Public? sector unions should be illegal. Unions are valid in the private sector but not in the public space. In public sector union negotiations the govt & the union bosses negotiate together, both against the taxpayer.

- In this case, it deals with a sector which faces no competitive pressure overall. There's no limit to? how much they can charge and how badly they can underperform. The taxpayer is forced to foot the bill, the children and their parents are still allowed to attend, and society suffers immensely for it.

By: PanzerDivisionBOM. on 29 Apr 12, 09:46:33
The political discourse? around unions has to do with state-empowered unions. Unions that can shut down employers by preventing non-union workers from underbidding them, and sometimes by even more overt means. Anti-competitive measures which enrich themselves at the expense of other workers, and more importantly at the expense of the consumer. -

By: tmmy773. on 27 Apr 12, 12:35:42
The right to free speech is to be free to express your ideas civilly in a public way (nothing about unions) The right to peaceful assemble is to gather in the public as a group (nothing about unions). There is nowhere in the US Constitution that says public employees have a right to? form a union.

I have no problem with private sector unions bargaining for pay and benefits. As a taxpayer, I'm not affected. But I DON'T HAVE to buy a GM car. However, I HAVE to pay taxes (or risk being incarcerated). Understand the difference? Secondly, Corporations contribute as much, or more, to the Dems? as they do to the GOP. Check out General Electric and Jeffrey Immelt, for example. Good day.

By: detroitMI76. on 24 Apr 12, 12:24:56
Are you implying that corporations and special interest groups do not donate to the GOP in equal proportion. This is a major problem with both parties.? But I doubt that people stop buying GM cars because of their lobbying activities so why should I abandon an organization that is fighting for the rights of the working class.

It is the perfect embodiment of a kickback, but in Canada the only kickbacks that get called out are corporate (sometimes?). How do they pay for these big powerful public union incentives? Stupid eco and wage taxes of course. North America funds, exempts, and advertizes failure.

According to the Maryland Reporter, over 5000 state employees earn over 100,000 dollars. Almost two-thirds of them or 3,310 worked for the University of Maryland, which includes the flagship College Park. Coaches and top doctors were the second highest earners and 117 employees in the state police.

People like yourself aren't even aware of what is going on yet you expect them to understand NAFTA and GATT and make purchases accordingly. You live in Disney land.

You are mistaken in thinking that the GATT Treaty was a deregulation, It may have looked or sounded like a deregulation but the opposite is true, This treaty was a piece of? regulation, they tried to regulate a system which if left open and free to everyone would regulate itself, the economy is you and me, we have the power to change it by voting! voting with our money on what we by and where we buy it! Your argument on the second part is just a series of words, what i call verbal diarrhea.

Hey they might not have jobs but they could get Barbie dolls and tape measures dirt cheap.

I don't have room to give you case history of what a "free market" does to a society. I will attempt to inbox you. I will say this: The crash of 08' was caused by a freeing up of the? markets in case you didn't get that memo. Namely, the repealing of the Glass Steagall Act. A piece of legislation that was imposed on banks during the great depression because the same thing happened back then. Glass Steagall was repealed in 1999 it only took 9 years for that deregulatory lunacy to cripple us again

By: joejoe652. on 27 May 12, 02:42:48
Lets talk history because Milton Friedman conveniently forgot his American history along with high school text books and every piece of right wing propaganda one could indulge in. I'm talking about everything from documentaries to any mainstream source of information. I know you think you stumbled onto something special with the "free market" theory, but sorry to tell you, it's billion dollar? Kollaide you're drinking. Bought and payed for by the Elites and spoon fed to you by Burson Marsteller

By: joejoe652. on 27 May 12, 02:32:40
First of all every business owner will hire the most qualified person for the job? no matter what the pay scale is. Are you implying that an employer would hire a less skilled worker for lets say 3 dollars an hour when he could have a better one for the same price? Unfortunately skilled labor comes cheap too. With an unemployment rate like the one we have now, the supply far out weighs the demand. College kids are graduating off a cliff 100 thousand dollars in debt right now. Your theory is shot

I'll do my best with this limited space then I guess I will try your inbox. There is a lot of ground to cover.

