Less than you or more than you? Which post is correct? You make more or less than lawyers? I'm kinda confused about which of your statements you mean.
No wonder you're a sheep. It might be a little difficult for you to fill out job applications if you lost this one?
That was in September of last year. The Treasury Dept. has since issued a statement saying that this exemption would in fact be illegal & thus is no longer a possibility. Would have been good for you to have known that before your vote.
Truth be told, I bet the ones that didn't care to vote would of voted "yes", since the vote "no" folks were more motivated to vote. All the nonvoters wanted were their raises. I bet you that if everyone had to vote it would of passed by a large margin.
Stink isn't that smart. His faith that Teamcare would remain sustainable was predicated on the belief that there was a tax exemption out there just waiting for an OK from our president. As he just found out, his exemption, the one he specifically cited, is no longer a possibility and hasn't been since late last year according to the treasury department.
Seems that we get better contracts when Republicans are in office.
Who was in office in 97
As opposed to republicans who openly legislate for the reduction of bargaining rights and destruction of unions.
Please name some Republicans and what collective bargaining rights they are trying to take away.
Reagan ---- deregulation
Google the word 'Wisconsin'. When you're done with that, google "Right to work map." Red states are right to work, blue states are not.
and hearsay. Hope that's not a problem.
Republicans don't single out unions for special treatment. They support legislation that's good for union & non-union alike but doesn't favor one over the other, as it should be. Democrats successfully use that to divide workers & shoulder up to unions to get votes, but you see what happens when they are allowed to legislate. They take from your union healthcare earnings to redistribute as subsidies & without even saying sorry.
RTW is pro-worker, you've just been told that its not. In this contract its responsible in part for new hires getting their insurance sooner & the first raise in decades. The expansion of RTW states forced negotiators hand in that because they obviously weren't going to stand up for bottom rung union employees on their own. Also your map is missing a few states. If your going to do the research at least make sure its current.
The measure did not pass, as Kansas is an overwhelmingly red state. Likewise, our schools are currently laying off teachers and shutting down programs because their funding was cut to provide for a tax-break for the "job-creators," that is to say, households making over $200,000 a year.
On a more anecdotal note: My representative, the ever-so-wise (R) Sam Brownback of Kansas voted No in 2007 on H.R. 800 which provided for:
And @ Atomic_smurf RTW is RTW for less. Facts are the RTW workers make 10-30% less than non-RTW.
No that's the year we went on strike genius
