    Greed has cost many jobs in this country. Unions our not the only ones.

    This is a completely different world than I live in. I won't go into detail, because it will drive me insane. I just have this picture of a representative of my employee coming up to me and telling me how to operate the business that I'm putting my neck on the line for. I'm the one taking the risks, making the decision and trying to figure out how to make enough money to eat each week. Somebody is going to tell me how I should be doing that for the people that I am already giving a job to? Interesting. Don't like it? There's the door, don't let it hit ya where the good lord split ya.

    What would a golf course union be called? UGCWA

    Would the beer cart girls be members? Because this is where I draw the line. I look forward to a hot beer cart girl. If
    They wear short shorts they get a little extra cash from me. Would the UGCWA split those tips?

    Well of course. They need to be protected from my rath if they don't wear short shorts and sell beer!

    Thank God!

    As do I. And I do a good job of hiring such. Not sure that's PC to say, but I don't give a crap... I have no union to answer to.

    I would imagine.

    Amen. Hopefully Walker's new mandate will embolden him to go after a right to work law for WI.

    You can hate your brother-in-law's union that paid him to do nothing for weeks, but tax payers should also hate paying for Walker to work on his campaign as milwaukee county exec. on the taxpayers' dime. Not to mention the $21,000 HIS appointee stole from the veterans fund. How about Brian Deschane? Walker appointed that guy to an $81,500 job. He has no management experience, and a couple DUI's, but his daddy is a big lobbyist for WBA. How about Steve Fitzgerald, kind of funny he got appointed to head the State Patrol ($105,678) Almost like a good will gesture to his sons, (powerful state law makers) Walker needed them on board with his budget and policy agendas. I didn't get 'appointed' to my Public Sector union job. I worked as a seasonal for a year and showed I'm a damn good worker. If I wasn't, they could've hired one if the other 900 people who applied for the job. (sewer worker) ever played in a man hole full of crap, condoms, grease, tampons, toilet paper, etc. operate a $400,000 truck everyday?? Apparently I'm way too over paid, and the state's budget problem has to be balanced on my families' and the other union workers backs. Makes me sick how ignorant some people are. The ONLY reason he did this was to benefit the radical right wing republican agenda. The unions agreed to the concessions, but it wasn't about the money savings. He admitted that in front of congress. Walker is a crook, not unions. He'll be sharing a cell with Bubba before his term is up. They wouldn't grant all those people immunity unless there was a bigger fish to fry!!
