Scott Walker

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

No, you weaken every union's negotiating power to some degree.

Not necessarily.

 

[realbrown1]

Why not he got rid of the unions in his home state. May not be the first thing he does but it would be on his list

Do you actually believe this?

 

[MAKAVELI]

Not necessarily.

Yes necessarily.

Whatever Walker’s role in shepherding this particular bill to passage, he is right to claim some of the credit for making Wisconsin a right-to-work state. The legislation he signed into law Monday was made possible by his earlier triumphs over the state’s labor movement. His victories offer a lesson to policymakers in other states: If you intend to hobble the labor movement as a whole, go after the public sector unions first.

How do you think it starts? First public sector then private sector. He's the Koch bros favorite for this

Gov sector is a monopoly.
Marketplace determines the viability of Union compensation in private sector

 

[Lead Belly]

let's hope he does not get voted into the White House. If he does we can kiss our union good bye

My aunt Patty went to college with him. Said he was lazy and I believe he didn't graduate from Marquette. He could drink though.

Why? If we grow that means more union jobs.

 

[Lead Belly]

I understand the union supports the democrats but in all honesty do you really think if any one person gets elected the first thing they will do is dismantle the unions?

Scott Walker would.

I understand that but he would capitalize on any antiunion sentiment and try to pass even more crippling legislation

 

[livin the dream]

follow the money coming from his contributors and you'll know all about his intentions

This is exactly what he did in Wisconsin.

You mean, like cut property taxes?

Which he has done 4 times.

That greedy bastard.

You don't have a clue. My property taxes have not been cut four times.
He is the typical borrow and spend conservative. Says he passed a balanced budget but neglects to tell you he has borrowed billions to pay for roads while kicking that can down the road.

 

[bbsam]

I watched him announce today. Reminded me of a Dennis Miller/Richard Nixon/Kevin Nealon crreation.

How's WI performing since he implemented his agenda?



Oh wait.......absolutely terrible

 

[The Other Side]

All you have to do to understand Scott Walkers actions, is to look at KANSAS who started the same tactics long before WALKER did.

That state is in a fiscal disaster since he cut taxes for the rich...

Time will tell how far down the road Walker kicked the problems of his state.

CONSERVATIVE POLICIES RUIN ECONOMIC FUTURES...

TOS.

I hear that but have never seen or heard of efforts to get into the private sector.

Even FDR was against public sector unions since there is no market pressure to keep costs competitive.
So far, UPS and the Teamsters have kept UPS workers competitive while providing some of the best compensation around and the best in the transportation industry.

But there is a trend and it's hard to see that remaining true. How many more routes can be cut and how muchore productive can each driver be to keep that true into the future?

 

[Wizzy]

True but everything I've read and seen on Walker leaves me to conclude he is the dirtiest of politicians. There's not one good thing about him. He's very shady even by politics standards.

How can anyone who has Orien as there BBF talk about shady people?

So let's race to the bottom like fedex ground so a handful of owners like you expect to be well compensated while the ones you make your money off should "sacrifice " more and more so companies keep making insane profits?

THAT right there is unsustainable. The "trend" you speak of is a result of this country getting rid of unions and their influence for the past 60 years.


But he lets all be "independent contractors " because that's the biggest working scam going. One that will eventually catch up to fedex and not in a good way.

Whooooosh!! You hear that? That's sarcasm going right over your head and you missing the point