By: rtljmc. on 26 May 12, 20:54:41
Unions are basically employment monopolies. they do get higher wages for their workers but it is at the expense of other workers, just like when? government workers get payed more its at the expense of the tax payer to cover that, where as if the free market was allowed to operate, competition between businesses would make them offer better wages to workers, it would also allow the exportation of cheaper goods bringing money into the country making every one richer by ratio

By: rtljmc. on 26 May 12, 20:42:11
because the government has made it impossible to hire someone at a low wage even for the most simple of jobs. This has a knock on effect of putting small businesses and start ups out of work. The over heads become to expensive. While if you aloud the free market to operate the poor uneducated person can get a job at which he will get not a great wage(by your standards), but he will add experience and work his way up getting qualified along the way. He will then be? able to request a higher wage.

Because they don't know what they are and what they do and they take up Republican talking points because they have nothing else better to do in their lives. Unions protect workers from being fired for no reason or for greedy reasons like a teacher with 25 years? experience.. they decide they'd rather pay a new 22 year old half as much and throw away that good experienced teacher for something new and cheap and less experienced.

It harms the unions that are responsible in part for the economical problems of this country with their demands, harrasment, threats, bulling tactics and work stoppage amoung other behavors and high wages and benefits. Yet they deny this. The greatest harm that unions cause is being narrow-mindedness by partiality voting in Congressional and? presidential elections.

This argument is so very wrong, When we have a minimum wage in ups, you must have a certain level of education to work for them. Now what does this do to the poor and uneducated to this level? it puts them out of work. Now we look at fedex , they can higher an relatively uneducated person and pay them less but give them the opportunity to make a wage and get the skills? they need to demand a higher wage.

By: IUEC38. on 16 Feb 12, 04:11:31
Yes some construction workers make that much in big expensive cities but how many other companies tell you that steady? work is the exception, not the rule when you interview? See how rich you feel when you are making sandwiches for $10 an hour for 2 years because the economy is kicking everyones ass. There is no substantial amount of manufacturing workers making that much nor have they ever. I challenge you to prove me wrong.

Hey, I know let's work for no insurance or benefits. We're workers, we don't deserve any decent standards. We can get the jobs back by working for less than a Chinaman! I'm in! How about you!

Government Unions and the Bankrupting of America

Learn more here: tinyurl.com Government-workers unions have been political juggernauts in the US since the collective bargaining rights revolution of the 1960s and 70s. In this video, Daniel DiSalvo exposes how these unions have created cartels with their political allies, mostly in the Democratic Party, to the detriment of the taxpaying public.

By: DrakeDorosh. on 02 May 12, 05:53:21
The "budget" of any level of government only shows what they would like to spend. Pension funds,? lottery funds,enterprise funds,education funds are detailed in the CAFR. Such pools of money can be vast and never enter into the political discussion. They can bare more interest and revenue than even taxation in some cases. How such funds are managed and disposed of is more descriptive of government wealth than "budgets". Also-Private sector unions died because of globalization and free trade.

By: GunsNRosesbitches. on 03 Dec 11, 00:45:35
I believe the ultimate objective of businesses is to maximize profits. Often times, that will involve actions that are against the interests of the employees but beneficial to consumers. In this way, the reallocation of resources and the direction of capital is used to its most effective manner. Besides, the shareholders own the corporation because they invested? their money to it. Hence, corporations, rightfully so, must serve the interests of the shareholders.

That sounds nice, but it will be a problem when it comes to efficiently allocating resources. If businesses are owned by employees, then the business will do what is in the interests of the employees (which is not a bad thing), but it will often be at the expense? of the consumers. Consumers will pay more for their products because businesses cannot relocate to lower production cost because it is not in the interest of the employees.

