[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 809763, member: 869"] That governor is whacked out. Recall him because he will only get worse. Those of you Teamsters who are knocking the protestors need to realize that what happens in WI will probably affect our negotiations and contract. Public unions suck already. These people don't deserve this. Students deserve teachers who are esteemed by their employers. They are willing to give stuff up to help and it is unreasonable for the governor to force them into more with no discussion. The guy is a creep and that crummy union is supposed to protect children's educators from this kind of maltreatment. Those of you who simply have nothing better to do than read this thead, say whatever you want but don't whine if your portfolio is impacted. Our competition is getting stronger and they will not be impacted as much as us. They know it and they're already preparing to capitalize. Read the news. Heard directly from a union officer, all Teamsters should be in Wisconsin right now. I say if that is an unreasonable thing for you to do, find some way you can help. Start by helping yourselves and contact your locals, your senators, and talk to your co-workers. I am not trying to be alarmist, this crap is possible. At least be prepared as much as you can. If things get crazy at least your head won't be spinning. If I'm wrong, cool. I'll be the 1st to admit it. I'm just trying to take care of myself and my family. In case you've missed these, good reading: [URL="http://www.thenation.com/article/158640/labors-last-stand"]http://www.thenation.com/article/158640/labors-last-stand[/URL] [URL="http://www.thenation.com/article/156811/making-unions-matter-again"]http://www.thenation.com/article/156811/making-unions-matter-again[/URL] [/QUOTE]
