politically massaged causes of “waste and abuse.”

This is why corporate-funded politicians like DeSantis have an ideological commitment to weakening unions, given the fact that their financiers view unions as one of the chief threats to their power and wealth. But there are also practical, political reasons that DeSantis himself specifically sees these attacks on teachers’ unions as a priority.

With Florida’s Democrats in a shambles, its teachers’ unions are one of the only remaining institutions that can mount a political challenge to someone like DeSantis, and in a state that has successfully cut the legs out from under workers’ ability to unionize no less. As the right-wing Manhattan Institute has griped, “despite the fact that Florida’s teachers’ unions operate at a comparative disadvantage” to those in some liberal states, “they appear to more than overcome the dual headwinds of on-cycle elections and a more conservative-friendly electorate,” with union-backed candidates hitting at least a 60 percent win-rate in all but one election before 2022. In fact, unions’ ability to win school board elections may well have motivated the provisions in DeSantis’s “Teacher’s Bill of Rights” shortening school board term limits by four years.

DeSantis is clearly a canny politician, but there’s no guarantee his latest salvo against teachers and their unions will work at a time when both unions and teachers are enjoying historic favorability. Wherever the chips fall, no one should talk about DeSantis’s efforts in the state as if they’re part of some war against wokeness. This is an anti-worker crusade, pure and simple.

For Workers, Hospitals Have Become the New Steel Mills — Minus the Strong Unions

Health care workplaces have replaced steel mills and auto plants as the nation’s big employers. But while industrial workers once had mighty unions, hospital workers have struggled by comparison to win representation and good contracts.

DeSantis, like Trump, are aiming towards one thing, "indoctrination" by way of control. Weakening Unions and Teachers, only weakens a childs education.

The GOP is all about controlling everything. It's about dumbing us down. They want to ban books. They are all about stripping our freedoms, and our abiolity to think; Opinion | Trump’s wild attempt to out-MAGA Ron DeSantis It's all about indoctrinating the masses;

DeSantis will be finding out soon, that America isn't Florida.

It will be.

My kids are grown and gone, but it seems to me today's public school teachers are a sorry lot, indoctrinating the kids with the CRT and other crap, and deliberately deceiving the parents. That should be a crime IMO.

Desantis is hampered by the same issues as all republicans these days: he hates every group in America different from him and there aren’t enough votes anymore. He’s dead in the water.