By: Laughingblades. on 30 Nov 11, 02:05:18
Ahhh point taken, personally I think for profit businesses should be employee owned and democratically run, with elected management, then people would earn according to the profits of their company divided by labor and there would be no outlandish demands. The top down private ownership model separates the workers from the value of their labor, so they may end up expecting more than their labor is worth, and they don't share in the cost and risk equally like they would in? a co-op.

By: Ceebulsk450. on 30 Nov 11, 02:01:09
Watch the video again. It's not about private sector? unions. Private sector unions are fine, because if their demands get too outlandish, the employer can walk away. Public sector unions, on the other hand, can't really lose. And their employers aren't "rich businessmen," they're the government(aka the taxpayers). Every dollar a public union receives comes out of the pocket of regular people. And it's gotten out of control.

And, if our benefits package is too large, then it can be modified. In the case of Government Unions, these revisions don't exist. ? So, if a Government Worker wishes to collect 2 sizable pensions before their 50th Birthday, the Tax Payers pick up the tab. And, you should see how large those union pensions are.

As taxpayers, teachers should want? value for their dollar. As professionals, teachers should want pride in their accomplishments(graduates prepared for workforce).

Until then I will not treat them as professionals.

By: FlashToso. on 26 May 12, 08:55:33
If teachers learn how to create more taxpayers, it will help fix? our economy and the PUBLIC DEPT! Teachers should look out for their future by looking toward the future. Unfortunately teacher unions are like other unions where the main focus is on worker's concerns. Professional organizations should support improvement of their product first. This ensures a future for the professionals. Teachers support their jobs first and the product-knowledgeable graduates suffers.

By: FlashToso. on 26 May 12, 08:45:58
Teachers are paid by taxes. If Teachers prepare graduates to be workers/company owners, there will be more taxes for hiring more teachers (when needed). Teachers should support learners as needed, not the primary learning tool. Literacy is meant to prepare learning from books. Teachers must respect that and use information tools(like other industries use machines). Then teachers can focus on learners who need extra help. Then we can compete with China/India.?

Knowledge is cheap and education is knowledge. Virtual school are meant to support teachers and schools, not students. Allow student learning free from restrictions of schools and teachers. Allow teachers to focus on management, application, assessment and help for needy students. Education should be supporting learners, not teachers. Teachers should be focused on learning, not teaching. We have technology used to support an outdated education model. Follow? the entertainment industry.

I don't really know which way you feel, but I believe if someone is overworked, and assuming they are competent, then yes, I feel a raise would be reasonable. But due? to people screaming about their tax dollars and teachers as "babysitters", raises are not possible for even the best teachers.

By: TreesOnTheBeach. on 20 May 12, 01:26:20
Sorry, it is ignorance. She loves what she does, but it's not a "belief" that she is overworked. When you work that late every night just doing what is expected for the job, yet compensation stopped at 3:35 in the day, then you ARE overworked. It is ignorance because you and others are not aware of what goes into teaching. And just because the good teachers do want to teach the kids does not mean they should have to take a vow? of poverty.

Firstly, when someone says your child will suffer, obviously that is bullshit because I can just as easily homeschool my child if I believe she or he is not getting a proper education. Secondly education should not be privatized, just get rid of the teacher unions.? Make it where their job is constantly on the chopping block if the students are not performing at certain standards

By: DoubleR2591. on 19 May 12, 22:37:18
Then your wife should not in any way,shape, or form continue to teach if she believes she is overworked. You do not become a teacher to for you to be benefited, you? become a teacher for others (students) to get the benefit. That's not ignorance, that's the hard truth

The long term is that owners of private companies and share holders of all the other companies, along with the workers for both companies have all lost.

By: LiberInterdico. on 30 Nov 11, 13:09:55
Step back a second and think about what you just said. "Negotiate a greater share", aka "More money". That is fine, this is capitalism. Capital owners incorporate into corporations to better negotiate a greater share of the wealth generated from the use of their private property. There is nothing stopping people from making their own business? where they are both the owner and the worker, every small business (just about) starts that way.

By: Milomix. on 30 Nov 11, 09:45:53

Reagan stated that once federal employees are givien the right to strike, those same employees have the rest of us by the balls.

