Wisconsin Governor Walker Was Elected By The People
71A new Wisconsin Governor Walker was elected by the people to do the work of the people. A majority of voters elected him to lead the State of Wisconsin in doing the business of the state.The previous Democrat Governor had 15 months to resolve the teachers union workers contract , the fact is that he didn’t do the job as required .Collective bargaining for 15 months and no labor union contract could be resolved between the parties. Now 14 Senate ( truant )officials still can’t get the job done. The day that those senators took the oath of office, they represented not only their constituents but all the people of Wisconsin. In the next election the people will vote for people who will do the work of the people!
Now that the genie is out of the bottle, the people of Wisconsin now know that the union teachers are being paid far more than the people make in the private sector. Here is the way it works should you not understand.The money to pay the teachers labor union and other union employees come from the people. The money than goes to the union employees who give money to the unions to support Democrat party politicians, who give the union'' pay back'' for giving them the peoples money. A vicious circle exists today when labor unions and union members of other trades believe that they can demand more money than the private sector working people.
Candidate Obama once said that he wanted to spread the wealth around. There is a problem, in this case that the taking is from the private middle class sector people including private sector labor union members and not from the so-called rich. One must try to get by the propaganda that the media is reporting ,find out the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The real truth will set you free.
It was reported that the President of the AFL-CIO goes to the White house 3 days a week and speaks to people in the White house, he really said that on tape. The President’s action groups , the DNC funded and organized the protesters. Something is very wrong when a sitting President gets involved with state government activities. We are republic and not a socialist government yet as some in Washington would like to see happen.
LET’S NOT FORGET THAT BARAK OBAMA WAS A NEIGHBOHOOD ORGANIZER in Chicago before rising to the top job in the country '' the Presidency of the United States''.
Here’s a quote for you and other hubbers who cannot decipher what the facts are regarding the truth.A QUOTE, It is best to be silent for someone to think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
If you don’t understand ‘’ collective bargaining’’.The 2 sides meet and try to hammer out an agreement for a new contract. In the case of the teachers labor union, the negotiating was going on for 15 months. Note that the union negotiators were not budging on their demands.The Wisconsin Governor has BEEN LEFT WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE to resolve the problem for future contract negotiations.
The whole event appears to be like a son telling the father that unless he does what the son wants , he will sit down and protest until the father relents. Sounds like the society of today where obeying the law is only for some people and not by all people. It really sounds like the labor unions are busting the states instead of the other way around.
ARE YOU AWARE THAT THE STIMULUS PACKAGE MONEY (taxpayer borrowed money ) $ billions were used to pay for union worker pension funds and to keep public sector union members working so that they wouldn’t be laid off. Unemployment in the public sector is 3%, in the private sector at least 9%.Knowing that union members are more important than you, doesn’t that frost ya a little bit?
A DEMOCRACY, that’s what the protesters are marching and protesting for?
Government of the people, by and for the people. Democrat party members of our government seem to forget who sent them to Congress or to State Governments to do the work of the people first before the work of the party. The same goes for the Republicans and let’s not forget our President Barak Obama too.

Jon, Once again, excellent an excellent writing. I've been at the table with union reps. They are happy to close a plant tto make the point, they didn't give in.
The workers may never get their pensions, the money may be gone.
Yesterday a Dem. Wisc. Senator said on TV, we left because we didn't have enough time to go over the bill before the vote. Didn't Obama do that? H
JE,
Great anwise almost propetic quote by Ben franklin, now we know who the fools are allot of times by the initial by their name amazingly the dummies all have a D by their name.. and a couple have faked voters out and put an R by their names but the D's leave no doubt... great hub. TH
I think it is a minority that is against him, but they make it sound like a majority.
Keep on hubbing!

Thanks for your ideas and comments. Just a thought came into my mind. I wonder if the unions are paying minimum wages to the protesters trucked into the state? The state could be losing tax dollars, for sure the teachers who left the kids without being sick should be fired. There are a lot of dues paying teachers looking for work that the unions haven't done too much for getting them a job.
Solidarity, sounds like a communist motto coming into the fray. The unions have been pushing ‘’WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE’’, THAT WAS A COMMENT BY ANDY STERN.
Andy Stern president of SEIU and Trumka head of the AFL-CIO have been weekly visitors to the Whitehouse. George Soros on occasion also has visited the whitehouse and met with President Obama.
Maybe planning strategy for our foreign policy? Obama promised a transparent whitehouse before he was elected.
Absolutly right JON, the Prez. promised many things to get elected. I see Gitmo's still open. Even though that is as it should be.
This is a revisionist uprising. The Democrats are very upset with November's election results but instead of licking their wounds and coming back with a compelling argument for supporting their re-election to power they are storming out in a repudiation of the democratic process.

