[QUOTE=Lambeth;36252463]can someone tell me what these fantastic union demands are? is it being paid enough to put food on the table or what?[/QUOTE] Scott Walker's bill make it so they have to pay 12% of their benefits and lose collective bargaining rights.
[QUOTE=Ridge;36249658]Not really. I can start a recall petition against the President if I wanted to, and I would have no problem getting a million signatures for it. Doesn't mean he's deserving of it.[/QUOTE] in a country of 300 million that's not much. Not even one percent.

[QUOTE=QuikKill;36252537]Scott Walker's bill make it so they have to pay 12% of their benefits and lose collective bargaining rights.[/QUOTE] Also changes the way Union Dues are paid and Unions function IIRC.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;36252693]Also changes the way Union Dues are paid and Unions function IIRC.[/QUOTE] That part of the bill was deemed unconstitutional. Before, there had to be a yearly vote on whether or not the people in the union actually wanted the union and pay the dues. Which is about $1000 a year. Now they don't have to do that and nothing changed in that aspect.
[QUOTE=QuikKill;36252216] This should get moved to mass debate for a better discussion. It gets too buried in here.[/QUOTE] Let's do that, or take this to PM, because this will take over the thread and turn it into a progressively larger response-counter response argument.