But that would not be important to people like you because you only get your thoughts from others, namely people who don't even know they have been pickpocketed by the Republican Banksters. They love how you are so cute in your brainwashed screed. Having actually been in Madison, there was NO violence during the Uprising.

Are you buying into the whole "Arab spring" mythology about democracy and freedom, thinking there was a third side? Doesn't matter. Even if there was a third side, at the time Obama got in, Al-Qaeda was strategically aligned with the other rebels. Hence, Obama was on the same side as Al-Qaeda.

Wow! So you're suggesting businesses move out of America because of unions wages and management disagreements?! You're very brainwashed sir or ma'am. Unions make companies better. We bring unparalleled training and skills to every job. Companies that hire non-union have some trained workers, but the majority are just going through the motions. These workers cost construction more money in safety violations, injuries, poor planning, and mistakes than union wages will ever cost.? Look at bid prop

How hard you work ...
By: luvcheney1. on 25 May 12, 21:26:55
How hard you work is irrelevant. What it takes for you to live is too. What determines your worth is the value you add to the production, and the amount of people who can do your job, in relation to the positions open. If your labor is simple, and many can do it, it has little value. If factories close, and more people want work, your job becomes worth even less. If you dont like? it, make yourself more valuable, or be quiet.

By: luvcheney1. on 25 May 12, 21:23:17
Higher wages make products more expensive, because ALL costs of doing business are passed through to customers. Unions have in non-right to? work states monopoly powers, in that you must be in the union to work. It destroys businesses when mgt doesnt agree, and every worker walks off the job. Far simpler for business to move to another State, or OUT of the USA.

By: Charlie12241. on 25 May 12, 17:02:32
That only tells me how many people in those states have to join a "union". How exactly does it destroy these jobs?

Unions get wages ...
By: luvcheney1. on 20 May 12, 15:14:36
Unions get wages higher than market rates, which causes prices to be higher for the products of their labor. This makes the consumers of the products poorer, and they are unable to purchase as many goods as they otherwise would have been able to. Other workers suffer as well, as they are forced to do with less. Union workers do get more, of course, but the consequences of that? is others get less. It is simply a transfer of wealth form other workers, to union workers.

The things you? ...
By: luvcheney1. on 20 May 12, 15:10:48
The things you? like about unions cost money, such as better wages, benefits, conditions. All costs of business are passed through to consumers. Union success means higher prices to consumers. They become poorer as they pay more. They cant buy as many things as they otherwise would have, which loses business for others, hurting their workers too. Unions simply transfer wealth from other workers, to themselves.

By: luvcheney1. on 20 May 12, 15:01:24
In non- right- to- work States, unions are granted a monopoly status, and workers must be union members in order to work. This is a restriction on an individual`s personal liberty to enter into labor agreements with employers. A consequence of this is the growth rate of population in right-? to- work States. In 1970, 28% of US population was in right to work States, by 2000 it was 40%. Monopoly Unionization does NOT provide good jobs, it provides decline and destruction of them.

The republicans would love nothing more then for all Americans to forget the need and the truth of why this country had a labor movement in the first place, to put unions and these protections in place to keep workers and their families safe. They want us to forget so they and their corporate bosses can do whatever the hell they want to any of us at any time. Oppose this man and oppose any attempts in your state? of becoming a right to work state, i live in one now, it's very crooked place.

By: Activist4America. on 16 May 12, 17:07:49
What a Fucking COWARD. Fuck you Mitt. You are against card check because the Unions won't stand for bosses or bused? in temp workers secretly voting against any form Unionization without standing behind their Vote. Boeing dug their own grave when they told the Washington State Union that they were moving to SC in retaliation for a union strike from years before. Not only is that illegal, Boeing was dumb enough to say it on tape. Thank a Union for 40 hr.W/Week,Weekends,OSHA,Holidays,min.wage,HC...

