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

[DriveInDriveOut]

The passage of this bill is estimated to cost tax payers $903,000.

I'm willing to hear you out my good friend.

Please explain why you agree with the teacher's unions that pornography should be in elementary schools, and teachers should keep children's "gender identity" secret from their parents.

Use your words and explain why you think the teacher's union is right about those things.

Checking in to let everyone know the trash man is beneath me and he doesn't deserve bargaining rights.

You didn't answer the question.
Is there a reason why?

You really believe that the florida Republicans are concerned with the miniscule costs associated with collecting dues while they are throwing away tens of millions if not hundreds of millions in taxpayer money with these stupid Disney lawsuits.

Ok to answer your question as a Massachusetts taxpayer I have zero problem with the tiny amount it costs to transfer money over to our state employee unions. It's a non factor in the budget,and to be honest I have zero problem with honoring the retirement obligations for our state workers as well.

As I posted earlier, I was a gov. Union employee and I know first hand that the conservative talking points about public sector employees are BS..

I am quite involved in the IAM union here in Massachusetts and I can tell you for certain that even in liberal states like Massachusetts politicians are not terribly friendly to us. They cry poor mouth and look for consessions much like UPS does. Hell gov. Healy just screwed us by not supporting the teachers union strike, after we backed her.

Anyway, she is still way better than gov. Baker (R) that tried to destroy the MBTA ( the transit authority) and put my IAM brothers and sisters out of work.

So the cost is "miniscule" and "tiny", yet you guys are pretending the union will be destroyed because they have to cover it rather than the taxpayers. Great logic.

Oh, and as a government union employee, you're okay with everyone's tax dollars paying for your union activities. Sure, why wouldn't you be lol.

When teachers strike do we cross their line? Thats what I thought………

Florida legislators approve a gut punch of a bill to public employee unions, largely along party lines

Another blow to the working man.

Public workers only are affected. Unions representing cops, firefighters, corrections and probation officers would be exempted.

Libs here having the vapors over the cost? Suddenly they worry about government spending?

....this bill is expected to cost the taxpayers $900,000. It isnt saving anyone any money.

Well, those are not Teamsters so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Have you ever seen unions fight over jurisdictional areas and potential members? It’s pretty ugly.

Yes. They are teamsters.
Seriously your post is flat out disgusting. They aren't teamsters? Why? Because they pick up trash? Because they drive children to school? They are beneath you?

The radical extremist teacher's unions are hurting the teamsters and all other unions. It's a shame people associate those sickos with us.

Teachers are teamsters? I don’t know of any that are and the rest of your comments are just made up, drivel as I didn’t say any of that if you’d like to have a conversation that’s fine if you’re going to go off on a tangent, and make up nonsense then there’s no need to have a conversation because you’re talking to yourself.

LMFAO, you're so triggered!

Dude. You are cheerleading union busting. It's disgraceful.

Yes, I saw that estimated cost of the bill quite a bit of money although in fairness, I have no idea what it costs to administer the state taking the dues out we would really need to know the year after year cost of that to determine if they’re saving money or not.

The card check is not as big issue to me as them making these people basically recertify wanting to be in the union every year the 60% rule seems a bit ridiculous and like they’re begging to break the union. Union members will find a way to pay their dues. But having constant pressure put on people to vote against being union seems a bit egregious.

Dude, you’re making up nonsense. We’re having a conversation now if you’d like to pull up your big boy pants and have this conversation we can.

This is how negotiations work you have to look at both sides and we have to be reasonable I do not think it’s reasonable for them to require 60%. They are clearly trying to Union bust. So sad we have lots of industries that do not have Card check. And it’s never once cause someone not to stay in the union.

Yes...it's called union busting. They are willing to run out the cost to tax payers for the sole purpose of making things harder for the working man.
