Florida Republicans pass anti-union bill, reject Democrats’ attempts to soften its blow

[nWo]

I’m not advocating for getting rid of public unions just the way they do business. Any time either side has more power than the other. It is bad they need to be equal, and it needs to be fair.

If someone agrees to join a union. Why shouldn't the union be able to collect dues via payroll deduction? Why?

Most government employees are useless anyway and we'd all be better off with less bloat.

 

[nWo]

Well. That settles it then. Lmfao!

Why shouldn't unions be able to collect dues via payroll deduction?

When did I say they shouldn’t? Dues check off is important. I thought we were talking about public and private unions and the way they negotiate contracts?

Respect for workers in the workplace always has a place. But when one side has too much power, it destroys the thing they’re trying to achieve which is equity and equality. The UAW almost destroyed their selves that way.

A municipal union members are paid by me. But I can’t fire them if they strike, and they don’t answer to me, only the paymaster politicians that pander to them for votes. He only likes them because they vote democrat reliably. All he can do is blame Fox news.

Remember guys Florida is already a RTW state. All this bill does is add extra administrative costs to union halls.

The Bill passed by Florida republicans bans them from collecting dues via payroll deduction.

He’s not very knowledgeable about much.

He does learn the talking points to parrot fairly well

Most public employee unions are little more than slush funds for Democrats

Florida is already a RTW state. Nobody is being forced to join the union. Form a logical argument as to why unions shouldn't be able to collect dues via payroll deduction.

They never debate or engage in honest discussion. It’s all one big talking point or a blast of negativity towards the other side.

Great well I disagree with that, it was not what we were talking about a few moments ago. My local has some bargaining units to do not have dues check off and it is a complete mess because they have to pay their dues themselves.

It reinforces white supremacy.

Seems like when an argument is being lost this is where it leads to for some of them. L O L.

Union members enjoy better pay and benefits than non union members.

Public unions are negotiating against a politician who wants to get reelected. And most don’t want any bad publicity, so they’ll bend over backwards, even if it’ screws, the taxpayer Totally different than a private union. Trying to get a good contract from a private company.

Desantis surely isn't scared of bad publicity.