I was a union tradesman for 26 years, started a family union contracting business for 16 years when they tried to put me out of business. We had no choice but to give them the heave , hence they tried to ruin the company even though we used union sub- contractors instead on non union companies. My workers were paid union wage rates , at times they were threaten by the union if they worked for us they would pull their cards. The worst part was the union couldn’t even find jobs for those workers.
Sorry to say that today’s unions don’t care about their members ,they rather try to intimidate you and their tactics are really disgraceful.
It’s really sad that those Wisconsin politicians labeled as Democrats FAIL to represent the people that elected them. When they take the oath of office, they then represent all of the people of Wisconsin.
The Democrats call it ‘’Democracy ‘’ but it really is extortion union style .
The silent majority must take note and wake up to social justice union propaganda
i worked in a Union shop for a summer- I was a union kid son of a well liked machinist-my dad,
I was told many times slow down- come take a walk with me...we would take a walk visit my dad and comeback all to "Slow mw down" then like clockwork 325 we would go out and wave g-bye to my father and the other maintenance guys there was what i called 10 am tea- lunch at noon 2pm coffee 330 wave to maintenance 430- we had to clean up sweep up so 5pm was quitting time- just like other unions the new guys coming in- no insurance starting at 9-12 dollars below the vet workers and oh yes they were STILL paying union dues-and us summer guys got 10/hr and paid a reduced union rate dues- for what-? what did they do for me
i cut my leg got the equivalebt of 2 stitches 9(just glued it) and i was fine 1 hour later (10 am) was told to go home with pay!1-outrageous- Then i had to take the next day off- mandatory with PAY!!! if someone had been really hurt by all means- take off but I felt "dirty" taking 4 for doing nothing while i could work....
makes me wonder....

I’ve seen both sides of the coin. There are many union tradesmen who give their boss/companies a days work for a days pay. In the 50’s the employers ruled, as time went by the unions caught up and it was 50/50. When the unions got control many employers (the small guys ) went bust. That’s the way it was and today the unions in the PRIVATE market are hurting. The private sector unions were left out of the stimulus funds, they just got unemployment checks. Do you remember when President Barak Obama talked about those ‘’shovel ready ‘’ jobs that the Stimulus money ($826 BILLION) would start.
In Wisconsin the protesters ( not yet striking ) are being organized by outside forces, funded by radical special interest groups. The people of Wisconsin support their Governor and Government. It’s not union busting, it’s only trying to level the playing field with the people (taxpayers )taking back control.
All those people protesting ( union style ) aren’t being told the truth on how the unions don’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to collective bargaining for PUBLIC sector workers. Collective bargaining was meant to protect workers in the Private sector. The federal government does not allow collective bargaining because the government is the people. The State of Wisconsin represent the will of the people. The state employs workers similar to the US Government. Politicians who are elected to serve the people have a judiciary responsibility to spend the peoples money in a responsible way. It is a fact that the unions spent $millions of the membership’s dues ( indirectly taxpayers money ) to support Democrat candidates.
The State of Wisconsin received $700 million of Stimulus money when the past governor and the democrats were in majority control of the government. It was reported that $ 600 million of the money went to bolster State Union Pension Funds. There is no doubt that the good people in the unions would not be supporting the events of today if they were told the truth.
Those 14 Democrat bummers remind me of when Senator Obama was in the Illinois Senate. Senator Obama voted PRESENT more times than a yea or nay.
The most sucessful union of all was the Soviet Union. Although it did eventually fail, it did play a major role in the Allied victory of WW2, and then stood up against half the world for nearly fifty years. And no, that Union never did look out for best interest of its workers.

STALIN MURDERED MILLIONS OF RUSSIAN CITIZENS, WITHOUT US AID the russians were defenseless except for the people.
JE,
The unions are almost as bad as the commies-
all the $ given to WI and the Dems feed it to the UNIONS
Lil mario jr in Ny is looking like he grew a set and may actually stand up to the unions in NY, to quote Yogi Berra- "I'll believe it when I believe it".
changes have to be made Now or we will end up like russia maybe...if we are lucky-China or afghanistan-
the Us would splinter before falling completely I don't know... i hope people will come to their senses and not be so stupid thinking the unions can survive and grow while the rest of us suffer

The scarry part is that our President is envovled in more ways than is being reported.The mainstream media is silent to the truth.
THE PROGRESSIVES are in control in many agencies.

The mainstream media needs to report the truth about the passage of the bill.

The president of the AFL-CIO stated this week that the battle is not over. Nation wide protests are in the planning stages. One comment was that violence may be an option, only time will tell.

A judge has ruled for a second time to delay the enforcement of the law passed by Wisconsin law makers.
A recent report this week from Union Grove, Wisconsin that the public sector labor unions are pressuring local businesses to place a notice in the store windows. The notice promotes the businesses support of the public sector unions. One store owner broke the story because she refused to go along with the unions demands. She received a letter from the union threatening a boycott of her store if she refused to go along with the labor unions demands. The labor unions action is typical when they cannot get support. Extortion, intimidation and threats often is enough for one to go along with the labor unions demands.
There has been talk in the CIO-AFL labor union ‘s hierarchy that on or after April 8,2011 may be the date that a national protest will take place. Time will tell if the protests will continue in Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin.
To be continued

An updatee!
ON WISCONSIN! SAVING PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Wisconsin public-union fight already is bearing fruit for once beleagured school districts there. The Kaukauna school districts in the Fox River Valley was $400,000 in the RED. Now it is projecting a $1.5 million surplus, a reversal that would have been impossible without the collective bargaining changes. Critics said Wisconsin was all about Republicans ‘’ hating public education’’. In FACT, it was about saving it.
Appeared in opinions section on 7/9/11 .
In the local paper on Aug 10, 2011
Title of article ''GOP hangs on to Wisconsin Senate ''
A RECALL ELECTION was held in Wisconsin as a backlash to Governor Walker’s and the Republican party passing legislation to deny unions collective bargaining negotiations.
On the recall, the GOP retained 4 seats and the democrats picked up 2 seats, leaving the Republicans a one vote majority.
Next week two more democrats face a recall vote . Some $30 million dollars were expended by the unions and various other groups. Democracy in action by special interest outsiders.

Very well written Sir. I love to learn new things and I learned a few from that Hub. Thank You. Also I see that we think along similar lines, although I think your a better writer. Darn you. (Ha,Ha)
Thanks again
