Walker Will Turn Wisconsin Into An Anti-Union Joke
Scott Walker will get plenty of attention nationally for his extremist plan to strip away most traditional public employees' union rights, and while his angry base may like the cost savings he's promising, the black eye it will earn Wisconsin may prove costly, too.

What, Wisconsin would no longer be a Mecca for public sector trough feeders?
We are about to settle our afscme contract. All we have been hearing from our union rep is scare stories about Walker and how we better settle quick and take whatever we are offered. I don’t buy any of it. I have butted heads in contract negotiations for many years and have always heard the same scare tactics, and this is no different. Walker is being used as a boogieman to scare locals into not going into arbitration because they are broke after blowing all their money to keep Walker from getting elected.
The younger members are scared and are folding. We cannot even get an increase to cover the cost of living and it is our union rep who is convincing them to do so. Yes, Walker wants to hurt the unions, but so what else is new? We have never been given anything we didn’t have to fight for and have always had strong opposition. This is nothing new and the State employees sure didn’t do very well under their buddy Doyle.
The unions are taking a hit but it is because they are acting like a bunch of scared kids, telling themselves horror stories about the boogieman Walker. It is not Walker I am worried about; it is our own spineless union.
Ummm, you were saying, poster No. 2?
Anyone who spends all day whining to Sykes/ Belling/ Rush and has the nerve to call people making $50K on advanced degrees because they feel a purpose in life to do something other than schmooze and BS folks a "trough feeder" needs to spend $5 to buy a mirror.
