By extension it is a blow to the Democrap Party. These public unions often mobilize for Demorat candidates and causes of the day.

I love this excerpt from the FNC link in the thread that closed.

AFSCME President Lee Saunders had argued that strong labor unions are needed because they give “the strength in numbers [workers] need to fight for the freedoms they deserve,” including retirement plans and health care.

Can someone explain to me how "retirement plans and health care" are "freedoms"? What does that even mean!?

Any intelligent worker in the public sector will continue to pay union dues. It’s time for the unions to stop representing those who do not pay dues. Management disciplines you? You’re on your own. Get terminated? Tough luck.
Working for the United States Postal Service, I saw too many examples of people who did not join the union, but came crawling to it when they got in trouble; then went back to union bashing after the union won their case.

Any working person who does not vote Democratic is a fool.

Almost anyone could explain that to you. The difficulty comes in getting you to understand.

In the right site of life, we call that FREE CHOICE.
You go ahead and pay someone - that is your right.

NOT paying them is also right.

btw, do YOU live on a high floor?

Only for the innocent people on the sidewalks of Chicago, who have not been gunned down already.

Or since you didn't explain it, the inference could easily be made that you have disqualified yourself from being "almost anyone'.

You should work on being kinder to yourself....

So true.

You are celebrating the decline of the middle class, Ralph. It takes a certain kind of human being I guess.