Union Bosses... ...
By: UomoVecchia. on 16 May 12, 04:12:56
Union Bosses... What is the difference between a trade Union Officer and a governmental officer such as a Governor or President. They are elected by their constituents with the purpose of representing them and their goals. Another attempt to 'Demonize' someone by? calling them a name that implies something evil. How about calling Governor Romney the "Company Boss" of the investment company, Bain Capital, that he founded in 1984. Maybe 'Boss Romney', of the 1999 Salt Lake Organizing Committee.

By: UomoVecchia. on 16 May 12, 04:00:36
We've already had over two years of the 2012? election with all the lies and deceptions continually broadcast at the American people. It seems that the politicians, especially the Republicans, believe that the more times they tell lies the more the lie becomes the truth. In fact many of the 'hot point lies' they are using to 'Demonize" the Democrats are actually actions created by Republicans such as Governor Mitt Romney. Governor Romney is against Unions, but we should show that we are UNION!

Right to Work is ...
By: UomoVecchia. on 16 May 12, 03:44:57
Right to Work is not just a Right To Work for Less! Its also a Right to Risk Working under dangerous, hazardous and the poorest of conditions, with no better opportunity for continued employment than in Union? areas. Union means it's about a group of US. Right To Work means "it's all about the individual". Statistically (check it out), RIght to Work States are among the highest unemployment areas of the USA. Vote for those supporting RTW and you'll be voting for those who caused this recession.

By: Darkzkin. on 10 Jan 12, 20:49:48
You give Nigerian politicians undeserved credit, I highly suspect you are benefiting directly/indirectly from the corrupted? system. How can you praise the government for public services they are supposed to deliver? That is why they are government officials; they are there to serve the public. I fear your lack of knowledge on how democracy should work will continue to lower our standards and expectations of governance. The government can and should do more. Wake up village man!

You do not possess ...
By: Darkzkin. on 10 Jan 12, 20:34:14
You do not possess the intellectual capability to grasp the implications of the oil subsidy removal. Yes, the policy is beneficial? in a long term context. However, is it warranted that hell on earth be made for Nigerians to arrive at an elusive utopia or paradise? You must not understand that people are suffering, while you live a life of luxury. This policy was ill formulated and implemented by short sighted individuals as you, you fucking idiot!

4000 schools has been built, 1200 hospital, more than 30000KM of road, the banks consolidations, IT bringin twitter, youtube, skype, 3&4g? networks we must give the gov't credit when credit is due. for 30yrs the military Dicks did nothing. that being said, I personally think all the senators in Nigeria should be SHOT! we should hold the gov't accountable yes. Democracy? here it is! subsidy must go if Naija should progress. within a year competition will drive the price down.

The irrationality ...
By: Darkzkin. on 10 Jan 12, 20:28:04
The irrationality stems from your self-absorbed mind. You dare praise the government because "internet and twitter" is made available? to the masses, while the basic necessities of running water, electricity and public safety are non-existent? Basically, what you just told me "is to hell with the average Nigerian man or woman?" Obviously, you are the insensible person in this exchange.

most of you people ...
By: nosaokuns. on 10 Jan 12, 20:07:23
most of you people are not very sensible. the only people that benefited from the subsidies are the rich no poor man/woman has ever benefit from these so-called subsidies. how can you expect a country to grow when it spends $8b on subsidizing fuel for the rich? and Seun Kuti saying for the past 12yrs the gov't has done nothing shows he is ill informed. yes they have not done enough, but the reason you can use internet and twitter is? because of the Gov't.

By: Darkzkin. on 10 Jan 12, 07:14:06
I am not sure who you are affiliated with my brother, but I think your stance is a bit insensitive. We should not condemn the poor in Nigeria, but we should rather point? the finger at the political elitist and their failure to provide the basic living necessities of Nigerians. Yes, the oil subsidy removal may seem warranted from a long term perspectives; however, should we make it hell on earth to arrive at such elusive future?

Union workers make one of the groups with best? Medical Coverage. The deductions made are used for good benefits but at the same time, it seems reasonable to fund a campaign that supports the union system. However, with Democrats moving away from such Unions, it is becoming hard to make their political moves.
